Television Series
In 2007, Gossip Girl was adapted for television. According to Cecily von Ziegesar, the television character is largely faithful to the original. Among the aspects to be maintained are her admiration for Audrey Hepburn and her interest in Yale University. However, the series is also noted for its deviations from the source material, including the exclusion of Blair's brother Tyler. The show also explores romances between Blair and multiple male leads, resulting in occasional love triangles. In the fifth season, Blair is revealed to be pregnant.
Among fans and the media, Blair's bond with Chuck Bass is commonly known by the portmanteau "Chair", while her relationship with Dan Humphrey is referred to as "Dair". The nicknames and viewer interest in these relationships have been recognized by the show's producers.
