Los Angeles, March 13 (IANS): Actress Blake Lively's former boyfriend Penn Badgley says she was his best onscreen kiss when they were dating. He also counted her as his worst kiss when they seperated.

The 28-year-old enjoyed kissing Lively onscreen in TV series “Gossip Girl” when they were dating, but admits things were awkward once they had ended their relationship in 2010, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Speaking on "Watch What Happens Live", Badgley said: “I'll say Blake (was the best on-screen kiss) because we actually had a relationship at the time.

“And worst? Maybe Blake after we broke up.”

However, Badgley thinks he and Lively, who has a two-month-old daughter with husband Ryan Reynolds, deserve credit for how they conducted themselves at work after they split.

Badgley explained: “We were actually consummately professional, to be honest.

"I think we should both pat ourselves on the back for getting through it -- because, you know, anything is complicated in that way, and we handled it.”
