Actor Chace Crawford opened up about sharing his beloved rescue dog, Shiner, with his ex-girlfriend, actress Rebecca Rittenhouse. 

During a June 2024 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the “Boys” actor shared that he and Rittenhouse have continued to co-parent their precious pup, despite their split. He acknowledged that the situation is not ideal. However, he explained that he and Rittenhouse, who is currently engaged to Kyle Robiskie, opted to share Shiner because “it’s all about the dog.”

“I don’t think it’s a weird thing at all. People think it’s the funniest thing. I’m like it actually is the only way to have a dog,” stated the “Gossip Girl” star. 

He also stated that he and his ex-girlfriend are “still friends and cordial.” In addition, he clarified that he and Rittenhouse do not interact that often. Crawford explained that she has “the key to [his] house” and will let herself inside to retrieve Shiner. 

Crawford also stated that he will only date individuals who are okay with his and Rittenhouse’s co-parenting agreement. 

“This dog takes precedent. I think I might love this dog more than my future child. I’m not even kidding. I would die for that dog,” said the 38-year-old.
