Ambrose, produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. It follows the history of Easy Company which was a part of the 506^th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101^st Airborne Division.

He was also cast in “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”, and had numerous film projects over the next few years. In 2004, he became the host of the television show “Decisive Battles”, which depicted several historic conflicts using the game engine of “Rome: Total War”. He also had a role in “Until the Night”, a drama starring Norman Reedus.

After roles in “Brothers and Sisters” and “Wedding Bells”, Matthew then became a main cast member of “Gossip Girl” in 2007, a role which got him a Teen Choice Award. The show is based on the book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar, and ran for a total of six seasons; it follows the story of upper class adolescents living in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Other stars of the show include Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Kelly Rutherford and Peen Badgley. He stayed with the show for its entire run, doing a few film projects in the process.

Personal Life and Social Media

For his personal life, it is known that Settle eloped with actress and model Naama Nativ, marrying in 2006. The have a child together, but their marriage only lasted until 2011 when they divorced. He also has a daughter with now ex-girlfriend Maria Alfonsin. Since then, there haven’t been any new reports about romances coming the public’s way. He also had a relationship with actress Kelly Rutherford, who was his on-screen wife during “Gossip Girl”.

One of the reasons there is very limited information about any of his past and present personal endeavors is due to the lack of any strong online presence. He has an account on Twitter, but hasn’t been active on site since 2016. The same can be said for his Instagram account, on which he became inactive at around the same time. He hasn’t taken any new acting projects since that year, and it’s unknown if he’s taking a break, or has stepped away from acting altogether. With no confirmation, he is still slated as active.
