Be still, our beating teenage hearts.

PEOPLE can exclusively announce thatAdam Brodyis set to guest-star on his wifeLeighton Meester‘s ABC show,Single Parents. Brody, 39, will play Derek, the musician who loved and left Angie (Meester) years ago.

After years of stewing, Will (Taran Killam) convinces her to track him down and say her piece — and it doesn’t exactly go well.

Brody’s character will appear in the season 1 finale, which will shoot the first week of March and air in early May.

This isn’t their first time teaming up for the same project. They’ve already starred in two rom coms together:The Orangesin 2011 andLife Partnersin 2014.

Single Parentspremiered on ABC last fall and follows a group of adults navigating single parenthood with their young kids. Speaking toGlamourin September, Meester, who shares 3-year-old daughter Arlo Day with Brody, said she still finds way to relate to her character even though she’s not a single mom herself.

“Angie is a paralegal and a mom and has very little time to do anything,” said Meester, 32. “We use comedy on the show to explore co-parenting and being single parents. I can only imagine it is the hardest job in the world, because being a parent is the hardest job in the world.”

“Nobody can tell you what parenthood is going to be like,” she continued. “You think you know, and then it’s just so hard. I feel so, so lucky that I have help and a husband. I feel stable, but there are so many people who don’t have that. In a really tender way,Single Parentsexplores how parenting is an emotional roller coaster.”
