First, we categorize everything we know about Bledel’s dating history.
Jared Padalekki
Bledel went on a brief date with Gilmore Girls co-star Jared Padalecki, who played her on-screen love interest Dean Forester. In a 2021 interview with Glamour, Padalecki confirmed that she was thrown in during filming season 1, which aired from October 2001 to May 2001.
“When Alexis and I met, we were both 17 years old, Texans in this new, strange city, and we were like, ‘Hey, do you want to go out for dinner?’,” he told the magazine. “I don’t know if we tried to keep it a secret. I wish it was scandalous or something! I think it would have been even more stupid. We said, ‘Want to go bowling?’ It wasn’t super juicy. ”
Chris Whistler
In 2016, Marla Casey, casting director for the Gilmore Girls, told Life & Style in 2002 that Bledell had a short-lived romance with another co-star. She added that the actor is “a real sweet kid.” Wheysler made a bit of an appearance in Season 2 as a basketball player at Star Hollow High School.
Milo Bench Milia
Bledel went on a date with Milo Bench Milia after meeting during filming for Gilmore Girls Season 2. The romance began in late 2002 or early 2003. When asked if she and Benchmilia were planning a marriage, she replied, “I think it’s fine for anyone who’s probably been dating for a few years or more at some point. That’s fun to talk about, but that’s all.
The two split in 2006. A Bench Milia representative confirmed his breakup that July, telling people that “he is currently single.”
But they seemed to maintain good conditions. When appearing at Wizard World’s St. Louis Comic-Con event in 2014, Bench Milia was a season 2, episode 19 moment entitled “Teach Me Tonight.”
“It was an episode where we got involved in a car accident. I remember sitting in that car with Alexis. We had so much fun,” Ventimiglia, who starred in the NBC hero, told the panel. “We just sat there, laughed, joking, and had fun, but the scene itself was really, really, really, really well written.”
They also reunited in the 2016 reboot, Gilmore Girls: Years of Life. The following year, Ventimiglia congratulated Bledel on winning Emmy for an outstanding guest actress in the drama series for her role in the Handmade Stories. “I’m very pleased with her,” he told Bravo’s “Daily Dish.” He adds “She has always been a great actor,” and she has been in business for long enough “to be recognized.”
John Paul
According to distractions, Bledel had a brief escape with British model John Paul in 2010. According to the outlet, they were spotted at a Kate Spade fragrance event in New York City. However, their romance seemed to end soon.
Vincent Cartaser
Bledel and Vincent Caltaser met when they were guest stars in the fifth season of Mad Men. Their characters had events on screen, but off-screen, a healthier romance unfolded. This was confirmed every week in June 2012.
In a 2014 interview with the Vulture, Kartheiser said he didn’t start dating until the end of the season. “We were totally professional,” he said. “We’ve never seen each other. We never did. It was nothing, it was just work.”
They got engaged in March 2013, a few months after their red carpet appearance at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the following year they got married in Ojai, California. “It was a small, intimate family affair,” the source told us each week at the time. “They wanted something relaxing and beautiful. Ojai was the perfect place. His family jumped out of the East Coast.”
They kept their marriage modest and welcomed their son in 2015 whom they didn’t share their name. However, after being together for 10 years, Kartheiser filed for divorce in 2022.
