  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nAlexis Bledel is best known for playing Rory Gilmore in _**Gilmore Girls**_ , a character whose love life fans are very passionate about. And Alexis dated some of her onscreen boyfriends too! Earlier this week, my phone buzzed with a text from a friend I hadn’t spoken to in three months. “Dean, Jess, **Tristan** , or Logan?” she asked. Sensing the urgency of the situation, I immediately responded, “Logan 100000 percent.” I’ve elected myself president of the Logan Huntzberger Fan Club since the first time I watched __Gilmore Girls__. I firmly believe that Logan is the best partner for Rory. Sorry to all the Jess girlies out there — and if we’re looking at off-screen relationships, that includes Alexis Bledel.\n\nAny __Gilmore Girls__ fan worth their coffee knows Rory Gilmore’s dating history like the back of their hand, but Alexis Bledel’s dating history is much more low-key. The star is much more private, but just like Rory, she’s captured her fair share of hearts over the years, including two of her __Gilmore Girls__ love interests! Rory may have Dean, Jess, Tristan, and Logan, but Alexis has Jared, Chris, Milo, John, and Vincent.\n\n* * *\n\n## Here’s everyone Alexis Bledel has been publicly linked to since her TV debut as Stars Hollow’s resident bookworm.\n\n### Did Alexis Bledel and Jared Padalecki ever date while they were on Gilmore Girls?\n\n\n\n\nThis might be controversial, but I think Dean was the best first boyfriend Rory could have had. As far as we know, Jared Padalecki was the best first boyfriend Alexis Bledel could have had, too. The __Supernatural__ alum confirmed he and Bledel dated while filming __Gilmore Girls__ Season 1.\n\n“When Alexis and I met, we were both 17 years old and were both Texans and kind of in this new, strange city and I was like, 'Hey, want to go out to dinner?'\" he told __Glamour__ in 2021. “I don’t know if we tried to keep it a secret. I wish it was scandalous or something! I think it was more kind of silly.” I guess he really was “her Dean.”\n\n### Alexis Bledel dated Chris Heuisler too.\n\n\n\n\nBledel may have dated two of her __Gilmore Girls__ love interests, but she dated three of her __Gilmore Girls__ co-stars. Chris Heuisler had a small role as a Stars Hollow High basketball player in Season 2 Episode 11, titled “Secrets and Loans.” The pair didn’t interact onscreen, but casting director Mara Casey told __Life & Style__ that they were briefly together offscreen.\n\n### How long did Milo Ventimiglia and Alexis Bledel date while filming Gilmore Girls?\n\n\n\n\nOkay, even though I’m Team Logan, I happily admit that Rory and Jess had crazy onscreen chemistry. That’s probably because their actors dated for three years in real life! They started dating halfway through filming Season 2 (which was around 2002 and was the season Jess moves to Stars Hollow) and broke up in 2006. They’ve stayed on good terms since; Ventimiglia even **congratulated** Bledel on her Emmy nomination in 2017.\n\n### And Alexis Bledel dated John Paul in 2010.\n\n\n\n\nAlexis Bledel briefly dated this British model __between 2010 and 2011. They were photographed attending a**promotional dinner** for Kate Spade’s new fragrance in September 2010.\n\n### Did Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel get married?\n\n\n\n\nBledel guest-starred on Season 5 of __Mad Men__ as the mistress of Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser). Their illicit affair was totally above board in real life. They waited to begin dating two months after filming wrapped, got engaged a year later, and tied the knot in a **“small and intimate family affair”** in June 2014, according to _US_.\n\nThe couple were careful to keep the details of their relationship private, so the world was happily surprised to learn — from **Scott Patterson** , who played Luke Danes on __Gilmore Girls__ — that they welcomed a son in fall 2015. In 2022, __Us Weekly__ reported that Kartheiser had filed for divorce after eight years of marriage.\n\n### Is Alexis Bledel single?\n\n\n\n\nBledel currently appears to be single. I may be on Team Logan for Rory, but I’m on Team Alexis for Rory’s real-life counterpart.\n\n**Check out The Latest News On Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds for even more celebrity relationship content!**\n\n_This post has been updated._",
