Alexis Bledel's Dating History Before Now-Ex Vincent Kartheiser Included Some "Gilmore Girls" Costars

Bledel and Ventimiglia, whom fans remember as her on-again-off-again onscreen boyfriend, Jess, on "Gilmore Girls," publicly dated for nearly four years. When Jess was introduced in mid-season two, the actors fell for one another and reportedly began dating in real life in 2003. While Rory's tumultuous romance with the Stars Hollow troublemaker doesn't go the distance, Bledel and Ventimiglia were pretty serious about one another, and at one point, the couple were even discussing marriage. "I think everybody who has been dating for more than a couple of years probably talks about it at some point. It's a fun thing for us to talk about, but that's it — it's down the road," Bledel told People in a September 2005 interview.
After three and a half years, Bledel and Ventimiglia called it quits in June 2006, with the latter's rep confirming the news to People. The breakup appears amicable, as the exes once again shared the screen in the reboot. And when Bledel won an Emmy for her performance in "The Handmaid's Tale," the "This Is Us" star shared nothing but well wishes for his ex. "I'm very happy for her. She's always been a great actor and I think as long as she's been in the business for her to be recognised. I'm very happy for her," he gushed about Bledel's talent to Daily Dish in 2017.
