In the mid-aughts, Alexis Bledel was on the screens and in the hearts of countless romcom fans.
Given her talented acting skills, it would be easy to assume Bledel was born a natural performer.
“I always thought that I would be behind the scenes.”
And, like the rest ofthe cast of “Gilmore Girls” today, she has stayed busy.
She decidedly keeps her personal life private, a fact that is unsurprising given her more shy nature.
So, whatever happened to Bledel?
Ironically, her character’s on-screen love interests ended up becoming her love interests off screen as well.
In 2012, Bledel guest-starred as Beth Dawes on season 5 of the hit show “Mad Men.”
Her character had an affair with Pete Campbell, played by Vincent Kartheiser.
While filming the show, the actors kept it strictly professional.
“We were completely professional.
We never saw each other out,” he said during an interview withVulture.
“It was just work.”
“I told Vinnie that they would be great together,” Weiner told Vulture.
“I was like, ‘Don’t blow it!'”
Bledel and Kartheiser walked down the aisle two years after meeting on the set of the show.
“It cheapens it,” he continued.
“It weakens it.”
Although they kept their romance under wraps,Bledel and Kartheiser’s marriageeventually came to an end.
Kartheiser filed for divorce in New York on August 10, 2022.
“I’m showing her photos and videos and what to expect.
We’re just really enjoying each other’s company.”
What’s more, Bledel’s passion for renovating is personal; she previously renovated her own home.
The former couple sold their newly renovated penthouse for $1.32 million in 2016.
Alexis Bledel discussed how the show’s revival came about.
Clearly, there was plenty of interest from fans.
“Rather than being sort of reactionary to everything around me, I could just focus on the scenes …
It’s almost like getting a do-over.”
Before filming the sequel, she had not seen some of her fellow castmates in years.
Original cast members Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson also took part in the beloved series’ revival.
“After the series' fourth season, Bledel made the decision to leave the show.
In 2017, the actor received the prestigious award for outstanding guest actress in a drama series.
She also expressed admiration for her character, sharing.
I would love it!
It would be the best thing.”

Although Bledel did not win a SAG award, she enjoyed her night out with her costars.
