Gilmore Girls’ Jared Padalecki Weighs In on Rory’s Boyfriend Interview

Gilmore Girls it’s more than just a show—it’s a way of life, a religion.

That’s why decades after the show first aired in 2000, fans are still debating who Rory’s boyfriend (Alexis Bledel) is perfect for: bad boy Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia) who stole her heart with a shared love of reading, Yale classmate and grandparent choice Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), or her first love Dean Forester, played by Jared Padalecki.

But as it turns out, Jared himself has a take that will surprise fans.

“Which team am I in?” i Supernatural the alum scoffed E! News at Steel City Comic Con. “Okay, I’m Team Jess. I am him.” (For more on Jared’s interview, watch E! News August 12.)

However, he is not the only creator Gilmore Girls a boyfriend with an unexpected vision.

“It’s funny,” Jared continued, “Milo’s a buddy and he’s the Dean of the Club. Somebody sent me a meme, when he gets to his office in his house, he has his Emmy nomination warning letter and in the bottom corner, it’s like ‘Team Dean forever.’ So I drew ‘My team Jess forever’ with tags, like the same Milo, samesies but with you.
