In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the world of Stars Hollow, Lauren Graham, renowned for her portrayal of Lorelai Gilmore in the beloved series “Gilmore Girls,” has opened up about her offscreen romances with co-stars from the show. Speaking candidly during a panel event in Charleston, South Carolina, Graham disclosed that while she never took her work outside the set with Scott Patterson, who played Luke, she did indeed date multiple other cast members during the show’s run.
“We did not ever take our work outside of the work,” Graham confessed, shedding light on her professional approach to her onscreen romance with Patterson’s character. However, she candidly admitted, “I did date a couple of the other guys. I mean, who else was I gonna meet? I was there for 16 hours a day.”
Despite the tantalizing revelation, Graham opted to keep the identities of her Gilmore Girls paramours under wraps, leaving fans to speculate about the lucky gentlemen who captured her heart behind the scenes.
Interestingly, Graham’s romantic entanglements on the set of “Gilmore Girls” aren’t the only instances of finding love in the world of television. The actress famously dated Peter Krause, who portrayed her brother on the NBC drama “Parenthood,” for over a decade. The relationship, which spanned more than 10 years, came to an end in 2021, marking another chapter in Graham’s eventful love life.
Notably, Graham’s decision to pursue a relationship with Krause was encouraged by Kelly Bishop, her onscreen mother in “Gilmore Girls.” In her memoir “Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls,” Graham revealed Bishop’s maternal guidance, citing her recommendation to seek a partner who was more her equal, similar to the “wonderful actor on Six Feet Under.”
As fans continue to unpack this unexpected revelation, Graham’s honesty and candor serve as a testament to the enduring allure of Stars Hollow and the lasting bonds forged both on and off screen. With her offscreen romances adding yet another layer of intrigue to the Gilmore Girls legacy, it’s clear that the world of Stars Hollow continues to captivate audiences with its blend of romance, drama, and heartfelt moments.
