6. Alexis Bledel And Milo Ventimiglia Dated In Real Life
Life imitated art when Alexis Bledel (Rory) and Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) dated in real life, having played love interests on the show. The two first met when Ventimiglia joined the cast in 2001 and one year later, they started a secret romance together. Even when their on-screen characters broke up, the couple's relationship continued.
They dated for four years and even considered marriage. Bledel and Ventimiglia eventually split in 2006 and it’s never been made fully clear why they ended it. However, they stayed on good terms as the two happily reprised their roles for the revival.
