What The Cast Of Gilmore Girls Looks Like Today

Lauren Graham earned a Golden Globe nomination and many, many tragic Emmy snubs for her role as Gilmore family matriarch Lorelai on Gilmore Girls, and she has since put her expert parenting skills to use on the small screen in multiple other roles, including her parts in Evan Almighty and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Graham most notably used her mothering skills in her series regular role as Sarah Braverman on the tear-jerking Parenthood, on which she starred for six seasons. It was there where she fell in love with her long-time boyfriend Peter Krause, whom she has been dating since 2010 (and who made a cameo appearance on Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life). As it turns out, though, the two could have met even earlier, courtesy of one of Graham's Gilmore Girls co-stars— apparently Kelly Bishop, who played her mom Emily, suggested that the pair get together during the series' original run.

Alexis Bledel probably defined your childhood and young-adult years through her role as Rory Gilmore, growing up on screen alongside the audience. During her time on the show, she also took on a big role in another prominent young adult property, joining The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants as the quiet Lena. She reprised the part in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 shortly after the series ended.

Bledel remained mostly quiet for a few years after that, appearing in movies like The Good Guy and Post Grad. In 2012, she took on a three-episode guest starring role on Mad Men, which ended up being a fateful part for her, as it is where she met her future husband Vincent Kartheiser. The very-private pair got engaged in 2013 and married the next year; they had their first child, a son, in 2015.

Scott Patterson set many, many hearts aflutter with his role as Lorelai's true love Luke on Gilmore Girls, and he's continued to be a big hit with the ladies through his time as a musician, previously singing and playing guitar in the blues rock band Gordon and currently playing in the band SMITHRADIO. He released his first EP with the group in 2016.

Patterson has still found some time for on-screen roles, starring in the three films in the Saw franchise and joining the miniseries Angels in America shortly after Gilmore Girls wrapped up. He was also a regular on The Event and has appeared on 90210 and in the films Boys of Abu Ghraib and Kidnapped: The Hannah Anderson Story.

Keiko Agena played Rory's musically inclined BFF Lane on Gilmore Girls, but, unlike her character, Agena was nowhere near high school aged. The actress was actually 27 years old when she started playing the 15-year-old Lane, meaning that she was already far along in her career when the show started.

Agena's personal life, though, followed a similar arc to her character, with the actress getting married in 2005, the same year that Lane got married on the series. Agena is still married to Shin Kawasaki, a composer whom she calls her best friend. Aside from her happy home life, Agena is also active on the improv scene, performing with a number of groups, and has an artist's workbook, titled No Mistakes, set to be released in the summer of 2018.

Liza Weil made what could have been one of TV's most annoying characters one of TV's most lovable, playing Rory's rival turned friend Paris Gellar on the series. After the show, Weil had a few years of small guest starring roles and minor film parts before she met the woman who would later give her most memorable part, guest starring on Shonda Rhimes' Private Practice in 2011.

From there, Weil became a fixture in Shonda-land, first moving into playing Fitz's other mistress, Amanda Tanner, on Scandal before landing the part of lawyer Bonnie Winterbottom on Rhimes' hit How to Get Away with Murder. She is currently dating her co-star Charlie Weber, who she has been with since the summer of 2016; Weil already has a daughter with her ex-husband Paul Adelstein, who she divorced in March of 2016.
