Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser first met on the set of “Mad Man” in 2012. Kartheiser played Peter Campbell on the show, while the “Gilmore Girls” actor guest-starred as his mistress, per Vulture. Despite filming several romantic scenes together, Kartheiser reassured fans that they didn’t begin dating until two months after they wrapped filming. “We were completely professional,” he told the publication. “We never saw each other out. We never — it was nothing, it was just work.” Despite Kartheiser’s cool demeanor, his co-workers saw a different side to the romantic connection to Bledel.
Jon Hamm shared, “I did know he liked her from a very early point. I was a supporter of that union.” It was evident to cast members the pair was a perfect fit. The show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, explained, “They’re both very down to earth, with a sense of responsibility and strong family ties. And they’ve been acting since before they can remember, which makes for a very special personality.” Although Bledel and Karthesier are actors, they managed to keep their personal life out of the public eye. In fact, the couple preferred to keep their relationship private.
Karthaeiser told Vulture, “It’s something I realized about the most important things in my life. If I share them with the world and I open that door to their fuming anger that they need to get out or their adoration that they want to flaunt, it lessens it.”
