Referring to the love triangle between lead characters Jared Padalecki’s Dean Forester, Alexis Bledel’s Rory Gilmore and his character Mariano, Ventimiglia said it would be “really good” if his daughter were on “team Dean.”
He joked, “I would be totally fine with it if my daughter ended up watching the show and she was team Dean. I get it because I’m team Jared, so I get it.”
For those who don’t know, the American comedy-drama television series, which aired from 2000 to 2007, featured Dean breaking up with Rory during a school dance marathon.

Going forward, Ventimiglia reflected on his continued friendship with Padalecki and others Gilmore girls co-star, Matt Czuchry, who was also one of Rory’s love interests.
Referring to Czuchry’s character Logan Huntzberger, the Rocky Balboa The star noted, “I know Logan and Jess and Dean were kind of divided in who they were as characters, but Matt Czuchry and Jared Padalecki couldn’t be… I mean, they’re the best guys.”
“They couldn’t be more beautiful as human beings, and I think it’s nice that over 20 years later we can all still talk about the show we grew up with and come together as grown men to acknowledge that and still have loving words for each other,” Ventimiglia said.
