While Chad Michael Murray played Ted Bundy in 2021's Ted Bundy: American Boogeyman and it has been years since he starred on One Tree Hill as Lucas Scott, he will all the time be Tristan Dugray to Gilmore Girls lovers. But did Murray and his co-star Alexis Bledel date? Both actors have had stable careers since their days at the sometimes frightening private college Chilton. Bledel was once beloved for enjoying Emily on The Handmaid's Tale and Murray's current career involves many Hallmark films.
Although Tristan wasn't a prime persona on Gilmore Girls and popped in and out of seasons 1 via 3, and it's easy to wonder whether Chad Michael Murray and Alexis Bledel were romantically concerned while starring on the hit teenager collection.
It's no secret that Alexis Bledel and Chad Michael Murray have both dated co-stars. Alexis Bledel was in a relationship with Milo Ventimiglia, who played Rory's boyfriend Jess Mariano, in 2002 and Murray married fellow One Tree Hill solid member Sophia Bush in 2005. Fans are serious about what the actors' off-camera dating and wonder if sparks flew between them.
However, Alexis Bledel and Chad Michael Murray never dated every different all the way through his time on Gilmore Girls or in a while. The characters have such good chemistry, regardless that, and obviously like each and every different despite their perfect pursuits.
While Gilmore Girls fanatics are Team Jess, Team Dean, or Team Logan, but no one ever talks about being Team Tristan. But there are for sure some sparks flying in Rory and Tristan's scenes.
While she hates that he calls her "Mary" and makes a laugh of her when she is the new girl at Chilton, and Tristan is too immature for her to actually date, Rory does be informed that her classmate is nicer than she firstly thought he used to be.
Tristan is always ready with a comic story or quick quip, like in the season 1 episode "Rory's Dance" when Rory is ready in line to buy tickets for the Chilton dance and Tristan says, "And she's reading again. How novel." Even despite the fact that Rory finds Tristan utterly aggravating as a result of she will get to understand him better, he has some personality traits that she likes, as he's sensible and humorous.
Fans love when Rory and Lauren Graham's character Lorelai comic story round all the time, so if Rory was extra open to Tristan when they first meet at Chilton, it kind of feels that the two characters could spend more in their scenes laughing and having amusing. Still, it is humorous staring at Tristan bother Rory when she's just attempting to concentrate on her reading or schoolwork.
Although enthusiasts know that Alexis Bledel dated Milo Ventimiglia, they may not have heard that she was actually in a dating with Jared Padalecki, who played Dean Forester, the first personality who Rory falls in love with.
Jared Padalecki mentioned dating Alexis Bledel in an interview with Glamour in 2021. When the actor was once asked about being in a dating with Bledel, he admitted it, and shared some fascinating behind-the-scenes details. It turns out that the co-stars had one thing in common: their house state.
Padalecki mentioned, "It is true! But I had never met Alexis before the show. We did date, but they cast me as a human being, and then I became a boyfriend. When Alexis and I met, we were both 17 years old and were both Texans and kind of in this new, strange city and I was like, 'Hey, want to go out to dinner?' I know she dated Milo for a while and yes, she and I did date."
The actor shared that they had been a couple early on in Gilmore Girls. And while he shared that they weren't seeking to conceal their romance, it isn't something that seems to be widely known.
He continued to Glamour, "I don’t know if we tried to keep it a secret. I wish it was scandalous or something! I think it was more kind of silly. We were two 17-year-old kids who were like, 'Hey, you want to go bowling?' It wasn’t anything super juicy."
Chad Michael Murray talked about Gilmore Girls and spoke kindly about his co-star Alexis Bledel in an interview with TODAY in 2021. The actor said, “She simply used to be so committed to Rory. Alexis used to be superior. She was on it. She's the person who added to the majority of my scenes what's proper."
Murray said that Bledel was always happy to answer questions that he had, and he called himself a "novice" on the Gilmore Girls set since he wasn't a main character. While he sounds humble when talking about his time on the series, he was absolutely in control of his character during his scenes, and it's hard to say that another actor could have been such a good Tristan.
Murray also said that he hadn't starred on a TV show for more than a brief period of time before, so the role of Tristan is special to him. He said, “I believe that was my first recurring role on television. And so, you know, for me, I was really just getting accustomed to the world. And so, I was just kind of holding on for dear life."
The actor also praised Gilmore Girls co-creator and showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino, pronouncing, "her writing was just so on point; it still is obviously today. And she's so good at getting the best out of you and getting the most out of you at every moment.”
It seems like Chad Micheal Murray loved being on Gilmore Girls and he worked with another co-star on his 2023 TV series Sullivan's Crossing. Murray played Cal Jones, Maggie Sullivan's (Morgan Kohan) love interest, and Scott Patterson, who played Luke Dane, is part of the cast as Maggie's father Sully. The series shares the same charming small-town feeling as Gilmore Girls.
