“She’s really blossomed as a woman and now she’s a proud new mother and married and happy,” Scott Patterson told Glamour in May 2016. Alexis and Scott starred as Rory Gilmore and Luke Danes, respectively, in Gilmore Girls from 2000 to 2007 before being reunited for Netflix’s revival. 

“She’s just the most likable, intelligent person and adorable human being. She hasn’t changed at all. She looks the same. We’re comparing notes because my son [born July 2014] is about a year and a half older than her young son,” he spilled while promoting Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. “I’m showing her photos and videos and what to expect. We’re just really enjoying each other’s company.”

While their son, whose name was never revealed, was born in the fall of 2015, it is unclear if the former couple welcomed more children in the years since.
