Personal life
Bledel enjoys reading, hiking, taking photographs and spending time with her family and friends. She also likes to play the piano. Between scenes on Gilmore Girls, she headed to her trailer to play her keyboard. She also works with First Book, a nonprofit organization, which gives books to the poor. After drinking so much coffee due to her character Rory's strong appreciation for it on the first season of Gilmore Girls, she became sick of it. When Rory "drinks coffee," Bledel is drinking tea or Coca-Cola instead.[7]
She was ranked #87 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2005.[8]
She dated her Gilmore Girls co-star Milo Ventimiglia for three and a half years, beginning around December 2002, before separating sometime before July 2006.[9]
During an appearance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, on April 25, 2006, Alexis Bledel revealed that she loves traveling to Europe, and that she has already been to the Tuscany region of Italy and loved it. In that same appearance, she also stated that she likes all types of foods, from gourmet cuisine to fast food specialities. She particularly praised Wendy's, calling the Hi-C Fruit Punch sold at Wendy's restaurants the "perfect chaser" to their chicken nuggets.[10]
In an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman, she revealed that she plays recreational soccer.
