Within Three Weeks of Filing for Divorce, Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser Reportedly Finalised Their Separation!
Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser’s divorce has been finalized.
Just 20 days after PEOPLE learned the Mad Men veteran filed for divorce from the former Gilmore Girls star on August 10, the couple’s marriage is officially over. (At the time, both Bledel’s representative and the Putnam County Court in New York confirmed the filing.)
Following reports in Us Weekly, Page Six, and OK, PEOPLE reached out to representatives for Bledel and Kartheiser for comment on the divorce‘s final status. The legal representative representing Bledel refuses to provide any details.

Bledel, then age 40, and Kartheiser, then 43, met in 2012 while working on the set of Mad Men. Season 5 featured Bledel as Campbell’s mistress Beth Dawes, played by Kartheiser’s character, Pete Campbell.
They started kissing shortly after Bledel’s 2012 appearance on the show. They had a secret wedding in 2014.
Both Bledel and Kartheiser have been very discreet in their public displays of affection for one another, opting to make few joint public appearances and comment on their relationship in the press.

The two also don’t seem to be on each other’s social media feeds, thus there are no intimate photos or posts about their relationship online.
In an interview with the magazine Vulture, Kartheiser elaborated on this way of thinking. Kartheiser said in 2014, “It’s something I realized about the most essential things in my life.”
“If I let other people in on my feelings, whether it’s the smoldering rage that needs an outlet or gushing admiration that needs to be shown off, the effect is dampened. It diminishes in value and efficacy. It doesn’t seem right, even though love and all that other stuff are amazing and deeply spiritual.”
It was not widely known that Bledel and Kartheiser had their first child together until the fall of 2015. Their representatives told PEOPLE about the birth of the child.
Even though Bledel and her husband have yet to make their child’s public debut, her former Gilmore Girls co-star, Scott Patterson, recently shared some candid thoughts on motherhood.
“She’s matured as a woman and now she’s a proud new mother, married, and happy,” Patterson told Glamour. “My kid (born in July 2014) is almost a year and a half older than her tiny boy, so we’re exchanging notes on raising toddlers.
I’m preparing her for what to expect by showing her pictures and movies. We’re simply having a great time in each other’s company.”
