Jared Padalecki is another “Gilmore Girls” star who’s been lucky in love. Following his stint as Rory Gilmore’s love interest, Dean Forester, Padalecki went on to star on “Supernatural,” where he met his now-wife Genevieve Padalecki (neé Cortese). “I was a single dude, she was a pretty girl in her underwear on the first day on set. I was very excited to meet her,” the “House of Wax” actor shared during NJCon 2012 (via the YouTube channel of fan kaykayboo182). The two took it slow, and finally went on their first date after four months.
Jared and Genevieve got married in February 2010 in Sun Valley, Idaho, where the latter grew up, per Inside Weddings. “It was really important to me to share my love of the mountains with Jared’s family,” she told the outlet. They welcomed their first son, Thomas Colton Padalecki, in March 2012. Their second, Shepherd Padalecki, followed in December 2013. In March 2017, their daughter Odette Elliott was born.

The longtime couple worked together again on “Walker,” with Genevieve playing the dead wife of Jared’s lead character via flashbacks. Although Genevieve was “nervous” about how fans would perceive her role, she eventually gave in to her “excited” emotions. “I honestly really, really love working with my husband. It’s one of those weird things that, not only do we live together and parent together, but I always say my favorite relationship with him is working together. I really, really enjoy it,” she gushed to Us Weekly.
