Matt Czuchry Knows Who The Father Of Rory’s Baby Is On 'Gilmore Girls'

It's hard to believe that four years have already passed since Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life debuted on Netflix. As fans will remember, the Gilmore Girls revival series ended with quite the cliffhanger—Rory tells Lorelei she's pregnant without revealing who the father of her baby is.

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Matt Czuchry, who plays one of Rory's main love interests in the series, revealed co-creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino told him who the father was while filming A Year in the Life. "They told me who the father of the baby was, and they said, ‘Yeah, you can tell whoever you want.’ And I never have because one, that’s for them to say. Ultimately this is Amy and Dan’s show and it’s Lauren[Graham’s] show and it’s Alexis [Bledel]’s show. It’s not mine. And so, for me, it doesn’t feel like the right place to say who it may or may not be,” Czuchry explained. “Also, if we do come back, they may change their minds. So it could become somebody else. Those are the reasons why I’ve never said what they told me on set.”

While there are currently no concrete plans for another Gilmore Girls installment, Czuchry says he has his own ideas for what should happen next, especially when it comes to Rory and Logan's on-again-off-again relationship. “If I was writing it, he would be with Rory,” he said of his character. “I think that Logan was a character who was pushed in a certain direction because of his family, that he didn’t want to be in that direction. He wanted to follow his heart and his love, which was Rory, but when he was younger, he didn’t really have the strength to do that. That being said, he also asked Rory [to marry him] and was going to defy his family. But Rory, if people remember, kind of said no, it wasn’t the right time. … He would do anything for her, including giving up the whole family business.”

Czuchry told the outlet he would “be lucky to work” with the Palladinos again, as well as his Gilmore Girls costars, including Bledel, Graham, and his on-screen rival Milo Ventimiglia. He said his relationships with them are “really important to me.”

Let's keep our fingers crossed Gilmore Girls comes to the small screen again one day so Czuchry can fill us in on the big secret.
