Milo Ventimiglia is a huge star, which is not surprising since he has played some of our favorite movie heartthrobs. Ventimiglia has always been good at playing romantic characters on screen, from his early roles as Jess Mariano in “Gilmore Girls” and Peter Petrelli in “Heroes” to his most recent ones as Jack Pearson in “This Is Us” and Charlie Nicoletti in “The Company You Keep.” He is a bit more private about his private life, though.
In a 2017 interview with People, the 45-year-old actor explained why he doesn’t talk about his love life in public: “I try to minimize myself so people can see the character and really get into the work.”
Still, Ventimiglia has been in a very small number of high-profile relationships over the years. Like many other famous people before him, he’s fallen in love with two of his co-stars. These relationships got a lot of attention from fans and the media, which changed how he feels about dating co-stars now. See Ventimiglia’s short but sweet list of dates below.
Alexis Bledel
Ventimiglia and Bledel started dating in real life after they played lovers on “Gilmore Girls.” People says that they were together for almost four years before they broke up in 2006. The two have never said what caused them to break up, but they seem to be on good terms because they were able to get back together in “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” on Netflix.
Hayden Panettiere
Even though she was 12 years younger than he was and played his niece on the show, Ventimiglia started dating his “Heroes” co-star in 2007. People says that after almost two years, they broke up because they had “very different lifestyles.”
Ventimiglia told Mr. Porter in a 2017 interview that he “wouldn’t change a thing” about dating Panettiere, but that he “would never do it again.” By “it,” he meant dating a co-star. “Things that happen to you in your life shape who you are. Everything I’ve been through, from jobs to friendships to relationships, has helped me become the person I am today. You learn how to do things better. Not until my mid- to late-20s did my job and relationships start to wear on me.”
Isabella Brewster
Soon after he broke up with Panettiere, Ventimiglia was seen getting close to the talent agent in Santa Monica. The agent is the younger sister of actor Jordana Brewster. During their trip to Disneyland in February 2010, they were very affectionate with each other. However, Us Weekly says that their relationship ended when Isabella began dating Russell Brand.
Kelly Egarian
The actor seems to have started dating the marketing coordinator late in 2016. In December of that year, they were seen holding hands at lunch in Venice Beach, California. The couple kept their relationship very private, so it’s hard to tell if they’re still together in 2023 or not. Since they were last seen together at the Emmys in September 2017, they may have broken up or are even more private than usual.
