Bledel and Kartheiser havekept their relationship private, rarely making public appearances together or speaking about each other in the press. The pair also avoids use of social media, so personal posts of their relationship can’t be found.

Kartheiser expanded on this mindset in a conversation withVulture. “It’s something I realized about the most important things in my life,” Kartheiser said in 2014. “If I share them with the world and I open that door to their fuming anger that they need to get out or their adoration that they want to flaunt, it lessens it. It cheapens it; it weakens it. And it’s magical, love, and all of that is profoundly spiritual, and it just doesn’t feel right.”

“She’s really blossomed as a woman and now she’s a proud new mother and married and happy,” Patterson toldGlamour. “We’re comparing notes because my son [born July 2014] is about a year and a half older than her young son. I’m showing her photos and videos and what to expect. We’re just really enjoying each other’s company.”
