This is the place to discuss the friendship between Matt and Alexis..
Discussions about 'rumors' or anything that could hint at a possible serious love relationship can be discussed, as long as it's pointed out that there is no truth to this... Unless either one of them will confirm such a thing.

We don't know much about their friendship except for a few things such as the mixed CD that Alexis made for him, the extra's on the S5 DVD where they laugh with one another and that sweet interview that Alexis took from Matt

Alexis interviewing Matt in 2006!

Quotes

"Alexis (Bledel) and I are more comfortable. We trust each other," ~ Matt, October 2005.

"Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel and Veronica Mars's Kristen Bell took the stage and compared their series, which will share Tuesday nights. Both are set in small towns, they noted, and Bell pointed out, "We both date hot guys named Logan." Replied Bledel, "But my Logan is hotter!"

Alexis is a dear friend of mine. We trust and respect each in all aspects of our lives. I look forward to days when I get a chance to see her ~ Matt (fanbase.de interview)

"Alexis' tender soul is matched only by her courage to be authentic in a world that demands her stardom," ~ Matt (Teen People Magazine June/July 2006)

You know that Alexis is so laid back. She's so great to work with! I'm listening to a CD right now that she made me that is a mix CD of this incredible music. She made it for me for no reason and that just tells you what kind of person she is. She's completely laid back so it's not going to be a problem. She's done it before. I've done it before and she's amazingly cool so it will be fine. ~ Matt


We had lunch this one-day before the first day of shooting our first scene together. We just talked and got comfortable with each other and that helped. Like I said, Alexis is so laid back that it was just easy to get along with her. We had one lunch together before we started shooting. ~ Matt

"It's really fun working with him, I mean it definitely is, because he's always very engaged, he's always in character, and it kinda motivates me. Because, like, I'm on the show every day, and when he comes in, he brings this fresh new energy and its kinda nice to work with him. So, I hope we get to have a lot more scenes together this season." ~ Alexis


"I think what's great about the relationship that Alexis and I have off screen, is just about how we can make these scenes the best possible. She's entering a new fase for her character and I think she's walking that line beautifully of not forgetting this character that she has developed over the past few years but also going into something new, which is a challenge for her. How is Rory going to break out but still stay true to who she is. She's done a great job with that of walking that line and on the same side for my character, who's doing these things as well. And you know, the great thing about Alexis and I is that we want to make the scenes the best we possibly can and do our jobs in the best ability for the show. She helps me and I help her and we have a great relationship in that way where we both feel safe and trust each other to say 'Does that work?' or 'Does it not?' 'Is that stupid?' 'Is this okay?' What do you think is going on here? Do you think he would do this or that she would do that? It's nice to have that relationship with your fellow actors."
~ Matt (Random Rant 2005)

Alexis is kind of who I interact with mostly, and its kind of it's been the same for us as far as our relationship is concerned. It always continues to grow the more time we spend with each other, the more kind of moments we have together, the more scenes that we do our relationship, as far as friendship is concerned, continues to grow and that’s something really special for me in my life as who I am. This has been a huge part of my life for three years. I’ve worked very, very closely with Alexis and so many of my moments and memories of the past three years are working on the show.
~ Matt Czuchry (BuddyTV Interview February 2007)

I was nervous and trying to be all cool. I drank champagne and then spit it up all over myself and Alexis. It was the perfect way to break the ice.
~ Matt Czuchry (about the first onscreen kiss with Alexis Bledel - US Weekly)
