ACTOR Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel are getting a much happier ending than their “Mad Men” characters.
Kartheiser (who plays Pete Campbell), 35, and Bledel, 32, quietly tied the knot this summer in California.
The couple exchanged vows in June with some of the actor’s “Mad Men” cast in attendance, according to Daily Mail.
The couple began dating in 2012 after the actress’ three-episode guest stint in the hit AMC show, where Bledel played Kartheiser’s mistress.
Kartheiser recounted to Vulture in April that they didn’t start dating until two months after Season 5 had wrapped: “We were completely professional. We never saw each other out. We never — it was nothing, it was just work.”
However, co-star Jon Hamm saw their relationship coming. “I did know he liked her from a very early point,” said Hamm. “I was a supporter of that union.”
“Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner said: “I told Vinnie that they would be great together. I was like, ‘Don’t blow it.’ Honestly, they’re a really good match. They’re both very down to earth, with a sense of responsibility and strong family ties. And they’ve been acting since before they can remember, which makes for a very special personality. It’s not just that I thought they would look cute together … even with all of Alexis’s amazing qualities, I think that if she had not been such a good actress, he would not have been interested.”
In March 2013, it was revealed Kartheiser and Bledel were engaged. “Vincent picked it out,” she said of her ring, telling Us Weekly that they would do their wedding planning “together.” “I’m a very lucky man,” the actor said.(SD-Agencies)
