A year in life?

Several mysteries have plagued Gilmore Girls fans over the years. Why do Lorelai and Rory eat so much takeout and not go broke or gain weight? Who sent Lorelai the ice cream maker? But perhaps the most widespread mystery comes from the Netflix revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Who is Rory’s baby daddy? Now we may finally have an official answer.

For those in need of a quick refresher, the end of the four-part revival ended with Rory revealing to her mother that she is pregnant. But the show ends there before we get any more details. The revival was released in 2016 and we haven’t had any meaningful updates on the show since then. Every once in a while we hear from the cast and creator that they’re interested in continuing the show, but that hasn’t come to fruition yet.

Rory’s love life has always been a hot topic within the Gilmore Girls fanbase. The debate about their best friend between Dean, Jess and Logan rages on even more than a decade after the end of the original series. But the revival has significantly narrowed the dating pool. Rory was engaged to a guy named Paul but cheated on him with Logan, a decision fans are still talking about and baffled.

But now, after a new batch of TikTok videos shared by A year in life Costume designer Valerie Campbell, we may have an official answer as to who fathered Rory’s baby.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life costume designer says Logan is Rory’s baby daddy

Yes. As reported by TVLine, Campbell said that Logan was the most obvious answer and she even took the time to rule out the other possibilities. She says Paul is unlikely because she would have had the baby much sooner, and if the mystery Wookiee guy, she would have been much further along.

Some fans even hoped that Rory had secretly hooked up with Jess and it just wasn’t shown on screen. That always seemed like a long way off though, as it doesn’t make much sense why the revival wouldn’t have explored their relationship further if they wanted it to be a real possibility.

“The only obvious choice is – you guessed it – Logan,” says Campbell.

She also claims that series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino never understood the “mysterious” aspect of this question because she thought it was very obvious. But when TVLine reached out to Sherman-Palladino, she simply replied, “No comment.”

It seems the mystery has finally been solved! What do you think of Logan, the father of Rory’s child?
