Seven years after the emotional cliffhanger of “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” fans finally know the truth about who the father of Rory’s baby is. Valerie Campbell, the show’s costume supervisor, confirmed the identity in a TikTok video shared on March 19. She noted that Rory wasn’t sleeping with Paul and that she would have been showing if the Wookiee was the dad, leading to the conclusion that Logan Huntzberger is the father. Campbell also revealed that showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino was surprised people didn’t immediately intuit that Logan was the father.
Jess was a fan favorite for Rory, but the show never hinted that they had recently been intimate, meaning he is not the father. Now that we know the truth, we can look back at the possible candidates and strange fan theories about the father of Rory’s baby.
