“This Is Us” star Milo Ventimiglia got to answering some fan questions about the Netflix revival of “Gilmore Girls” and addressed maybe the biggest question of them all: Is Jess the father of Rory’s baby?

“Jess absolutely loved Rory still — absolutely did. But it was also like the moment was passed. Or was it not? I don’t know. … I didn’t write the show, so I don’t really know,’ ” he said during an interview with Jess Cagle for People. “I just know that [creator Amy Sherman-Palladino] wanted me to look lovingly in the direction of Rory, played by the great Alexis Bledel, and I did. And fans are like, ‘Oh my God, is it your baby?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ It could be — I don’t think it is — but it could be.”

At the end of the revival, fans learned that Rory (played by Bledel) was pregnant but the identity of the father remained unknown. Fans theorized that the father could be Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), Jess, or the one night stand, Wookie.

“I think that he’s never going to not love her,” Ventimiglia added. “Now that doesn’t mean it’s a romantic love — it just means, I think, the two of them found something deep, a connection so deep when they were so young that even though their lives went on different paths, different directions, they had that. They had that together and you never lose it.”

In November, fans were treated with four episodes of the show that followed their favorite Stars Hollow residents after the original show went off the air in 2007, and Ventimiglia said that it was definitely fun but a very different experience this time around.

“It was fun. It was absolutely fun, but it was a different experience for us on the inside,” he explained. “To the fan, they see the group of actors, the stories, and the characters. But to us, 13 years later, it’s a different crew. So the producers are there, Scott Patterson and Alexis Bledel are there, but, you know, the guys that are operating the camera from that experience, they’re not there … I love my crew. They’re my family when I’m on set. I look out for them, they look out for me. And when you don’t have that same crew, the experience is just different. It was fun, I enjoyed it, I’m happy I got to step back into Jess’ leather jacket for a moment, but at the same time, it was a different experience.”

'Gilmore Girls': 10 Theories About 'A Year in the Life's' Unanswered Questions (Photos)

With a relatively brief four-episode run, Netflix's "Gilmore Girls" revival left fans with more questions than answers, especially regarding two major unresolved plot points. Warning: Spoilers ahead.
Netflix
Who is the father of Rory's baby?
Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino finally revealed the final four words of the series in the last episode of "A Year in the Life," with Rory surprising her mother -- and viewers -- with news of her pregnancy. But the baby's father was never revealed, leaving fans' imaginations to run wild.
Netflix
Logan Huntzberger
Logan is the most obvious contender for father, given that he's the only person Rory is shown to be sleeping with on the show. Plus, the thematic parallels between Logan and Christopher would make the pregnancy especially resonant.
Netflix
Paul
Rory was technically in a relationship throughout the entire run of the revival, even though she never actually seemed to remember it. So maybe she did sleep with Paul what's-his-name at some point, and just forgot about it.
Netflix
The Wookiee
One of Rory's lowest points of the revival comes in "Spring," when in a moment of desperation, she has an alcohol-fueled one-night stand with a guy dressed as a Wookiee. The timing might be a bit off since Rory reveals her pregnancy in "Fall," but it's certainly possible.
Netflix
Surrogacy
In the revival, Paris runs a fancy fertility clinic frequented by the likes of Neil Patrick Harris, raising the possibility that Rory's baby isn't even hers. The younger Gilmore even jokes at one point that her former roommate had once eyed her as a surrogate.
Netflix
Jess Mariano
This seems like wishful thinking more than anything, but Jess fans have been hanging on to hope that Luke's nephew could be the father of Rory's baby, based on little more than one longing glance.
Netflix
Who sent the letter to Emily?
In another hanging storyline, Lorelai and Emily made an attempt at therapy in the "Spring" episode, leading to the revelation that Emily received a "heinous" letter filled with accusations and abuse on her birthday. Lorelai vehemently denied sending letter, but the issue was never resolved.
Netflix
Lorelai actually did send the letter
It seems unlikely that Lorelai would outright lie about having sent the letter -- she admits as much to her mother -- but it's hard to deny that anybody else has as much motive to send an expletive-laced letter to Emily Gilmore as she does. Maybe she just got so mad that she forgot?
Netflix
Teenage Lorelai
Emily doesn't give many details as to when she found the letter, just that it was received on her birthday. It wouldn't be entirely out of character for her to bring up a decades-old grudge she's been holding against Lorelai since her rebellious teen years.
Netflix
Trix
Richard's mother already devastated Emily with a letter once, when it was revealed in the original series that she begged her son to marry someone else on the eve of their wedding. And Trix was also named Lorelai Gilmore, so it fits.
WB
Rory
An angry letter doesn't really seem like Rory's style, but as the third Lorelai Gilmore, she's in the running.
Netflix
Emily's lying
Or maybe she just made the whole thing up.
