Jared Padalecki revealed his daughter’s love for the Gilmore Girls show. In a chat with People magazine for this year’s Sexiest Man Alive, he shared how people walk up to him to explain their love for the show.

He added that the show also has a fan club and that his wife, Genevieve Padalecki, watches it with their daughter, Odette, who is now eight. Padalecki shared with the outlet that she loves everything about the show except for when Dean and Rory kiss.

He said:

“She doesn't comprehend. She's like, ‘Why is dad kissing somebody else?’ And Gen, who's an actress as well, is like, ‘Well, because he's playing a character and that character and this character are in love, and they're kissing.’ Odette is like, ‘Hmm.’ She digs her feet in: ‘Dad should only kiss mom.’”

He then added that he don’t want to upset his daughter. Odette is the youngest of Padalecki’s children.

Here are more details about Jared Padalecki’s kids.


Everything you need to know about Jared Padalecki’s children

Jared Padalecki met his wife, Genevieve, on the set of the Supernatural series in July 2008. Their romantic relationship blossomed after she was cast as a recurring character on the fourth season of the show.

After dating for two years, he proposed to his wife at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The couple tied the knot in February 2010. And today, they are parents to three children: Thomas Colton, Austin Shepherd, and Odette Elliott. The family resides in a farmhouse in Austin, Texas.

Their first and eldest son, Thomas, was born in March 2012 and is now thirteen years old. In a heartwarming Father’s Day post shared on his Instagram, Jared Padalecki expressed gratitude to his kids for teaching him new ways of life. He said:

“Thank you for letting me feel what it's like to love something more than yourself. You’ve taught me more than any mentor or teacher ever could… you’ve humbled me. You’ve helped me rediscover the joy of discovery. You’ve turned my world upside down. And I wouldn't have it any other way.”

The Supernatural actor is often seen sharing posts with his family on his Instagram from their outings.

In December 2013, the couple welcomed their second baby and named him Austin Shepherd. He is currently 12 years old. He shared the news in a tweet and wrote:

“My amazingly strong wife home-birthed a happy and healthy baby boy last night. Please send love.”

The actor shared that his son loves animals and the natural world. On his eighth birthday, his wife also shared a carousel of pictures which showed Shepard posing with different animals.

Four years later, Jared Padalecki and his wife welcomed their third child and their only daughter, Odette. He often shares posts with her on his Instagram handle.

He recently shared with People magazine how being a father to a daughter has made him feel “nervous and vulnerable.” He explained how fathers can be more relaxed with their sons as they go through the same phase, as he reflected on the cultural attitude that boys should be tough and resilient.

But when it comes to daughters, the father acts as a more protective figure, especially from any form of threatening or inappropriate contact.
