The pair met on the set of Mad Men in 2011 and got engaged in 2013. At the time Kartheiser said: “I’m a very lucky man. I keep saying girlfriend. And then I’m like, ‘I mean, my fiancée!’”

They secretly wed during an intimate ceremony in Ojai, California in 2014 and welcomed a son in 2015. Alexis had kept her pregnancy a secret and didn't even make an announcement after the child was born, her Gilmore Girls co-star Scott Peterson revealed the news. The name of her child, now age seven, is still not known.

The pair were last pictured on the red carpet for the Emmy Awards in 2017. Currently, no reason have been given for their split.
