Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham joined Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy where she reflected on her relationships and revealed some of her biggest regrets. Lauren, who famously starred as the beloved character of Lorelai Gilmore on the hit series Gilmore Girls , starred on the newest episode of Call Her Daddy titled ' Lorelai, Love, & Life Lessons.' During the vulnerable-yet-hilarious chat, the 58-year-old actress dished on a number of topics from her fondest memories on set of the hit comedy series to how she wished she had advocated for herself more in real-life relationships.
In a clip of the episode shared on the Call Her Daddy TikTok , Lauren said: "When I finished Gilmore Girls and I was like 'Anybody - who's up for dinner? No one? Everybody had children while I was gone?'" Lauren, despite portraying a loving single mother on-screen, shared that she had never welcomed any biological children in real-life. Lauren went on to add: "There is an age at which a lot of people get married, there's an age at which people have kids, there are people who are just not on that timing. And it's hard when you know you see someone else shoot ahead and it's not that you don't want it for them, but you want it for yourself.
" She continued: "Now I'm obsessed with timelines in a way I think is really positive because I'm now at an age where I want to be planning what else I would like in my life." "I want to be thinking really actively about that. I was mainly in relationships where it didn't really occur to me to say 'This is what I would like, this is what I would not like.
' I thought that happened just organically. But people that who are the happiest are doing what they want to do and being really clear upfront," she added. Lauren later went on to share some of the issues she'd often find herself in throughout her relationships.
She revealed that in one relationship in particular, she really struggled with a power imbalance. The former Parenthood star admitted that because her acting career was thriving, she would often find herself trying to "shrink" herself or "dim" her own light or accomplishments to lift up the confidence of her partner. Alex, heavily relating to the topic as a successful woman herself, passionately called attention to this double standard.
She replied: "I bet it's rare that a man is like trying to dim his success to make the woman feel comfortable that she's maybe not as high up in her career." She then added: "You don't come home and be like 'Holy s--- I had the best f----- day at work' because they're like standing there like 'Well woah, woah, woah, woah, why are you shining so bright and I'm over here feeling like a piece of s---?'"
