She began the video saying: 'Most of you know me through my family and their story. I've always felt a little bit different and now I know why.

'So I took a 23andMe DNA test and I got the results I never knew I needed.'  

Hopie then shared a picture of herself and her biological father hugging and smiling for the camera as she continued: 'Turns out this is my dad, not the one that everyone knows.'

    Hopie Feek says she's "extremely" disappointed by Rory Feek's new blog post, which he wrote in response to her announcement that he is not her biological father.

    "My one request was for him to be kind and not shame my mom," she wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday (Feb. 11.) "Today, he shared her private history in his blog, which is extremely disappointing."

    That statement is in response to Feek's post from the same day, where he said that Hopie's announcement didn't come as a complete surprise to him. He also shared some of the details around Hopie's conception and birth timeline, by way of explaining why he suspected his then-wife might have been involved with another man around that time.

    Main article: Lorelai Gilmore

    Lorelai Gilmore, portrayed by Lauren Graham, is the only daughter of Richard and Emily Gilmore and the mother of Rory Gilmore. At 16, Lorelai chose not to marry Rory's father, Christopher, and instead fled to Stars Hollow, where she worked at the Independence Inn under Mia's guidance. Over time, Lorelai rose to the position of executive manager at the inn. When Rory got into Chilton Prep, Lorelai reconciled with her parents for financial support, leading to regular Friday dinners. Eventually, Lorelai and her friend Sookie bought the Dragonfly Inn, fulfilling a dream despite financial hurdles.

    Known for her wit, love of pop culture, and indulgence in coffee and shopping, Lorelai's romantic journey with Luke Danes spans the series. They face interference from Lorelai's parents and exes, leading to breakups and makeups. In the show's revival, after Richard's passing, Lorelai seeks self-discovery by briefly venturing on a trek inspired by Cheryl Strayed's book, "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail." On her trip, Lorelai decides to reconcile with Emily after several years of tension and returns to propose to Luke, culminating in their marriage on November 5, 2016, marking a significant milestone in their enduring relationship.
