Milo Ventimiglia is a private individual.

Good luck getting the Heroes star to talk about his love love. But in a recent interview with Men's Fitness, Ventimiglia did comment on his break-up with Gilmore Girls' actress Alexis Bledel:

"There's an emotion that goes with that, and it's reflected in you physically," he said. "I didn't really keep myself together as I should have. Once I got through that hardship and emotional hurt, I started wanting to take care of my body more and present myself as a better person."

It definitely worked, as co-stars and fans can attest to. Especially once they take a look at the picture below, courtesy of this magazine's photo shoot:
