Who was Sookie's husband on "Gilmore Girls"?

Sookie's husband on "Gilmore Girls" is Jackson Belleville, a vegetable farmer played by Jackson Douglas.

Jackson first enters Sookie's life as a produce supplier for the Independence Inn, where she works as chef. Their relationship grows through flirtation, disagreements, and shared enthusiasm for food and farming. Sookie and Jackson marry during the show's second season and become one of Stars Hollow's established couples.

Together, they have children including Davey and Martha, with Sookie pregnant with another child near the end of the original series. Jackson also briefly becomes involved in Stars Hollow politics when he is elected town selectman, though the responsibility quickly proves ill-suited to him.

A small naming detail can cause confusion: the character is sometimes identified as Jackson Melville early in the series, but his established name is Jackson Belleville. He returns as Sookie's husband in the 2016 revival, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."
