Is Gilbert a father of Becky's children?

In the scene when Becky says goodbye to Gilbert she says "I was thinking about how if my boys turn out anything like you, … I was thinking about how that would be nice, for my boys to turn out like you…."
Did she imply that Gilbert fathered her boys?

I don't think so.

I don't know how old Gilbert is supposed to be in this movie, but I would guess like 22 or 23. He would hardly be old enough to be the father of those kids unless what's her name started sleeping with him when he was like 15.
