AceShowbiz - It's a girl! Milo Ventimiglia and his wife, Jarah Mariano, have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia. The couple announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing that their baby was born on January 23.
The announcement comes amidst a challenging period for the couple, who recently lost their home in the devastating California wildfires. "Houseless, never homeless. Welcome back Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia 🌈 1.23.25," Mariano wrote on Instagram, acknowledging the difficult circumstances surrounding their daughter's arrival.
"Jan 7th my family & I evacuated from the Palisades Fire. We lost our home that we were living in & everything we own, as well as our home under construction that we were about to move into. I was 38 weeks pregnant & I had done an evacuation only a few weeks prior during the Franklin Fire as well," she shared.
Despite the devastating loss, Mariano kept positive outlook as she felt grateful for her family's safety. "This will be an extended process of rebuilding and grieving for many, but we are feeling optimistic & inspired to welcome all of the exciting newness of our fresh start!" she wrote.
The couple tied the knot in secret in 2023 and have kept their relationship relatively private. They did not confirm their marriage until September 2024, and a few days later, she announced her pregnancy with a series of surfing photos showcasing her growing baby bump.
Milo Ventimiglia is best known for his roles in "This Is Us," "Gilmore Girls," and "Heroes." He hasn't made any comment about his newborn, seemingly hinting at his desire to continue keeping his private life out of spotlight.
This sentiments were echoed by his wife who concluded her social media post with a heartfelt plea for privacy, "Please allow us this time & space to nest with our newborn in such a delicate phase. We already have everything we need in abundance & will be back around with updates in our own time."
