Milo Ventimiglia and his wife, Jarah Mariano, are set to welcome their first child together. The exciting announcement came on Sunday when Mariano shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring her growing baby bump. The 39-year-old surfer and former model captioned her post, “Baby on board!” while showcasing her vibrant Hawaiian surroundings.
Aloha and Anniversary Celebrations
The pregnancy revelation follows just six days after the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Mariano, born Jarah-Evelyn Makalapua Mariano, expressed her love for Ventimiglia, stating, “Last year I married my best friend.” In her touching message, she highlighted the special qualities of her husband, expressing gratitude for their life together. “Aloha wau iā ‘oe my husband Milo,” which translates to “I love you my husband Milo,” emphasized her deep affection.
Love at First Sight
Milo Ventimiglia, 47, and Jarah Mariano were first romantically linked in 2022. The actor shared that it was love at first sight when he met Mariano. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ventimiglia recalled, “When I saw my wife, I was always just like, ‘Oh no, she’s my wife.’” He reflected on the immediate connection they shared, noting that they would work through life’s joys and challenges together.
A Beautiful Union
Earlier this year, Ventimiglia described married life as “nice,” referring to Mariano as “inspirational.” He expressed a sense of completeness with her, stating that he felt he had found his match. Their wedding was an intimate affair, with Ventimiglia describing it as “quiet” and “beautiful.” He noted that only family and close friends attended the ceremony, which added to its charm.
Familiar Roots and Shared History
In a surprising twist, Ventimiglia revealed during a January appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that he and Mariano grew up in the same neighborhood in Orange County. Despite Mariano being born in Kauai, their shared history added a unique layer to their relationship.

Most recently, he starred as Master Sgt. John ‘Sugar’ Sweet in the action thriller “Land of Bad,” which garnered only $6.5 million at the global box office. Last year, Ventimiglia also took on the role of executive producer and star in ABC’s critically acclaimed drama “The Company You Keep,” where he portrayed a con man named Charlie Nicoletti.
