Milo Ventimiglia and Wife Jarah Mariano Welcome First Baby
This is…a growing family.
Six months after This Is Us alum Milo Ventimiglia and wife Jarah Mariano confirmed her pregnancy, they announced the arrival of their second baby together July 6, a baby boy named Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia. The couple are also parents to daughter Ke'ala Coral, 16 months.
“These last couple of weeks have been chaos, but in the best possible way,” Mariano wrote in a July 6 Instagram post, alongside a photo of the family with their dog. “Welcome back home Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia. Can’t wait for all of the adventures ahead with our family of 5!”
In addition to the sweet family portrait, Mariano and Ventimiglia included a black and white photo of their son’s tiny little hands gripping on to theirs, as their daughter also reaches up to grasp one of them.
And while they’ve only recently grown their brood, Ventimiglia previously joked they were more than ready to live in chaos.
“Got a beautiful daughter, she’s wonderful," the Gilmore Girls alum said during a Feb. 5 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “What day is it? Thursday? Wonderful. It’s the same as Wednesday or Tuesday, yeah. They’re all the same. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday…”
But the 48-year-old—who previously had high profile romances with Alexis Bledel and Hayden Panettiere—assured that his tot was more than ready to move into the older sister duties, emphasizing she’s “actually doing great.”
“She loves to wake up at 5:40 in the morning and talk to herself, kinda jabber on and whatnot," Ventimiglia detailed, noting it used to cause concern for him and his wife. “And then you’re kind of like, after a certain period of time, you walk in there, you’re like, well, she didn’t poop herself, and she’s got her [pacifier], so the world’s good.”

Meanwhile, Ventimiglia abandoned hope he’d be a model parent after losing their home to the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires just before welcoming their daughter.
“I was striving to," he admitted. "I’m like, ‘Cool, man. I’m going to be the healthiest. We’re going to feed this baby organic. We’re going to buy blenders, do all this stuff. We’re going to go argue with some dude named Kale about blueberries at the farmers’ market.’ Then, after a while, you’re like, ‘Oh, man, we had quite a year.’”
Luckily, it’s all been manageable with his partner in crime.
"Jarah, if you’re watching, you are the most unbelievable human being, creature, species of everything,” Ventimiglia mused. “She handles everything great.”
