Actor Milo Ventimiglia is known for keeping his personal life private, but every now and then, bits and pieces emerge. Milo quietly wed Jarah Mariano in 2023, though their marriage didn’t become public until October of that year. In late September 2024, Jarah shared what appeared to be a heartfelt anniversary tribute to her husband and “best friend,” possibly hinting that they tied the knot around that same time the previous year.
Fast forward to October 2024, and Milo and Jarah are now expecting their first child. On Sept. 30, 2024, Jarah took to Instagram to share the exciting news with a post announcing that there’s a "baby on board."

Milo, 47, and Jarah, 39, shared the exciting news at the end of September 2024 that they are expecting their first child. Since the couple has kept much of their relationship out of the public eye, it’s unclear exactly how long they’ve been together.

Aloha wau iā 'oe, my husband Milo,' which translates to "I love you."
