Milo Ventimiglia<\/strong> has offered glimpses into his love story with wife Jarah Mariano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The couple initially sparked romance rumors in 2022 but kept their relationship out of the spotlight. Us Weekly<\/em> broke the news in October 2023 that Ventimiglia and Mariano secretly exchanged vows in a private wedding ceremony among family and close friends.<\/p>\n

Since getting married, Ventimiglia has shared more details about his connection with Mariano.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I saw my wife, I was always just like, \u2018Oh no, she\u2019s my wife,’\u201d the actor recalled during an interview with Entertainment Tonight<\/em> in February 2024. \u201cRight away, I just kinda knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ventimiglia discussed how their connection only got better after their wedding, adding, \u201cI think if anything, you know [that] you just got a partner that you\u2019re gonna be there with, you\u2019re gonna work with, you\u2019re gonna find the joy [with]. And when pain hits you guys, you got to get through it together.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September 2024, Mariano shared more photos from their nuptials on social media. She followed that news up with an announcement that she was expecting the pair\u2019s first baby. Ventimiglia previously spoke with Us<\/em> about how playing a father on NBC\u2019s hit series This Is Us<\/em> made him start thinking about his future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make me want to have a family any more than I think I\u2019m built to want a strong family unit,\u201d he shared in 2017. \u201cIt will happen when it happens. I\u2019m not out seeking it. It\u2019s just kind of, I\u2019m present in the space in my life that when it presents itself and it\u2019s right, I\u2019m sure it will work out.\u201d<\/p>\n

January 2025<\/h2>\n

Ventimiglia and Mariano welcomed their first baby weeks after they lost their home in the Los Angeles wildfires.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouseless, never homeless. Welcome back Ke\u2019ala Coral Ventimiglia \ud83c\udf08 1.23.25,\u201d Mariano wrote via Instagram, announcing the arrival of her and Ventimiglia\u2019s daughter via Instagram. \u201cJan 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. I take it as a gift that I was able to essentially do a practice run for what was inevitably to come. I\u2019m also forever grateful that we were able to evacuate from the Palisades Fire in the daytime, when we could feel more prepared & not caught completely off guard in the middle of the night, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Mariano and Ventimiglia suffered a tragic loss, the model was grateful that her family was \u201ctogether, happy, healthy and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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!\u201d she continued. \u201cA special thank you to all of those who have supported my family & I in this time; friends, family, my birthing team, hospital staff, companies gifting, LA community and beyond. Your love & generosity means everything to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
