Milo Ventimiglia’s wife, Jarah Mariano, is pregnant!
The model announced that the couple is expecting their first child on Instagram Sept. 29, sharing a photo of herself sitting on a surfboard and lightly cradling her growing baby bump.
“Baby on board!” she captioned the pics.
Ventimiglia and Mariano secretly wed last year before confirming their marriage in October 2023.
Her pregnancy announcement pictures were taken in Hawaii, where she was born. Mariano, a model, is also the founder of a fragrance brand and the nonprofit organization Makalapua Fund, which advocates for the Hawaii community. She fittingly shares the same last name as one of Ventimiglia’s most famous roles — Jess Mariano in “Gilmore Girls.”
Just days before sharing her pregnancy news, Mariano reflected on her wedding to Ventimiglia, calling him her “best friend.” It’s unclear when the couple first started dating, and they’ve kept most of their relationship private.
“Last year I married my best friend,” Mariano wrote on Instagram. “There aren’t enough words that exist to describe all the special qualities that make him who he is. AlI can say is that I am grateful for the life that we have together and the happiness that we have created.”
