Jan 26 2026

Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano are preparing to expand their family, as they announce the impending arrival of their second child.

On Saturday, Mariano celebrated their daughter Ke’ala Coral's first birthday by sharing a vibrant photo on Instagram. In the image, she lifts Ke’ala into the air, radiating joy.

Wearing a stylish string bikini and a sunhat, Mariano proudly displayed her baby bump while embracing her daughter in a picturesque tropical setting. A heart emoji playfully obscured Ke’ala’s face.

“Happy 1 year baby girl,” Mariano expressed in her post. “When you came into my life I had 2 distinct thoughts, one immediately after the other – I would die for you in a heartbeat, but now I also have to live as long as I possibly can to be around to make sure you’re safe.”

Her heartfelt message continued, “This is the most unique love I’ve ever experienced, just as unique of a soul you are. In a world with so much fear and hatred, I know that you will bring your radiating light everywhere you go to make it a better and brighter place for those around you. I love you Ke’ala Coral, forever x Mama.”

Fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulations, one user exclaiming, “Wow congrats to you guys!!! How beautiful and special!” Another chimed in, “She will be a great big sister❤️.”

This announcement follows a poignant moment from last year when Mariano shared the arrival of their first child shortly after experiencing the loss of their home in the Palisades fire in Los Angeles.

“Welcome back Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia 🌈 1.23.25,” she wrote alongside an image of their newborn’s tiny feet. The emotional post detailed their evacuation from the fire just days before Ke’ala’s birth.

Mariano reflected on the challenges they faced, stating, “Jan 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.”

She expressed gratitude for being able to evacuate during the day, allowing them to prepare rather than being caught off guard at night. “Together, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters,” she concluded.

The “Gilmore Girls” star, now 48, married Mariano in secret in September 2023. Just a year later, they joyfully revealed they were expecting their first child.

“Baby on board!” Mariano captioned a pair of photos showcasing her baby bump while sitting on a surfboard.
