Milo Ventimiglia has announced the arrival of his second child with wife Jarah Mariano.
The This Is Us star, 48, and his model wife, 42, revealed they had welcomed a son in a sweet Instagram post showing the new family with their two children and dog.
Mariano wrote, ‘These last couple of weeks have been chaos, but in the best possible way.
‘Welcome back home Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia. Can’t wait for all of the adventures ahead with our family of 5!’
The couple announced the pregnancy in January.
They are already parents to daughter Ke’ala Coral, who was born in January 2025 – just two weeks after the couple lost their Los Angeles home in the devastating wildfires.

At the time, Mariano – who tied the knot with the actor in 2023 – uploaded a photo to her main Instagram of their newborn’s tiny feet, as well as their dog’s small paw.
‘Houseless, never homeless Welcome back Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia 1.23.25,’ she began in the moving caption.
‘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.’
Mariano shared that she had been ’38 weeks pregnant’ and ‘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.’
She then expressed her gratitude ‘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.’
Mariano then told her followers, ‘My family & I are together, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters.’
‘We are deeply grateful to all of the heroes who help battle fires, as well as care for everyone affected by the aftermath for years to come.’

In September 2024, the model excitedly announced that the pair were expecting their first child together.
At the time, she uploaded a photo of herself as she cradled her growing baby bump while sitting on a paddle board in the ocean in Hawaii.
Jarah – who donned a bikini as well as a purple orchid lei – penned in the caption of the post: ‘Baby on board!’
Only weeks before Mariano and Milo welcomed baby number one, the pair lost their home in Malibu due to the deadly wildfires that scorched thousands of acres throughout Southern California.
A few days after the blazes started, Ventimiglia got choked up as he returned to the site of his residence – which no longer stood.
The This Is Us star visited the remains of the house where he and Jarah had been preparing to raise their baby.
He also spoke to CBS News about how he and wife watched their home burn down to the ground in horrifying security camera footage. Fortunately, he and his wife as well as their dog safely evacuated before it happened.
Ventimiglia got visibly emotional talking about their loss – which included the crib and ‘everything [that] was set up’ for the arrival of their first child together, per Extra.
Jarah shared that she had been ’38 weeks pregnant’ and ‘done an evacuation only a few weeks prior during the Franklin Fire as well’
About seeing their home burn down with their own eyes, he talked about how difficult it was for them to process.
‘I think there’s a shock moment where you go, this is real and this is happening. Then, at some point, you just turn it off. What good is it to continue watching?’
Eventually, while watching the live footage, he said: ‘We kind of accepted the loss.’
After the fire in the area was put out, he returned to the area two days later. He knew his house was gone but to stand there in person he said it felt ‘heavy.’
