Washington DC [US], February 2 : Milo Ventimiglia and his wife, Jarah Mariano, have become parents for the first time. The couple welcomed their daughter, Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia, on January 23, according to People.
Jarah Mariano took to her Instagram account on Saturday to share the happy news with fans along with a picture of their newborn's tiny feet alongside their dog's paw.
Apart from the pictures, Marino added a long note reflecting on the challenges they faced in recent weeks due to the Los Angeles fires.
"Houseless, never homeless. Welcome back Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia 1.23.25. 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. I was 38 weeks pregnant & I had done an evacuation only a few weeks prior during the Franklin Fire as well," read her Instagram post.
In her long note, Mariano has shared that her family had to evacuate their home on January 7 due to the Palisades Fire. They lost both the house they were living in and the one they were about to move into. Despite this, she expressed gratitude for those who helped during the crisis.
"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. This 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!," she added.
Mariano thanked friends, family, her birthing team, and hospital staff for their support. She also requested privacy during this time.
"Your love & generosity means everything to us," she wrote. "Gentle reminder to all, to please allow us this time & space to nest with our newborn in such a delicate phase. We already have everything we need in abundance & will be back around with updates in our own time."
