Actor Milo Ventimiglia is going to be a dad! The This Is Us star’s wife Jarah Mariano took to Instagram to share the couple’s news. The model shared images of her on a surfboard with her baby bump in view to announce her pregnancy.

In her maternity pictures, Jarah wore a brown bikini top and white with black polka dots bikini bottoms, as well as a lei, while holding her baby bump on a surfboard. The second image appears to show the Gilmore Girls star making a “shaka” hand sign in the foreground while Jarah made the same hand signal sitting on her surfboard looking up to the sun. The model captioned the post, “Baby on board!” Milo does not have an active Instagram account and did not share an update about Jarah’s pregnancy.

The Land of Bad star was first romantically linked to Jarah in 2022 but the couple didn’t confirm their relationship until they tied the knot. The couple privately tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2023, and news of their wedding broke that October. Earlier this week, Jarah celebrated her marriage by sharing images from her wedding and penning an emotional message about her husband. “Last year I married my best friend. 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 Aloha wau iā ‘oe my husband Milo.”

While Milo is notorious for keeping her personal life private, he did open up about having a family one day in a 2017 interview. The actor discussed his role on This Is Us, where he plays a father to three children, and spoke about his own family plans. “It doesn’t make me want to have a family any more than I think I’m built to want a strong family unit. It will happen when it happens. I’m not out seeking it. It’s just kind of, I’m present in the space in my life that when it presents itself and it’s right, I’m sure it will work out.”

Congratulations to Milo and Jarah on the news of their first baby!
