Milo Ventimiglia has offered glimpses into his love story with wife Jarah Mariano . The couple initially sparked romance rumors in 2022 but kept their relationship out of the spotlight. Us Weekly broke the news in October 2023 that Ventimiglia and Mariano secretly exchanged vows in a private wedding ceremony among family and close friends.

Since getting married, Ventimiglia has shared more details about his connection with Mariano . “When I saw my wife, I was always just like, ‘Oh no, she’s my wife,'” the actor recalled during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in February 2024. “Right away, I just kinda knew.

” Ventimiglia discussed how their connection only got better after their wedding, adding, “I think if anything, you know [that] you just got a partner that you’re gonna be there with, you’re gonna work with, you’re gonna find the joy [with]. And when pain hits you guys, you got to get through it together.” In September 2024, Mariano shared more photos from their nuptials on social media.

She followed that news up with an announcement that she was expecting the pair’s first baby . Ventimiglia previously spoke with Us about how playing a father on NBC’s hit series This Is Us made him start thinking about his future. “It doesn’t make me want to have a family any more than I think I’m built to want a strong family unit,” he shared in 2017.

“It will happen when it happens. I’m not out seeking it. It’s just kind of, I’m present in.
