Milo Ventimiglia and wife Jarah Mariano are set to welcome their second child.
Mariano took to Instagram on Saturday with a photo of herself hoisting their daughter Keāala Coral into the air while celebrating the infantās first birthday.
Mariano, 42, modeled a string bikini and a sunhat in the snapshot, showing off a growing baby bump while nuzzling her little one.
She stood in the water in a tropical locale, and covered Keāalaās face with a heart emoji.
āHappy 1 year baby girl,ā she wrote. āWhen you came into my life I had 2 distinct thoughts, one immediately after the other ā 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 youāre safe.ā
She added, āThis is the most unique love Iāve 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 Keāala Coral, forever x Mama.ā
Fans in the comments thread gushed over the news, with one writing, āWow congrats to you guys!!! How beautiful and special!ā and another adding, āShe will be a great big sisterā¤ļøā
The āThis is Usā starās announcement comes a year after the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue model announced the arrival of their first child in an emotional social media post ā shortly after losing their home in the devastating Palisades fire in Los Angeles.
āWelcome back Keāala Coral Ventimiglia š 1.23.25,ā the model wrote, alongside a pic of their babyās tiny feet.
She added, āJan 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.ā
Mariano wrote that she ātake[s] it as a gift that [she] was able to essentially do a practice run for what was inevitably to come. Iām also forever grateful 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.ā
She noted in the lengthy post that the family wasĀ ātogether, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters.ā
āGilmore Girlsā alum, 48, secretly married the model in September 2023, and the couple announced they were expecting their first child a year later.
āBaby on board!ā Mariano captioned a pair of photos of her baby bump as she sat on a surfboard.
