Key Points
Mariano revealed the family endured evacuations during multiple Los Angeles wildfires, including the Palisades Fire, which forced them from their home and even affected a construction site; she described the experience as intense and disruptive, noting the evacuation occurred on January 7.
Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia was born in January 2025, roughly two weeks after the Palisades Fire evacuation and the loss of their home, highlighting the couple’s resilience in the wake of the fires.
Ventimiglia and Mariano quietly exchanged vows in a private ceremony in 2023, keeping their marriage out of the spotlight.
Their firstborn, Ke’ala Coral, was 18 months old by the time Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia arrived, a detail captured in Mariano’s Instagram posts accompanying the birth announcement.
Milo Ventimiglia and his wife Jarah Mariano have welcomed their second child, a son named Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia, born in June 2026. Mariano announced the news on Instagram on July 6, sharing the family's first photo with the newborn, Geo.tv reported.
The arrival makes the Ventimiglia household a family of five — counting their daughter Ke'ala Coral, born in January 2025, and their dog Duke. The couple quietly married in a private ceremony in 2023 and have largely kept their family life out of the spotlight.
Rock-Anthony Makoa Arrives Just 18 Months After First Child
Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia was born in January 2025. Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia arrived roughly 18 months later, in June 2026. Mariano noted that gap in her Instagram posts alongside the birth announcement, according to Daily Telegraph Australia.
The name Rock-Anthony Makoa stands out as distinctive. No public explanation of its meaning has been offered by the couple. Ventimiglia has described their partnership as an ongoing team effort, with both parents sharing moments from their new life on social media.
Palisades Fire Forced the Family From Their Malibu Home
The couple faced a major crisis just before their first child arrived. On January 7, 2025, the Palisades Fire swept through Los Angeles and forced them to evacuate their Malibu home. Mariano described the experience as intense and disruptive, The Mercury reported.
The fire also damaged a construction site connected to the family. Ke'ala Coral was born just two weeks after the evacuation, making her arrival even more remarkable given the chaos the couple had just endured. Their Malibu home was lost in the blaze.
A Private Couple Expanding Their Family After a Turbulent Year
Ventimiglia, best known for his role in the drama series "This Is Us," and Mariano wed in 2023 in a ceremony they kept entirely private. The couple has shared little about their romance publicly, The Chronicle noted.
Despite the hardships of the past year — evacuation, loss of their home, and two births in 18 months — the family has shared glimpses of their new life on social media. Mariano called the current period chaotic but joyful as the family settles in with their newest member, Courier Mail reported.
