Milo Ventimiglia and Jara Mariano become parents for the second time: rare name of the son and family photos

Milo Ventimiglia, star of the cult series "Gilmore Girls" and "This Is Us", and his wife, model Jara Mariano, have become parents again. The couple has officially confirmed the birth of their son and revealed his unusual name to the world for the first time.

Jara Mariano announced the happy news on her Instagram on July 6. In the post, she shared several touching family photos capturing the newborn's first days of life.

Unique name and family traditions

The boy was named Rock-Antony Maka'o Ventimiglia. This name became the first public confirmation of the new addition to the family, which the couple had kept secret for the past few weeks.

A special atmosphere was created in the post by a black-and-white photo showing the hands of the parents and their eldest daughter gently touching the tiny hand of the newborn. In another photo, Jara is holding the baby in the garden. In the background, Milo can be seen playing with their eldest daughter, Keala, while their dog, Duke, sits nearby with the family.

In the caption for the photos, the model described her emotions from the past few weeks:

"The last few weeks have been true chaos, but in the best sense of the word. Welcome home, Rock-Antony Maka'o Ventimiglia. I can't wait for all the adventures that await us in our family of five!"

The path to a big family

The love story of the actor and the model began with secrecy. For a long time, they kept their relationship hidden from the public, and it was only at the end of 2023 that they had a private wedding.

The birth of their first child, daughter Keala Coral, took place in January 2025. This event occurred against a dramatic backdrop: the couple was forced to evacuate their home in Los Angeles due to massive wildfires.

At the beginning of this year, when Keala celebrated her first birthday, the couple announced to fans that they were expecting their second child. Milo Ventimiglia, known for his roles in the series "Heroes" and "This Is Us", admitted in one of his recent interviews that he was eagerly awaiting the arrival of another baby in the family.
