Milo Ventimiglia’s family just got a little bit bigger!
The actor, 48, and his wife, Jarah Mariano, 42, welcomed their second baby together, Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia, the model announced on Instagram on Monday, July 6.
Mariano shared the exciting news alongside a sweet black-and-white photo showing her hand, Ventimiglia’s hand, and their 18-month-old daughter Ke’ala Coral’s hand all holding onto the newborn’s tiny fingers.
A second photo showed Mariano cradling baby Rock-Anthony in a backyard, while the This Is Us star played with Ke’ala, and their dog Duke sat in front of them.
“These last couple of weeks have been chaos, but in the best possible way. Welcome back home Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia,” Mariano captioned her post. “Can’t wait for all of the adventures ahead with our family of 5!”
The actor and his wife welcomed their first child, daughter Ke’ala Coral, in January 2025, shortly after Ventimiglia and Mariano were forced to evacuate from their home amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
When Ke’ala celebrated her first birthday earlier this year, the couple revealed that they were expecting their second baby together.

Alongside a photo of herself showcasing her baby bump in a bikini as she held the toddler in the ocean in Hawaii, she wrote, “Happy 1 year baby girl. When you came into my life I had 2 distinct thoughts, one immediately after the other – 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 you’re safe.”

“This is the most unique love I’ve ever experienced, just as unique of a soul you are,” she continued. “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.”
While Ventimiglia caught up with PEOPLE via Zoom last month, his beloved dog, Duke, appeared on camera. “That’s our 100-pound firstborn,” he joked.
“At this point, I’m completely outnumbered in the babies to wife to husband ratio,” he added.
At the time, the actor shared that he and Mariano were “very happy” to be expecting another baby any day. “I’m most excited for my daughter to have a sibling, someone to grow up with,” said Ventimiglia, who has two older sisters.

In an exclusive PEOPLE in 10 interview in February, the I Will Find You star opened up about how fatherhood has allowed him to bring more emotional depth to his acting performances.
“The well of understanding emotions and being able to convey them just bottoms out, and it’s infinite,” he said. “It’s a pretty wild experience being able to take that new fatherhood and new family and plug it into my work.”
