Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia is the first child of actor Milo Ventimiglia and his wife, model and entrepreneur Jarah Mariano.[1][2][3] Born on January 23, 2025, she entered the world amid personal hardship, as her parents evacuated their Los Angeles home due to the Palisades Fire on January 7, losing both their current residence and a home under construction.[1][2][3] Mariano, who was 38 weeks pregnant, had previously evacuated during the Franklin Fire in December 2024, framing the earlier event as a "practice run."[1][3] Mariano announced Ke'ala's arrival on Instagram with a photo of the newborn's feet alongside the family dog's paw, captioning it "Houseless, never homeless. Welcome back Ke'ala Coral Ventimiglia 1.23.25" and expressing gratitude for support during the crisis.[1][2][3] The name "Ke'ala," meaning "the path" or "the way" in Hawaiian, reflects Mariano's Native Hawaiian and Korean heritage; she was born in Kauai, Hawaii, in 1984.[2] Ventimiglia and Mariano married secretly in Hawaii in September or October 2023, marking their first anniversary with shared photos.[1][3] As of January 2026, Ke'ala turned one year old, with Mariano posting a tribute on Instagram that included a bikini photo revealing the couple's expectation of a second child.[2] Ventimiglia emphasized family priorities post-fire, stating his "wife and baby and dog are most important."[3] Ke'ala's story gained media attention for blending joy with resilience amid wildfires, though she holds no independent roles or achievements beyond her family's public profile.[1][2][3]
