The couple first sparked relationship rumours in 2022, and speculation grew after Ventimiglia was spotted wearing a wedding band in photos released by TMZ. Us Weekly later confirmed that the pair had exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and close friends. In a conversation with Entertainment Tonight in February 2024, the star of “This Is Us” described his immediate attraction to Mariano, saying, “When I saw my wife, I was always just like, ‘Oh no, she’s my wife.’ Right away, I just kind of knew.”
Their first child, Ke’ala Coral, arrived on January 23, 2025, just weeks after the couple experienced a traumatic event—the loss of their Malibu home in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Reflecting on the loss, Ventimiglia expressed the emotional toll it took on them. “You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and whatnot,” he said during a CBS Evening News interview. “My family and I are together, happy, healthy, and safe, which is truly all that matters.”
In July 2026, Mariano announced on Instagram that their family had grown with the arrival of their second child, Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia. Expressing her enthusiasm for their expanding family, she stated, “Welcome back home Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia. Can’t wait for all of the adventures ahead with our family of 5!” The couple’s public announcements showcase their profound joy in embracing parenthood amid life’s ups and downs.
Raised in Hawaii, Jarah Mariano moved to California with her family before eventually relocating to New York City for 15 years. In May 2021, she revealed her mixed heritage on Facebook, detailing her Korean roots through her mother and Hawaiian heritage from her father. She touched on the significance of her cultural identity, proclaiming pride in her heritage and the unique contributions it associates with her life.
Mariano’s career has seen her excel as both a model and actress. After earning a degree in speech communications from Pace University, she began working with notable brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, MAC, and Victoria’s Secret. She made her debut in the renowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2008 and has appeared in music videos and films, including roles in “Chuck” and “The Audition.” Furthermore, in 2021, she launched her own fragrance brand, H I N A + K ū, which also supports educational causes in Hawaii.
During interviews following their marriage, Ventimiglia has been vocal about how fatherhood deepened his bond with Mariano. He acknowledged the shared journey of joy and hardship that they experience as partners and parents. “You just got a partner that you’re gonna be there with, you’re gonna work with, you’re gonna find the joy [with],” he shared. “And when pain hits you guys, you got to get through it together.”
Mariano also expressed deep appreciation for her relationship with Ventimiglia, recently sharing on Instagram that marrying him was a highlight in her life. “Last year I married my best friend. There aren’t enough words that exist to describe all the special qualities that make him who he is,” she posted, underlining the happiness and gratitude they share for the life they built together.
As they look forward to the future, the couple appears committed to nurturing their family while confronting the challenges that life may present. Their journey reflects a testament to resilience and the power of love amid adversity, marking the beginning of exciting new adventures for the Ventimiglia family.
