This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia and his wife Jarah Mariano have welcomed their first child.
Mariano announced the happy news via Instagram, just weeks after she and Ventimiglia lost their home to the wildfires in Los Angeles.
"Houseless, never homeless," she captioned a photo holding their newborn daughter, named Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia, next to Ventimiglia holding their dog's paw in his hand.

"Jan 7th my family & I evacuated from the Palisades Fire. We lost our home that we were living in & everything we own, as well as our home under construction that we were about to move into," Mariano continued.
"I was 38 weeks pregnant & I had done an evacuation only a few weeks prior during the Franklin Fire as well. I take it as a gift that I was able to essentially do a practice run for what was inevitably to come.

"I’m also forever grateful that we were able to evacuate from the Palisades Fire in the daytime, when we could feel more prepared & not caught completely off guard in the middle of the night, for example."
The model went on to assure fans that she and her family are "together, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters."

Mariano concluded the message by thanking those who have supported her family during this difficult time, saying their "love & generosity means everything".
"Gentle reminder to all, to please allow us this time & space to nest with our newborn in such a delicate phase," she added. "We already have everything we need in abundance & will be back around with updates in our own time."
