Actor Milo Ventimiglia and wife Jarah Mariano have been given a ray of hope amid all the tragedy they experienced, having lost everything they own in the LA wildfires.
Mariano, who was 38 weeks pregnant when she had to evacuate, has given birth to the couple’s first baby.
Taking to Instagram, the model, 47, shared her feelings about the life update.
The photo she chose was of her newborn’s legs, which she is holding, with Ventimiglia holding onto their dog’s paw.
Accompanying the sweet photo she shared a lengthy caption.
“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.

“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,’ the model shared.
“My family & I are together, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters. We are deeply grateful to all of the heroes who help battle fires, as well as care for everyone affected by the aftermath for years to come.
“This will be an extended process of rebuilding and grieving for many, but we are feeling optimistic & inspired to welcome all of the exciting newness of our fresh start!”
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model made sure to share a “special thank you to all of those who have supported my family & I in this time; friends, family, my birthing team, hospital staff, companies gifting, LA community and beyond. Your love & generosity means everything to us.”
The couple were one of the first celebrities to speak out about losing their home in the fires, which devastated LA for weeks.
At the time, the This is Us star told CBS news, “You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and what not and then you see your neighbours’ houses and everything kind of around and your heart just breaks.”
