And just days later, the couple welcomed their newborn daughter, Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia.

Jarah shared the news with her followers by posting a photo with the paw of their pet dog resting next to the baby.

The stunning model penned told fans that their little one had been born on January 23, and little feet could be seen in shot, as well as a green outfit.

She wrote: “Houseless, never homeless

“Welcome back Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia 🌈 1.23.25.

“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. 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.

“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. “

Jarah continued: “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!

“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.

“Gentle reminder to all, to please allow us this time & space to nest with our newborn in such a delicate phase. We already have everything we need in abundance & will be back around with updates in our own time.”

“Sending you Aloha + Light always,
Jarah Milo Ke’a Duke”

Messages of congratulations flooded in for the happy couple, from friends and fans alike.

Milo’s wife Jarah was pregnant at the time they were evacuated from their home, during the fires.

 

The couple managed to grab what they could, but were unable to take everything, including the crib and other items in their baby’s nursery.

In the NBC drama This Is Us, Milo played Jack Pearson, who tragically died of smoke inhalation after his home burned down in a February 2018 episode.

The SAG winner reflected: “You know, it’s not lost on me, life imitating art.”

He previously recalled a particularly challenging moment from filming seven years ago, while speaking with Entertainment Weekly.

Milo said: “Your live effects crew that were in charge of it were so responsible, but still, when you’re staring at a seven-foot wall of flames, it’s hard not to be completely intimidated by the brutal, fierce fear of what that represents.”

But unlike his fictional counterpart Jack, Milo remains safe, with his priorities firmly in place.

He said: “We got good friends and we got good people we’re working with and we’ll make do. Wife and baby and dog, most important.”
