Mariano is active as a model in the US and has been by Ventimiglia's side for several years. The couple has rarely made joint appearances in recent years, keeping their private life largely out of the public eye. By publishing the birth on Instagram, the two have now consciously chosen to share their family happiness with fans.

In Mariano's Instagram post, alongside a first photo of the newborn, there was also a personal dedication to her son. She provided no further details about the place of birth or circumstances. Ventimiglia himself also did not initially comment publicly on the birth.

Reactions on social media were overwhelmingly warm: numerous fans and companions of the actor congratulated the couple beneath the post. Many used the comment section to express their joy over the new addition to the family.

The timing of the birth – only around 18 months after their first daughter – also caused surprise among the fan community. Observers see the quick arrival of a second child as a conscious decision by the couple to move ahead rapidly with their family planning.

Ventimiglia celebrated his breakthrough as an international TV star around 25 years ago in "Gilmore Girls." He later made his name primarily through the role of family patriarch Jack Pearson in "This Is Us." He also appeared on the big screen in films such as "Rocky Balboa," "Grace of Monaco," and "Creed II."
