“Some random thoughts on the first half of 2026. Being there, being grateful, just being there. Sending love to you all,” Mariano captioned the post.
Mariano and Ventimiglia welcomed Ke'ala in January 2025, two weeks after the couple's Malibu home was destroyed in the California wildfires. A year after Ke'ala was born, they announced that they were expecting their second child together.
