<p id=”par-1_85″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/hotels-packed-millionaires-palisades-fires-rage-want-california-local-says.html/”>The Los Angeles wildfires</a> continue to wreak havoc on the sprawling metropolis and its inhabitants. As fire crews attempt to extinguish multiple blazes across the city, people are sharing all that they have lost in the fires. Milo Ventimiglia, best known for his work in <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/gilmore-girls/?swcfpc=1″>Gilmore Girls</a></em> and <em>This is Us</em>, allowed a news crew to come along as he inspected the ruins of the home he and his wife, Jarah Mariano, planned to bring their baby home to. Mariano is apparently due any time.</p>

<p id=”par-2_53″>Milo Ventimiglia and his wife were enjoying the lead-up to the birth of their baby when the Los Angeles wildfires broke out. Ventimiglia and Mariano evacuated, but they couldn’t stay away for long. He returned to his property with <a target=”_blank” href=”https://x.com/CBSEveningNews/status/1877512742430499064″ rel=”noreferrer noopener”>CBS News</a> along for the ride. There, he inspected the ruins of his home.</p>

<p id=”par-3_79″>Ventimiglia told the news outlet that he and his wife had evacuated to stay with friends but watched as the fire crept closer to their home via security cameras. The famed actor said he and his wife watched as the fire overtook the structure but eventually turned off the video as it was too painful to watch. He knew the home was gone before pulling up to the curb, but the scale of destruction still seemed to surprise him.</p>
<p id=”par-4_66″>Ventimiglia choked up when speaking about what comes next for his family. The <em>This is Us</em> star noted that he and his wife, Jarah Mariano, had lovingly designed their child’s nursery in the weeks before the devastating fire. They had everything set up to bring home their new baby, a first for both, but now they are unsure what they’ll do and where they will go.</p>

<p id=”par-5_79″>Ventimiglia and Mariano are notoriously private about their personal life. Fans of the famed actor didn’t know he was even dating anyone until<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/milo-ventimiglias-secret-wedding-who-else-has-the-gilmore-girls-star-dated.html/”> he announced his marriage</a> in September 2023. Mariano, who happens to share a last name with Ventimiglia’s beloved <em>Gilmore Girls</em> character, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gilmore-girls-defense-jess-mariano.html/”>Jess Mariano</a>, announced her pregnancy in September 2024. She didn’t share their baby’s gender or due date in her announcement. Still, Ventimiglia is giving clues. He said his child could be born any day now.</p>

<p id=”par-6_42″>Ventimiglia is not the only A-lister who has lost their home to the Los Angeles wildfires. His <em>This is Us</em> costar, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/this-is-us-mandy-moore-called-rebecca-ultimate-guide.html/”>Mandy Moore</a>, had her home damaged in the blaze.
