Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano exchanged vows secretly
Ventimiglia wanted to keep his dating life out of the limelight and gossip columns.
Over the years, the 'This is Us' star has had an impressive high profile romance, including Alexis Bledel, Hayden Panettiere, a brief romance with actress Jordana Brewster's sister, Isabella Brewster, and Kelly Egarian, a Stella McCartney brand marketing coordinator.
Ventimiglia was first spotted with Mariano in the summer of 2022 after the former bought a house in Malibu. The couple reportedly went together for a horseback riding trip to the mountain in December 2022.
However, the actor never revealed details about his dating life with Mariano. Even during the February episode of 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen', he restrained from telling anything about his love life after describing that he needs "honesty, authenticity, intellect" in a woman.
