Last month, Milo appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where he responded to broken hearts with his life update.

He told host Andy Cohen that he was looking for “honesty, authenticity and intellect” in potential partners.
Milo also told Us Weekly in 2017 that he always wanted to have “a strong family unit.”
He added: “It will happen when it happens. I’m not looking for it. It’s just kind of, I’m present in the space in my life where I know for sure that when it comes and it makes sense, it’s going to work out.”

In the summer of 2022, he bought a house in Malibu and was spotted with Jarah shortly after.
In December 2022, they were on the same horseback riding trip in the mountains, all posting about the outing on social media.
He later sparked a romance with Heroes co-star Hayden Panettiere from 2007 to 2009.
Mariano is a 6 feet tall model from Hawaii.
Her full name is Jarah-Evelyn Makalapua Mariano.
The brunette beauty is best known for her appearances in the 2008 and 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editions, as well as Victoria’s Secret.
She often posted sexy bikini photos on Instagram, but strangely she hasn’t posted much this year, perhaps because she has become Mrs. Ventimiglia and wanted to keep the union as quiet as possible.
