Before dating Jarah, Milo romanced former co-stars Alexis Bledel, 42, and 34-year-old Hayden Panettiere.

The lovebirds had a very secret ceremony with friends and family. The site shared black-and-white images of the beaming couple on their wedding day.

In the summer of 2022 he bought a home in Malibu and soon after he was seen with Jarah.

In December 2022 they were on the same horseback riding trip in the mountains as each posted about the getaway on social media. 

He later sparked a romance with Heroes costar Hayden Panettiere from 2007 to 2009.

Mariano is a 5ft8in 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 images to Instagram, but oddly has not posting much this year, perhaps because she has become Mrs Ventimiglia and wanted to keep the union as quiet as possible.
