While millions of viewers watched Mae Whitman on Parenthood, she’s keeping her personal journey of being a mom much more private.
But a few months ago, fans learned a bit more about the man joining the actress in the trenches of parenting 9-month-old son Miles: Carlos Valdes. And it looks like he already has her mom’s approval. Basically.
“Carlos, her baby daddy, is on Broadway in Hadestown, which I feel happy to plug because he’s fantastic in it. Carlos Valdes,” Whitman’s onscreen mom Lauren Graham revealed on the March 10 episode of fellow Parenthood alum Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert. “He’s lovely. He’s really great.”
And it appears the family of three is figuring out the whole parenthood thing just fine.
“They’re in New York for the next while, and then she got this job in Ireland,” the Gilmore Girls star continued. “So, she’s in Ireland with the baby.”
Whitman—who starred alongside Valdes on the 2023 Hulu series Up Here—first announced she’d entered motherhood last summer.
“Not to be a Bieber about it but I too just gave birth to our son, Miles,” she wrote on Instagram Aug. 28, giving a nod to how Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber had recently welcomed baby boy Jack Blues. “From the moment we heard the first tiny sound out of his tiny piggy mouth we were besotted.”
