Milo Ventimiglia is officially a married man!

The This Is Us star has announced that he has tied the knot with his partner, model Jarah Mariano.

Speaking to Us Weekly, Milo confirmed that he married Jarah earlier this year in a private ceremony.

Milo, who is also known for playing Jess Mariano in Gilmore Girls, did not confirm the date of the pair’s wedding, but added that their secret ceremony was attended by their closest family and friends.

In two photos obtained by the publication, the 46-year-old actor can be seen wearing a casual white linen shirt with matching trousers, looking happy and relaxed.

Meanwhile, Jarah was a stunning bride as she chose to don a simple, backless white dress with spaghetti straps.

In honour of the 38-year-old model’s native Hawaii, the newlyweds also incorporated beautiful flower garlands into their big day, with Jarah wearing one on her head and Milo placing one around his neck.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Jarah Mariano (@jarahm)

Milo was first romantically linked with Jarah last year, after they were spotted in California together several times. However, the couple never chose to confirm their relationship until now.

In previous interviews, the actor has spoken out about how he prefers to keep his life as private as possible, especially with the career he has.

Speaking to People in 2017, he noted: "I try to minimize myself so people can see the character and can really dive into the work. I try and remain as anonymous and invisible as I can so it doesn't take away from the experience of the men that I play. I don't know how interesting my life is any more than anyone else's."

During a conversation with Us Weekly in that same year, Milo also reflected if he wanted to start a family in the future.

“It will happen when it happens. I’m not out seeking it. It’s just kind of, I’m present in the space in my life that when it presents itself and it’s right, I’m sure it will work out,” he stated at the time.

Now, a few days on from his death, the remaining stars of Friends have come together to release a joint statement in honour of their late friend.

Last night, in a statement released to US publication People, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc penned: "We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family.”

The five stars went on to say: “There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss. In time we will say more, as and when we are able.”

“For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world,” the cast concluded.

Following the cast’s first official message regarding Matthew’s loss, many fans of the beloved sitcom have since been taking to social media to express their thoughts.

Dyson recently unveiled the Blue Blush edition across the Hair Care range for the 2023 gifting period. An electrifying Ultra Blue contrasts a pastel Blush Pink, finished in ultra-matte, marking an exploration of colour and material innovation by Dyson’s Colour, Materials and Finishes (CMF) designers and engineers.

Our colour palettes are engineered as carefully as our machines and in Hair Care, a bold testing ground for colour. Taking inspiration from some of our iconic Dyson colours, CMF designers engineered new hues, finishes and combinations to evolve and expand our colourway portfolio. The iconic Fuchsia pink marked our entry into Hair Care and has now been re-invented as a non-metallic lighter shade.

The Ultra-Blue was built on the intense hue of the lapis lazuli semi-precious stone and now refreshed, bringing a technical contrast to the beautiful Blush Pink. Complementing the colourway is an ultra-matte finish which was achieved through precision-applied satin paint topcoats, to offer a smooth soft touch texture and an easier grip for the user.

Dyson’s 2023 Blue Blush tools will soon be available from Dyson Demo Zones and Dyson.ie. Each machine is included as part of a gift set paired with a selection of accessories, including a matching case and hairbrushes. The Round brush creates volume and shape as you style, with round-tip bristles for scalp comfort and a weighted handle for balance. The Detangling comb is engineered with wide, polished teeth to glide easily through wet and dry hair, detangling with minimal friction.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

Engineered for all hair types, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is powerful and fast. The tool uses a fast but focused airflow, is engineered for balance in the hand, is quieter than others and intelligently controls the temperature to help protect hair from heat damage.

Unlike traditional hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer measures air temperature 40 times a second to regulate temperature output. Featuring Dyson’s intelligent heat control technology, the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer prevents extreme heat damage, to help protect hair’s shine.

The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer in Blue Blush is priced at €399.99.

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler

The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler has been re-engineered for faster, easier styling. It also features Dyson’s intelligent heat control technology, allowing users to achieve their desired style at a lower temperature, preventing hair from heat damage.

At the heart of the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler sits the Dyson digital motor, which helps create a phenomenon known as the Coanda effect. The motor generates power to create a high-speed jet of air that flows across the surface of the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler attachments. Due to differences in pressure, the air flow attaches itself to the surface, creating what’s known as the Coanda effect. Taking advantage of this principle, Dyson’s team of aerodynamicists created a way to style hair using this airflow combined with heat. The result, whether choosing to curl, wave, smooth or rough dry hair, creates a natural look with a sleek finish.

Each Dyson Airwrap multi-styler can be customised with a range of attachments to suit the user’s hair type, length and style.

The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler in Blue Blush is priced at €599.99.

Dyson Corrale Straightener

Suitable for all hair types, the Dyson Corrale straightener features pioneering flexing plate technology, engineered to apply heat and tension evenly across hair strands in each pass, reducing the reliance on heat.  Combined with Dyson’s 4-cell lithium-ion battery technology, the Dyson Corrale straightener delivers cord-free performance, making it the perfect tool for those who want to care for their hair by reducing heat damage without compromising on style. Cord-free freedom allows for styling from desk to dancefloor, ideal for the office party or touch ups enroute to festive family gatherings.

The Dyson Corrale straightener delivers three precise temperatures, using a platinum sensor that measures temperature 100 times a second. This technology communicates with a microprocessor which in turn controls the heating system to deliver precise, accurate heat.

The Dyson Corrale straightener in Blue Blush is priced at €449.

All products are available from Dyson Demo Zones and Dyson.ie.

If you got a pet last year, remember that this year is their first proper Halloween. With fireworks, trick or treating and bonfires in full swing this year, we must think of our little furry friends who struggle during spooky season.

Don't keep pets outdoors during Halloween and ensure that they have a safe, quiet place inside where they aren't frightened by all the noise and excitement and where they cannot escape through the constantly open door. A quiet, inner room where they can't hear much of the noise from fireworks and loud bangs can help. Putting a radio or television on in the room can also be effective. When children are coming to the door to trick and treat, cats can quickly slip out the front door, and dogs sometimes try to bite unsuspecting kids, thinking that they're intruders. For everyone's safety, it's best to keep animals inside a bedroom or family room, away from all the commotion. Try and make sure that the dog isn’t left alone if it’s distressed.

Dos

  • Do ensure that pets always have effective identification. The DSPCA recommends that you have your pet micro chipped and ensure that it is wearing a collar with identity tag if it escapes from the house. Any vet practice can arrange microchipping quickly and easily. If your pet is already microchipped check which database your pets’ details are registered on by visiting www.europetnet.com. You can check with the registered database to make sure that the animal is registered to you and that they are up to date. If you don’t have the microchip number on your vaccination card you can ask any vet to scan them.
  • Do educate others about looking out for pets and other animals at Halloween.
  • Do make sure that Rabbits and other caged animals are safely secured in a garage or outbuilding, away from the sight and sound of fireworks. As an alternative, the cage can be covered with thick fabric to muffle the sound, making sure there is sufficient ventilation. Horses should be securely stabled or moved to a different location during fireworks displays in the area.
  • Do keep pets away from Halloween decorations and tell children not to share any sweets and chocolate with their pets.
  • Do take a pet suspected of ingesting a harmful item or substance immediately to a veterinarian.
  • If you are worried about your pets talk to your Vet, they will be able to advise.

Don’ts

  • Do not dress animals up in costumes as many pets find this uncomfortable and stressful.
  • Do not take pets trick-or-treating. Dogs can become very distressed and confused by all the noise and activity with strange smells and loud bangs from fireworks.
  • Do not remove wooden pallets or large pieces of wood from hedges and gaps in fences – this is often put in the gaps to stop horses escaping onto roads.
  • Do not light bonfires or piles of wood that have been left to site for more than 24 hours as small animals such as hedgehogs may have set up home.
  • Do not let animals near bonfires candles or other flammable items.
  • Do not ignore animals in need. Report animal abuse and neglect immediately to the Garda or contact the DSPCA at 01-4994700.
