Los Angeles, CA – Fans of actress Mae Whitman can finally put their curiosity to rest as the father of her baby boy has been disclosed. Whitman, known for her roles in movies like “The Duff” and TV shows like “Good Girls,” welcomed her son, Miles, into the world in August 2024 without revealing the identity of the father.
During a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, Lauren Graham, who starred alongside Whitman in “Parenthood,” casually dropped the bombshell, sharing that Carlos Valdes is the father of Mae’s child. Valdes, known for his role as Cisco Ramon in “The Flash,” is currently performing on Broadway in the musical “Hadestown.”
The revelation of Valdes as the father came as a surprise to many, as Whitman and Valdes have previously worked together on the Hulu series “Up Here” in 2022. Despite playing love interests on screen, the nature of their relationship off-screen remains unclear. Whitman, who is now based in New York with Valdes, has been juggling motherhood with work, recently taking on a job in Ireland.
Graham and Shepard reminisced about their time working with Whitman on “Parenthood,” praising their close bond with the new mother. The trio’s former collaboration on the hit show has clearly left a lasting impression on all involved, with Shepard expressing his eagerness to meet baby Miles in person.
For fans of “Parenthood,” the connection between Whitman’s son’s name and the beloved TV series is an added touch of sweetness to the story. As Whitman adjusts to life as a new mom, her fans eagerly await updates on her journey as she balances her career, motherhood, and her newfound chapter with Valdes.
