Tiny Feet and Big News

Actress Mae Whitman, renowned for her role in Good Girls, has joyously announced the birth of her first child, a son named Miles. The 36-year-old star shared the delightful news on Instagram, featuring a touching photo of her newborn's tiny feet that captured the hearts of her followers.

In her Instagram post on August 28, Whitman humorously highlighted the serendipitous timing of her son's birth, noting that it coincided with the arrival of Hailey and Justin Bieber’s baby. In her heartfelt caption, she revealed that her son’s name is a tribute to her Parenthood co-star, Miles Heizer.

Whitman expressed deep gratitude towards everyone who supported her throughout the birthing process. She extended a special thank you to the medical team and those who showed her family “radical generosity and support,” saying, “We are infinitely grateful he chose us as his parents.”

While the identity of the baby's father and Whitman's current relationship status remain private, Miles Heizer expressed his joy over the name choice with a teary-eyed emoji.

The announcement was met with a wave of congratulatory messages from fans and friends. One comment resonated with many, stating, “’The moment a child is born, a mother is born…’ Mae, you are going to be one helluva mom… Sending you and yours all my love.”

Another fan reflected on Whitman’s journey, writing, “From the days of girl crushing hard watching you on Good Girls to seeing you post about being a mum is heartwarming! Congratulations to you x.”

A third message celebrated the new arrival with enthusiasm: “I’m so happy for you both sending you and your family so much love!!! Welcome to the world, Miles!!”

Since Parenthood concluded in 2015, Whitman has remained close with her former castmates. She reminisced about her Parenthood family in a nostalgic Instagram post in May, reflecting on her friendships with a fond memory: “Lord it was my best friend's birthday yesterday and nothing gives me more joy than celebrating her by eating rice krispies she made straight out of the pan with our bare hands.”

Whitman's announcement marks a new and exciting chapter in her life, one filled with joy and heartfelt connections.
