The Parenthood star disclosed the information during a podcast appearance with Dax Shepard, marking the first public confirmation of Valdes' role as Whitman’s co-parent.

Lauren Graham revealed on the Armchair Expert podcast that Carlos Valdes is the father of Mae Whitman’s son, Miles.
Whitman and Valdes previously played love interests in the Hulu series Up Here, and Valdes is currently starring on Broadway in Hadestown.
