Former child actress Mae Whitman just gave birth to a baby boy on August 28, 2024, after announcing her pregnancy on Mother’s Day a while ago without revealing who the baby’s father or her partner is.
Announcing on Instagram, she wrote, “Not to be a Bieber about it but I too just gave birth to our son. From the moment we heard the first tiny sound out of his piggy mouth we were besotted. He is the kindest, gentlest, smartest, funniest little beebee and he’s our best friend.“
Furthermore, Whitman has named her son after her Parenthood co-star and best friend, Miles Heizer.
While the environment is all happy and wholesome, we still can’t ignore the fact that the identity of the baby’s father remains unknown.
Although there is no confirmed news regarding Mae Whitman’s marriage or her relationship with anyone, some believe that she may secretly have a partner, as she used the word ‘We’ a lot in the caption of her announcement post.
Throughout her career, Mae Whitman appears to have had multiple relationships!
Born on June 9, 1988, in Los Angeles, California, USA, to parents Pat Musick and Jeffrey Whitman, Mae Whitman began her venture into the entertainment industry as a voice actress for a commercial ad.
Her popularity increased after she appeared in famous series like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Arrested Development, and Parenthood.

Furthermore, she also dated singer and actor Landon Pigg from 2010 to 2014. They seem to have connected through their passion for music.
Whitman would talk about the experience in an interview with Glamour, saying, “Actually, my ex-boyfriend was on (Parenthood) for one year. He was my boyfriend then, and he came to the Luncheonette to record because he was a musician.“
Aside from her confirmed relationships, Whitman’s name has been attached to several other celebrities, such as her Parenthood co-star Peter Krause, which many debunked after finding out he was dating Lauren Graham, another co-star.
Furthermore, there were also talks that Whitman secretly had a fling with Haley Joel Osment, popular for his role in The Boys, in 2002. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation from any side.
