Mae Whitman Welcomes Her First Baby, Names Him After THIS Parenthood Costar

As a dedicated follower and admirer of Mae Whitman‘s career, I must say that her recent transformation into motherhood is truly heartwarming. Her decision to name her son Miles, after her on-screen brother and best friend, Miles Heizer, from The Duff, is a testament to the deep bond they share and the lasting impact television can have on our lives.


Actress Mae Whitman has become a mother for the first time! She shared the exciting news through an adorable Instagram post featuring her newborn son’s little feet nestled on her finger, enjoying some fresh air outside.

Whitman announced that she had chosen her friend Miles Heizer’s name for her newborn son as a token of appreciation. On the screen, they played siblings Drew in the series, and their bond has stayed strong since the series concluded in 2015.

 

In her post, she mentioned, “I’m not trying to sound like Justin Bieber, but I too have welcomed our son, Miles into the world. He is incredibly kind, gentle, intelligent, and funny – much like his Uncle Miles. We are fortunate to call him our best friend.” She also expressed gratitude towards those who assisted her during this process.

The caption extended gratitude to those who assisted her during the process, saying, “Thank you to @kaiserbente, @carynfields, and everyone at @moxiebirth and @huntingtonhospital for navigating our family safely through all the unforeseen ups and downs…We adore you! We’re overjoyed!”

In May, the actress shared a series of pictures depicting her pregnancy journey during her stint on NBC’s show. Remarkably, her character on the same series, Amber Holt, was portrayed as pregnant during the sixth and concluding season.

In her latest update, she shared pictures showing her alongside her TV mom, Lauren Graham, and her TV sibling, Miles Heizer, during the period when her onscreen character was expecting. She playfully commented about how Mother’s Day had taken an unusual turn this year and expressed her eagerness for the arrival of her baby.

36-year-old actress launched her acting journey as a child star, becoming widely recognized for roles in movies such as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and The DUFF. Her recent appearance was on Hulu’s musical romantic comedy series Up Here, which premiered in 2023.
