Jarah Mariano is an American model. She has modeled in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editions and for Victoria’s Secret.
She was born in Kauai, Hawaii, and moved to Mission Viejo, California, at a young age. She has stated:
My mom is of Korean descent, but born & raised in Hawai’i. My father’s from Hawai’i as well, his mother is Native Hawaiian & we don’t know who his father is. He was adopted by the Mariano family, which is where my last name comes from.
Some websites suggest that she has Chinese ancestry.

She’s married to actor Milo Ventimiglia and is expecting their first child. She looks more then half East Asian in my opinion. Her paternal grandmother likely isn’t full Hawaiian and her paternal grandfather is a mystery. Beautiful woman though.
thought she was half black like amerie
