Jack Pearson is off the market again.  This is Us star Milo Ventimiglia is secretly married!  We first fell in love with Milo when he played Rory's love interest on Gilmore Girls and then again in the hit show Heroes. But nothing could have quite prepared us for the love we felt for Jack Pearson. When This Is Us premiered on NBC in 2016. We laughed and cried and cried more watching the love of the Pearson family, mostly led by their loving father Jack. Nothing could have shocked us quite like when he met his demise all because of a faulty (spoiler alert) crockpot. Luckily, the way the show was shot, we didn't have to spend too much time without Jack in our lives. After This is Us he went to start in The Company You Keep on ABC, which was so good, but unfortunately it was canceled after only one season.

This is the first marriage for Milo. He dated Gilmore Girls co-star Alexis Bledel from 2002 to July 2006. He also dated his Heroes co-star Hayden Panettiere from December 2007 to February 2009. Milo was rarely seen out with any romantic partners. He told PEOPLE in a recent interview, "I try and remain as anonymous and invisible as I can so it doesn’t take away from the experience of the men that I play."

Milo married Jarah Mariano in a secret ceremony earlier this year. Ventimiglia, 46, and Mariano, 38, were first linked last year but have never publicly confirmed their relationship. The couple was spotted watching a rugby match where Milo was seen wearing a gold wedding band in which his rep confirmed they are in fact married. No word on whether Rebecca, Randall, Kate, and Kevin were in attendance. Fun Fact: I had to stop watching This is Us because it made me cry so much that I couldn't handle sobbing every Tuesday. I did follow along with the series just so I knew what was happening with the characters. "First came me and Dad said gee. Then came me and Mom said wee. Then came me and we said that's THREE; BIG3...BIG3!"

Jason Kelce Reveals Amazing Surprise Guests On Eagles New Christmas Album

It was teased a few months ago, and it's finally happening. Jason Kelce reveals amazing surprise guests on the Eagles' new Christmas album. We were so excited last year when Jason announced his idea was becoming a reality. A real Christmas album with songs sung by our favorite Eagles players. Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, and Jordan Mailata are the three main players featured on last year's and this year's album, but if you listened to last year's album, you know they did a fun piece at the end with all the players basically reciting 'Twas The Night Before Christmas with a Philly twist. It was fun hearing Jalen Hurts because he can play football, but he sure can't sing.

A Philly Special Christmas Special will have 11 tracks, including a Jason Kelce original called "Santa's Night." Yes, an original, as in Jason Kelce wrote the song himself! How crazy that he had his idea to do this Christmas album last year, it was so successful that it ended up on the Billboard Charts, so he decided to not only do another album for this year but almost write an original Christmas song. AND THEN his brother Travis Kelce started dating Taylor Swift. I don't think Jason met Taylor yet, but imagine if he went to her for advice on songwriting!

The album will support initiatives from CHOP and the Children's Crisis Treatment Center, which is who the album supported last year. CHOP will put its share of the proceeds toward its Snowflake Station, a pop-up toy store that allows caregivers of sick kids to select presents at no cost, while CCTC will spend its funding on its annual toy drive.

The $75 vinyl of the new album and $125 vinyl of both holiday albums will be available for preorder starting on Friday, Nov. 3. Check out all the special guests who are featured on this year's album.

Some New Songs

Jordan Mailata is from Australia and it turns out they don't listen to the same songs as we do in America, including one of the most famous Christmas songs.  Not only did Jordan learn "The Christmas Song," but it sang it beautifully, not that we would have thought anything less.

A 'Today Show' Exclusive

Last year's album was so popular, that the new album has gotten quite the buzz, so much so, that Lane, Jason, and Jordan were featured on the Today Show with Sheinelle Jones.  Fun Fact, Sheinelle worked at Fox29 with Mike Jerrick for years before she went to the Today Show. Sheinelle did ask Jason if Taylor would be featured on the album.

War On Drugs

War On Drugs is a rock band from Philadelphia who have been instrumental in the creation and execution of both Christmas albums. Charlie Hall, the drummer from the band, is the main producer along with former Eagles player Connor Barwin.

Amos Lee

Amos Lee was raised in Kensington and moved to Cherry Hill when he was 11. He graduated from Cherry Hill High School East. He was also a second-grade teacher in Philly until his music career blew up. He even opened for B.B. King!

Patti LaBelle

Yes, the legend herself Patti LeBelle will be featured on the new album this year! We don't know exactly what she's singing, but we hear it's a duet with Jordan Mailata. It's so awesome that she agreed to do it, I wonder if made the boy's pie and her famous mac and cheese?

Travis Kelce

Jason and Travis revealed the news on the latest episode of their New Heights Podcast. Travis will be featured on the new album this year. How ironic that Travis is singing on a Christmas album, even before he started dating Taylor Swift. I wonder if he told her when they met. Hey, I have a record too. It looks like Jason and Travis have a song together, which is so cute.
