Beloved Actress Mae Whitman Stuns Fans with Pregnancy Announcement and Mystery Baby Daddy
Mae Whitman, who gained notoriety after her roles in The Duff and Good Girls, became a sensation after announcing her pregnancy. Despite this huge announcement, the details about her baby’s daddy are kept under wraps.
The American actress Mae was born on June 9, 1988, in California, USA, and attended Ribet Academy.
Starting her career as a child actor, she worked in the movies When A Man Loves A Woman (1994), One Fine Day (1996), Independence Day (1996), and Hope Floats (1998).
She gained recognition after working in the Fox Sitcom Arrested Department and the NBC drama series Parenthood.
Mae Whitman’s Relationships and Potential Co-parent Of Her Child
The actor announced her pregnancy on May 12, 2024. This came as a huge shock to fans, and she quickly garnered a lot of attention.
Soon, she became the headlines of many news portals due to her shocking pregnancy news on Mother’s Day.
She revealed her baby bump in an Instagram post, posing beside her co-stars from Parenthood, Lauren Graham and Miles Heizer, on May 13, 2024.
In this surprising moment, fans started wondering who she was in a relationship with, as Mae is notorious for keeping her personal life private.
Since the actress has not publicly appeared with any partners, fans have started speculating about her baby daddy.
About her dating history, Mae was in a brief relationship with Canadian actor Dov Tiefenbach in 2008.
Additionally, she was linked up with another child actor, Haley Joel Osment, in 2002, but this was never confirmed.
Then, from 2010 to 2014, she was in a four-year relationship with French Indie and pop singer-songwriter Landon Pigg. Since then, the actress seems to have been leading a single life.
Besides that, she also opened up about being pansexual via Twitter (now X) on August 16, 2021. This could create many possibilities as her parent could be of any gender.
Just taking a moment to say I am SO proud to be even a small part of a show like The Owl House. Being pansexual myself, I wish I had such incredible characters like Amity and Luz in my life when I was growing up. Queer representation is sososo important :,) keep it up world! #TOH pic.twitter.com/B3C71c24aN

It’s very rare in Hollywood to keep your life this private, but it’s nothing unheard of. Maybe she is concerned about the privacy of her potential partner. The identity of the baby’s biological father is still unknown.
Moreover, fans have speculated that Miles could be the father since she shared her pregnancy announcement alongside Lauren and Miles. Lauren played the role of Mae’s mother in the series, while Miles played her brother.
Mae and Miles became very close during the show’s filming and eventually became best friends. They even decided to become roommates despite having enough money to live alone.
Even though Miles is gay, it’s not impossible for best friends to co-parent. Similarly, they hypothesized about Mae’s child by using artificial insemination. But if it was true, they would have announced the pregnancy together.
Whether we will ever know about Mae’s romantic partner, the father of her child, or who she is co-parenting with or not, Mae is having a great time becoming a mother.
She seems to be really enjoying her new journey toward motherhood, as evidenced in her Instagram post.
