Not to be a Bieber about it but I too just gave birth to our son, Miles.

As of this moment, it is not known who the baby daddy of Mae Whitman’s newborn is as she has decided not to disclose the information.
However, when she first announced the pregnancy, there was speculation about Miles Heizer being the dad, even though Miles is openly gay.
One Reddit user asked if Miles was the ‘donor,’
Is anyone else wondering if Miles is the dad? The pics sort of imply it. I know he’s gay and they’re besties, it would be really cool if he was her donor and/or they were planning to be platonic coparents.

Another commenter replied, considering them to be ‘platonic soulmates.’
Thought the same. Their bond is obviously strong and for lack of a better word, they seem to be platonic soulmates.

However, these claims do not seem true, as Mae Whitman referred to Miles as ‘Uncle Miles.’
Furthermore, she penned her announcement using ‘We,’ implying she and her partner.
Nevertheless, Miles Heizer and Mae Whitman have been very close since they played on-screen siblings.
They have kept in touch since their show ended its six-season run back in 2015.
All in all, Mae Whitman has not revealed who her baby daddy is and fans will have to wait until Mae chooses to disclose her partner’s identity.
Understandably, a huge star would want to shield their relationship from the public eye and media scrutiny, which can sometimes put unnecessary pressure on personal lives.
