“They’re in New York now,” the actress told listeners. “Carlos, her baby daddy, is on Broadway in ‘Hadestown,’ which I feel happy to plug because he’s fantastic in it. Carlos Valdes.

“So they’re in New York for the next while, and then she got this job in Ireland,” Graham continued. “So she’s in Ireland with the baby.”

Graham gushed over the “really great” 35-year-old actor, who starred opposite Whitman, 36, in “Up Here” in 2023.

Reps for Graham, Whitman and Valdes have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The couple have not publicized their real-life romance.

In May 2024, Whitman announced she was expecting her first child without mentioning her child’s paternity.

She introduced her social media followers to Miles, writing, “From the moment we heard the first tiny sound out of his tiny piggy mouth we were besotted.

“He is the kindest, gentlest, smartest, funniest little beebee and he’s our best friend,” the new mom continued while comparing him to Heizer, his “namesake.”
