Milo Sebastian Sussman Is Ricki Lake's Firstborn - Facts about Him

Milo Sebastian Sussman is one of the two beloved sons of the acclaimed actress Ricki Lake. Alongside his brother, Owen Tyler Sussman, Milo shares a special place in their mom's heart, bringing joy and warmth to her life.

"Hairspray" actress Ricki Lake's Hollywood career is undoubtedly one of her incredible achievements, but her role as a devoted mother to her two beautiful children shines as her ultimate accomplishment.

Her boundless affection for her son has captured the hearts of many, and she takes immense pride in being the mother of Milo Sebastian and Owen Sussman. Among her two sons, it seems that Milo has begun to spark public curiosity.

Milo Often Appears on His Mom's Social Media

Born on March 22, 1997, Milo is the firstborn son of Ricki and illustrator Rob Sussman. Milo's parents tied the knot in 1994 but eventually divorced in 2004.

Despite the end of their marriage, Ricki remains a devoted parent. Recently, their eldest son celebrated his 26th birthday, and the TV star extended her warm wishes to him in a special manner.

On Instagram, Ricki shared two childhood photos and a current picture to commemorate the occasion. She expressed her deep love for having him as her child in her heartfelt caption. Her post read:

"Your entry into this world, my world has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I am endlessly proud of you. I love you."

Milo's graduation from Oberlin College in 2019 was a moment that made his mother incredibly proud. In another Instagram photo, Ricki beamed with pride as she held his graduation certificate.

Now in his twenties, Owen seems to prefer a more private life, just like his older brother.

As for Milo's future, it remains uncertain whether he will follow in his mother's footsteps in acting, but he appears interested in music. Valuing privacy, he prefers to keep things about himself under wraps, as evidenced by his private Instagram page.

Milo's Mom Found Solace on Social Media during Lockdown

Milo and his mom have developed a strong bond, and despite challenging times, his mom is there to create meaningful moments. In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Ricki turned to social media to send heartfelt birthday wishes to her son.

As travel was not feasible at the time, Ricki chose to reminisce by sharing old photos from their past trips to London and Venice, Italy. Despite the unexpected circumstances, she found gratitude in being isolated together.

Owen Is Milo's Only Sibling

Owen Tyler Sussman, born on June 18, 2001, is Milo's only younger brother, who also shares a love for music with him. Now in his twenties, Owen seems to prefer a more private life, just like his older brother.

Nevertheless, Owen occasionally makes appearances on his mother's social media. One noteworthy instance was when his mother paid a heartfelt tribute photo to him and Milo on Instagram for National Sons Day in 2022.

In the picture, Owen was 21, and Milo was 25, and both sat side by side with their beloved dog, Dolly Mama. Ricki expressed her admiration for her two sons and said she was "so very proud" of them and loved them "to the moon and back."

While Owen and Milo pursue their paths privately, their mom continues to live authentically, embracing her unique self. She has also found love again with her new husband, Ross Burningham.
