Noah Wyle is experiencing a well-deserved resurgence thanks to The Pitt.

A whopping 30 years after fans fell in love with his character Dr. John Carter on ER, which he bid farewell to in 2005, fans have fallen in love with him all over again as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch.

Since it premiered back in January, the HBO medical drama, which depicts the lives of ER doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in a hospital in Pittsburg, each hour episode representing an hour of their chaos-filled 15-hour shift, has become an instant hit.

The show also features Fiona Dourif, Tracy Ifeachor, Taylor Dearden, Gerran Howell, Isa Briones, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Shabana Azeez, and Supriya Ganesh, among others, and though the 15th and final episode of its first season will air next week, season two is already in the works, and is expected to premiere within a year of the finale.

But when Noah isn't busy at the hospital having everyone easily believe he is a real trauma doctor, what's he up to? Learn all about his personal life below.

Noah, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, and his mother Marjorie was a registered orthopedic head nurse, first tied the knot in 2000 with make-up artist Tracy Warbin, who he met on the set of The Myth of Fingerprints.

They had two children, a son and a daughter, but ultimately separated in 2009 and divorced in 2010.

She has had a slew of small guest roles since then, most recently in 2021's Leverage: Redemption, a TV series on Prime that Noah also starred in, for 31 episodes.

One year to the month after marrying Sara, the couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Frances Harper Wyle.

Sara appears to have a close bond with her stepchildren, and has previously shared heartwarming birthday tributes to them on Instagram. When Auden had her milestone 16th birthday in 2021, she shared a photo of the two and wrote: "This gorgeous creature is 16 today. What an exceptional human you are. I love you my darling. Happy Birthday," and when Owen had his milestone 21st birthday in 2023, she wrote: "Happy Birthday @owenwyle I'm so proud of the man that you are. May this be your best year yet."
