Jane from “Jane the Virgin” is going to have a baby!
Gina Rodriguez, who played the title character on the CW show, and her husband Joe LoCicero are expecting their first child together. She shared the news on Instagram on her 38th birthday, July 30.
“This birthday feels different,” the actress wrote along with a video montage of romantic moments between the couple, including a selfie of her holding a positive home pregnancy test.
A lot of famous people, like Viola Davis, Andy Grammer, and Edwin Hodge, who stars on “Good Sam,” where Rodriguez was a director, said nice things about the star.
Diana Maria Riva, who was in “Our Family Wedding” and “Kajillionaire” with the mom-to-be, Joseph Julian Soria, who was in “Enter the Dangerous Mind” and “Filly Brown” with her, Arielle Kebbel, who was on an episode of “The Talk” with her in 2018, and Derek Hough, who was on an episode of “Jane the Virgin” in 2016.
Rodriguez’s pregnancy announcement video is set to Calum Scott’s 2018 song “You Are The Reason” and includes the spoken quote, “Anyone can want you, but the love hits differently when someone actually values you.”
Even though her husband didn’t share the news of her pregnancy on his own Instagram, he did post a birthday message to his wife on the same day she did. “My heart goes with you wherever you go,” he wrote. “Happy Birthday, Goddess! @hereisgina”
“Me and the baby love you, papa,” Rodriguez said.
