More about Gina Rodriguez's relationship with her husband Joe LoCicero

Rodriguez and LoCicero first met on the sets of Jane the Virgin where LoCicero made a guest appearance as a stripper in Season 2. However, the two began dating only a few months later, when they ran into each other again at a gym.

In August 2018, Gina Rodriguez revealed to People Magazine that she had been engaged to LoCicero for a month. Fans had been speculating on the engagement ever since Rodriguez posted a picture from a vacation on Instagram which featured her wearing an engagement ring.

Admitting to keeping the engagement a secret, the actress said:

“I don’t even really want to say it’s happening…I just want to live!”

In an interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine, Rodriguez was candid about her relationship with LoCicero:

“There was this moment of, Oh, I’m going to be with you forever.”

The couple got married in May 2019 in a ceremony which was planned by Rodriguez’s mother-in-law.

In 2022, the actress announced her pregnancy through a video posted on Instagram. She gave birth to a son in 2023, and the couple named him Charlie Ray in honor of relatives who had died.

About Gina Rodriguez’s family life

Gina Rodriguez is open about her struggles with motherhood, most notably the “guilt” that she feels whenever she leaves her young son behind at home:

“If I go out for an hour to work out or to grab a taco, or to just read, I feel so much guilt because I miss my little man so much.”

Recognizing her own mother’s experience, she said:

“I look at my mom and I'm like, 'Wow. I never understood.' I really never understood how incredibly generous she was of her time and how much I'm sure she would've needed just an hour to herself, and how much I would've loved to have given her that.”

Rodriguez’s mother raised a strong bunch of women. Rodriguez’s older sister, Ivelisse Rodriguez Simon is an investment banker who helped put Gina herself through college. The eldest Rodriguez sister, Rebecca, is a Chief Medical Officer at a California health center. Their father made it imperative that the Rodriguez children receive the support necessary for them to succeed in life. The motto, “I can, and I will,” was abundantly practiced in their household.

Presently, Gina Rodriguez and Joe LoCicero live in Oregon with their son. They have another home in California, but for now, Rodriguez seems to have found contentment outside Hollywood.
