Gina Rodriguez Welcomes First Child
Congratulations to the new mom!
Gina Rodriguez is now a mom of one!
The Jane the Virgin star, 38, and her husband, Joe LoCicero, have welcomed their first child, a representative for the actress confirmed to PopSugar.
The couple has yet to reveal any details surrounding the baby's name or sex.
Rodriguez took to her Instagram in Jan. to share a "bumpdate" with her followers.
"Just a few things I’ve been doing while 40 plus weeks pregnant. #notdeadyet #notUnpregnantYet #StopAskingMyDueDate Lets take some bets on what comes first, the tv show or the baby?!?!? Not Dead yet airs Feb 8th on @abcnetwork @notdeadyetabc," she wrote in the caption alongside moments of her showing off her growing baby bump.

Back in Feb., Rodriguez spoke with Parade–the day before their baby was due–where she opened up about hiding her pregnancy on her new ABC series, Not Dead Yet, in which she stars in and also serves as an executive producer.
"It's my first time experiencing this and [the producers have] been so loving and supportive of me accidentally getting pregnant right before the show started. Out of love, obviously. My husband and I were very excited about it, but it definitely wasn't planned, but he [pointing up to heaven] planned it," Rodriguez shared.
She continued: "[Executive producer/director] Dean Holland was always there to make me feel very comfortable about the experience because it was very new. He helped all the directors come up with very creative ways to cover the belly, whether it was costumes, or my cubicle, or a plant, or a refrigerator."
"But the greatest thing and I'll never forget it because each stage, I felt like, 'Oh, my God. It's so big. I can't imagine hiding it. How are we going to hide it now?' I look back on that baby bump, and I was, like, 'that was nothing. That was nothing.' I was so afraid. But I was, like, 'Oh, Dean, I'm not going to get smaller.' And he was, like, 'You are pregnant. You are a miracle. Just live in it, and we'll figure it out.' And they did," she concluded.
Congratulations to the new parents!
