Gina Rodriguez and Joe LoCicero are expanding their family!
The Jane The Virgin alum revealed some exciting news on July 11: she and husband Joe LoCicero are expecting baby number two! The actress debuted her baby bump on the red carpet at Netflix’s Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3 fight at Madison Square Garden, glowing in a black floral gown that perfectly highlighted her growing belly.
After posing for solo photos, the 40-year-old was joined by LoCicero, who sweetly embraced her and rested a hand on her bump, beaming with joy. This new chapter comes just over two years after the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Charlie. Though they’ve kept much of their family life private, Rodriguez occasionally offers glimpses into motherhood.
“I wanna post everything about him but I limit it,” she told PEOPLE in January. “I know at some point I’m gonna have to stop because it’s his life, but I’m just so in love.”
The actress also opened up about Charlie’s blossoming personality. “His communication is unbelievable,” she shared. “And I’m so grateful for it because he communicates what he wants, what he needs, his boundaries—he’s teaching me boundaries!”
Rodriguez and LoCicero, who first met in 2016 when he hilariously played a stripper on Jane The Virgin, tied the knot in May 2019. From the start, they’ve valued keeping some parts of their relationship sacred, especially when it comes to personal milestones.
Back in 2018, when asked about their engagement, Rodriguez explained her decision to keep the proposal private. “That I’m gonna keep to myself, that I don’t think I’m gonna ever share that,” she told E! News. “Because there’s only so many things that you get to own when you become a public figure, because it’s the blessing and the curse of it, you know?”
She continued, “The blessing is that you get to do what you love every day and you have so many incredible people supporting you. But then the little curse is that nothing’s a secret anymore, you don’t get to hold anything to yourself. So I’m gonna hold that one for as long as I can.”
