Actress Gina Rodriguez has announced that she is pregnant with her first child, sharing the news with the world on her 38th birthday.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the Jane the Virgin star posted an adorable short video montage of herself and husband Joe LoCicero, 35.
Including a few instances of them kissing and on a date at a restaurant along to a musical soundtrack, Gina then ended the video on a quick video clip of her holding up a positive pregnancy test, teary eyed, with husband Joe behind her.
‘This birthday hits different ❤️’ she captioned the post.
Friends and followers rushed to offer their congratulations to the couple, with Gina’s Jane The Virgin co-star Jaime Camil commenting: ‘My heart is bursting for you two ❤️❤️’
‘Essooooooooo!!!! So happy for you two!!’ exclaimed Suits actress Gina Torres, with a string of heart and hands up emoji.

Joe and Gina met on the set of her hit telenovela-themed comedy in 2016 when he made an appearance as a stripper.
The actor, model and MMA fighter tied the knot with the Golden Globe winning actress on May 4, 2019.
Her Jane The Virgin leading man, Justin Baldoni, who played Gina’s character Jane’s love interest Rafael, sang her down the aisle for their special day.
Gina gushed over her love for Joe in the run up to their big day, even thanking an ex for dumping her and allowing her to find someone that ‘made her truly happy’.
‘I never was the girl that dreamt about my wedding,’ she told Associated Press about her engagement.
‘I did always pray that I would meet a really cool partner, whether it was going to be male or female, that I was going to have somebody that was going to uplift me and support me and want me to shine and not want to take away from that, but want to shine as well in their own right.’
‘I found it in Joe, and I found it on the set of Jane,’ she added.
