Gina Rodriguez<\/strong><\/a> and her husband, Joe LoCicero<\/strong>, first met on a 2016 episode of Jane the Virgin<\/em> \u2014 the show that shot her to stardom \u2014 but they didn\u2019t start dating until months later.<\/p>\n In a May 2017 interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan<\/em><\/a>, the actress noted that the New Jersey native didn\u2019t make a move right away. In fact, it wasn\u2019t until six months after their onset\u200b\u200b meet-cute that they ran into each other at a boxing gym.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you think he tracked you down?\u201d cohost Ryan Seacrest<\/strong><\/a> asked, to which the NYU alum joked, \u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly thereafter, in January 2017, the pair made their first red carpet appearance at that year\u2019s SAG Awards. Since then, LoCicero and Rodriguez have supported each other at numerous events, including when the I Want You Back<\/em> actress sat in the front row to watch her partner become the California State Middleweight amateur Muay Thai Champion in June 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n One month later, the couple raised eyebrows with a vacation snap<\/a> that showed off a large diamond sparkler on Rodriguez\u2019s left finger. In August 2018, the Awake<\/em> performer exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> that she was engaged.<\/p>\n
