During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016, Gina admitted that she wants a baby “so bad”.
“But I don’t want the whole process, I just want one to arrive, like the stork conversation,” she joked. “I could adopt, right? Yeah, I just might do that. I definitely want to adopt.”
Referring to the twin babies she works with on Jane the Virgin, she said: “I feel like they bring the baby up to me and my ovaries are like ‘Ahh! Come here, baby!'”
Gina won a Golden Globe for her role as Jane Villanueva in the romantic comedy drama series in 2015.
She met Joe on the show’s set in 2016 after he appeared in a guest role as a stripper.
