Gina Rodriguez has been praised for her grounded portrayal of a 23-year-old pregnant virgin on the CW’s newest hit series, “Jane The Virgin.” But telenovela-like plot twists aside, the actress does have some real life inspiration for her celibate character.
Rodriguez, 30, and “Jane The Virgin” returned to the CW after a brief midseason break in January and, not to mention, a Golden Globe win for the Chicago-born star. While away from the set, the actress also took some time to chat with “The Real’s” Adrienne Bailon for Latina magazine’s March issue.

“I’m wearing this pregnancy suit every day and I’m loving it,” Rodriguez told the magazine. “Ideally, I want to get married first. Maybe I should be dating my boyfriend for more than a year? He’s younger than me, so we can wait. I have to give birth to my career first.”
