Rodriguez and LoCicero, 38, who welcomed son Charlie in 2023, smiled as they cradled the 'Will Trent' star's stomach.
The couple's news comes six years after they tied the knot in 2019. Rodriguez and LoCicero first met in 2016 when the actor played a stripper during season two of 'Jane the Virgin.'
However, the two didn't get together until after their initial episode.

'It was the boxing gym that brought [us] together,' the CW star said while on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' in 2019.
Turns out, when Rodriguez and LoCicero met a second time, she didn't even recognize him.
'He came in through the door and I was like, 'Good God!' and I fell into his eyeballs,' she gushed to Bust Magazine in 2017. 'On the fourth day [that we saw each other at the gym], he asked me out, and I have been dating him ever since. Now I know what it means to date your best friend.'

Both stars have kept their romance largely private over the years.
While talking to Cosmopolitan in 2019, Rodriguez opened up about what makes their relationship different.
She admitted that dating the 'Bold and the Beautiful' actor was a 'new experience for me because I put myself first.'

'For so long, I put every man in front of me,' Rodriguez explained. 'As a successful woman, it's so hard because of our cultural norms that, like, the man has to be the breadwinner! And the man has to be the more powerful one. It was so difficult for me to find a man who didn't want me to dim my light for his ego.'
In 2022, LoCicero sweetly celebrated the news of becoming a father for the first time.
'The love of my life is now carrying the new love of my life inside of her!' he captioned an Instagram video of spiritual guru Sadhguru talking about kids. 'I am exploding with joy every minute of the day. I could not be more excited for this incredible responsibility! #pregnant.'

On his first Father's Day, Rodriguez praised her partner-in-crime.
'I knew it when I met you that I found a man like no other,' she penned on Instagram beneath a series of family photos. 'When I walked down the aisle and you cried tears of joy, I knew I found someone extra special. I knew a great man would make a great dad.'
The 'Not Dead Yet' alum has also shared glimpses of Charlie in small doses since his birth.

'I wanna post everything about him but I limit it,' Rodriguez confessed to 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.'
'His communication is unbelievable,' she said about her toddler, 'and I'm so grateful for it because he communicates what he wants, what he needs, his boundaries—he's teaching me boundaries!'

Too Much Netflix ending explained: Do Jessica and Felix end up together?
For all the lies, betrayals, family secrets, good friends and horrible people that Jessica and Felix experience in Too Much, the sexy and romantic new series from Lena Dunham on Netflix has a joyful, happy ending. What are the artistic choices and implications of the Too Much series one finale? Let's get into it! Warning: there are major spoilers ahead! Throughout the first season of Too Much, Jessica maintained a private Instagram where she recorded messages to her ex Zev's new girlfriend Wendy. There was lots of venting, crying, and real talk. In one video she accidentally set herself on fire. Towards the end of the series, she accidentally switched the entire account to public. All of a sudden, people including Wendy were watching and reposting her breakdown/healing journey. So embarrassing! However, as Rita Ora playing herself predicted in the penultimate episode, the whole ordeal was actually not a big deal. The internet forgot. Jessica was viral for a day or two, but it didn't affect her job or relationship in the long term. It did not ruin her life. As a matter of fact, Jessica's Instagram faux-pas was the push she needed to get some closure about how her previous relationship ended. But first, tragedy strikes. I am sorry to say that, yes, Jessica's dog Astrid dies in the Too Much series one finale. It's not an easy watch. It leads to another fight between Jessica and Felix. They were already broken up and then experienced something traumatic from different angles. Astrid was Jessica's best friend, but Felix was there when she died. It's so awful. In the final episode, as she's folding up Astrid's clothes, she gets a simple text from an unknown number that changes everything: "Hey. It's Wendy. I'm in London for work. Let's meet?" Even though the conversation hasn't happened yet, it's like a weight lifts off of Jessica. She just knows she's finally going to able to let Zev go. In a fantasy sequence, she floats back to New York and Taylor Swift's "Bigger Than The Whole Sky" plays. She sees Zev, alone in his bed reading, and says goodbye to him. A whole range emotions cross her face, from calm content to grief. She meets Wendy at a cafe and they have a very real and uneasy but ultimately healing talk. Wendy asks if Zev was lying to her when he told her he and Jessica had been separated for six whole months when they first started dating. Jessica confirms her suspicion. They laugh together. The apologise to each other. They compliment each other. At the very end of the episode, Wendy sends back the shirt she inadvertently stole and wishes her well. They sure did! In true romantic comedy fashion, Jessica rushes to meet Felix at an environmental protest. She tells him that she forgives him for cheating on her with the older woman. (To be fair, she hooked up with Andrew Scott's character in a previous episode. They're not perfect people!) She gives him a grand romantic speech. They're both pretty quick to acknowledge that they self-sabotaged their way out of a relationship that they both wanted. Jessica gets arrested, and Felix proposes! That, too, was quick. Is it a good idea that these two get married so impulsively? Thats a problem for series two. Guess not. She tells Felix that she's planning to, but the wedding appears to be in London. All of Jessica and Felix's real friends and family are there. Hannah and Elijah Nora and James are back together. Polly's coping. Kim and her coworker/love interest make up. Jess wears the tee shirt over her wedding dress. (In one final fantasy sequence, Jessica and Felix appear wearing costumes identical to the ones Kate Winslet and Alan Rickman wore in the wedding scene at the end of Sense and Sensibility.) All is well! There is a little artsy bit at the end where Dunham, who not only plays Jessica's sister Nora but directed most of the episodes, steps out of character and yells "cut." The scene then blends into a BTS montage that also serves as wedding footage. It's cute. It's meta. There's no need to overthink it. I think it just means they had fun making this show, and it shows!
