The 'Jane the Virgin' star first sparked engagement rumors on her 34th birthday last week.
Gina Rodriguez is living on cloud nine.
The Jane the Virgin star has finally confirmed her engagement, a week after sparking rumors that her boyfriend, Joe LoCicero, had proposed.
"I have a very, very special man in my life. I am engaged," Rodriguez told Us Weekly on Tuesday. "It’s wonderful blessings like that that make me realize that if I have an opportunity to help someone else, I want to," she continued, explaining that she's "working days after my engagement" to help Always and Feeding America with donations of feminine products to underprivileged women.
"This is important. I have been very, very blessed, including being blessed with a very incredible man that understands that during my time of the month, I should be protected and cared for and loved and celebrated and he does that every single time, every single month," she continued. "It’s really great to be a part of the campaign that makes sure all women feel that way because I have a man in my house that makes me feel that way."
“I am marrying a feminist. I am marrying a man that is incredible and loving and understanding and kind and patient. I’m marrying a really incredible human being. That what it is. I met a human that, like, knows he’s a human," Rodriguez added.
The 34-year-old actress first showed off her engagement ring in a series of birthday posts on Instagram last week. The couple met on the set of Jane the Virgin in 2016, when LoCicero was cast as a stripper.
Rodriguez dished to ET last December about working -- and working out -- with LoCicero. Watch below.
