During an interview, Gina opened up about planning her own wedding to Joe the same time that Jane was planning hers to Rafael in the series.

“My husband made me promise that I wouldn’t waste all my tears on Jane’s wedding and I had to cry at our wedding also,” Gina joked. “So, what’s good is that I’m really good at doing that!”

Tonight’s the night – the night that we say goodbye to Jane The Virgin.

Star Gina Rodriguez took to Instagram to reflect on what the series has meant and has given to her.

“Jane the Virgin. Wow. We started shooting the first season of Jane in July 2014. A few days into shooting I turned 30 on set. Yesterday I turned 35. And today is the very last episodes, 99 and 100 airing of Jane The Virgin,” she wrote.

“Five years. Five years of love, laughter, growth, pain, surprises, deaths, new births and a shit ton of memories,” Gina continued. “To my warriors who have supported me from day one, Thank you. I am able to live out my dream career because of you and I will never stop making art to bring Joy and Laughter into your home/train ride/plane ride or classroom!”

She adds, “Art is my savior. Art is what makes me feel like I can fly. Thank you to Jennie for making me your Jane and to the incredible cast for becoming my family. I will always love you Jane. Hope you tune in tonight and enjoy our goodbye!”

Get excited for Gina Rodriguez‘s brand-new Disney+ series, Diary of a Female President!

The Jane the Virgin and Carmen Sandiego actress – who recently got married – will both executive produce and have a recurring role as the President of the United States, Deadline reports.

She’ll also direct the first episode.

Selenis Leyva and Michael Weaver will star along with young newcomers Tess Romero and Charlie Bushnell.

The series, “told from the narration of her diary, follows 12-year-old Cuban-American Elena (Romero) as she navigates the ups and downs of middle school and begins her journey to become the future president of the United States. Unabashed, semi-dweeby, ultra-observant and with a strong point of view, she walks through the world with purpose and confidence.”

Charlie will play Bobby, Elena’s “sweet-faced but mischievous older brother.” Selenis will play Gabi, their “intelligent and loving mom.” Michael will portray Sam, “a lawyer at Gabi’s firm who is in the beginnings of a relationship with her.”

Gina, meanwhile, will recur as the adult version of Elena, currently on the campaign trail.

“I established my production company as a vehicle to tell stories for and by the underrepresented,” Gina Rodriguez said. “Bringing this story to Disney+ is a dream come true not to mention hope for our future.”

The 10-episoide Diary of a Female President will premiere on Disney’s streaming service in 2020! Production is currently kicking off.

Gina Rodriguez steps out in a cute white look for an event during the 2019 Maui Film Festival in Wailea, Hawaii last week.

The 34-year-old Jane the Virgin actress was being honored at the week-long festival with the Navigator Award.

After the festivities, Gina was spotted hitting the beach in her cute two-piece suit with a gal pal for a little vacation time.

Just recently, Gina opened up in a new interview with NBC’s Kate Snow at The Kennedy Forum about how she stopped ignoring her mental health.

She revealed that she physically had to stop acting during the final season of filming Jane to work on her anxiety and depression.

“There was a point where I couldn’t…push through every single time anymore, and I’m one of those human beings…where they’re just like, I’ll handle it later. I’ll deal with it later. I’ll figure it out later,” she explained. “I just have to do this now. All the while you’re dealing with your silent little dragon in your head.”

Gina continues, “It came to a point, and this last season was the first season where I had to stop production. I had a really tumultuous season, and I was unafraid for the first time to be like, ‘I can’t.’”

Later on, she revealed that mental health will always be part of her platform.

“It has to be a part of the conversations I have with these young girls. I can’t just tell them to go out and make their dreams come true and then to ignore everything else.”
