Gina Rodriguez is taking a moment to reflect on her enduring friendship with Justin Baldoni, her former co-star from the hit CW series Jane the Virgin. It’s been five years since the show wrapped up, but the bond between these two actors has only grown stronger.
As Gina takes on her new role as co-host of the ABC game show Lucky 13, she’s been reminiscing about her time on Jane the Virgin and the relationships that blossomed on set. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Gina opened up about how close she still is with Justin and their fellow co-star, Brett Dier.
“I would love Justin to come [on the show],” Gina shared, expressing her desire to have her old friend join her on Lucky 13. “Justin would definitely come. Justin is super busy. But Justin is also one of my closest friends, and we talk all the time. I could get him to come on the show.”
Their friendship goes beyond just casual check-ins. Justin and Gina share a deep connection that was solidified during their time working together on Jane the Virgin. In fact, Justin played a significant role in one of the most important days of Gina’s life—he officiated her wedding in 2019. This act alone speaks volumes about the level of trust and affection they have for each other.
But it’s not just Justin that Gina holds dear from her time on the show. She also spoke fondly of Brett Dier, who played Michael on Jane the Virgin. “I would love Brett Dier to be on the show,” Gina said. “I would love Michael from Jane the Virgin to come on the show because he is probably my favorite human being. He is absolutely wonderful, bizarre, incredible, brilliant, and fascinating.”
It’s clear that the friendships Gina formed on Jane the Virgin have left a lasting impact on her. The show wasn’t just a job for her; it was a place where she built meaningful connections that continue to enrich her life.
Meanwhile, Justin Baldoni has been making headlines recently for his new movie It Ends With Us, a project that has been generating a lot of buzz. Despite his busy schedule, it’s evident that Justin and Gina make time to keep their friendship alive, something that is increasingly rare in the fast-paced world of Hollywood.
