    Gina Rodriguez , who plays Jane Villanueva in Jane the Virgin, was spotted having a good time with House of Lies actor Ben Schwartz at the Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero WBC championship fight at Staples Center, Los Angeles on Saturday evening, which confirmed initial reports that the two are officially dating.

    The actress, who won a 2015 Golden Globe award for her work in Jane the Virgin, and her new beau were all smiles in a photo taken during the match.

    “She’s so happy,” an insider told Us Weekly. “She thinks he is so great and all her friends love him.”

    Although Gina Rodriguez kept silent about her new love life during her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday, the actress shared her dream of having a baby.

    Rodriguez, 31, plays a new mother who got pregnant after a doctor artificially inseminated her by accident. The actress said she felt a strange connection with the baby on the set as soon as she cuddled it. “I feel like they bring the baby up to me on set and my ovaries are like, “Ahh! Come here, baby!’” Gina Rodriguez shared to Ellen.

    “It’s, like, perfect. As soon as one cries they take it away from me and the other one comes in. That’s what happens in real life, right? I could adopt, right? Yeah, I just might do that. I definitely want to adopt,” she continued.

    Schwartz, 34, currently stars in the hit political drama series House of Lies and also appeared in NBC’s Parks and Recreation as Jean-Ralphio. His new film The Intervention premiered at this year’s Sundance Festival’s dramatic competition.

    Gina Rodriguez previously dated Revenge actor Henri Esteve but broke up in 2015 after more than a year of dating.

    Gina Rodriguez has a new man in her life. The Jane the Virgin star is dating House of Lies actor Ben Schwartz. Schwartz is also known for his five-year stint on Parks and Recreation as Jean-Ralphio. He appeared in the 2014 film This is Where I Leave You.

    It was just this past September that Gina Rodriguez and Revenge star Henri Esteve called it quits after dating for over a year.

    “She’s so happy,” a source tells Us Weekly. “She thinks he is so great and all her friends love him.”

    Just a few days ago, Gina Rodriguez appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and chatted with Ellen about her desire to have a baby.

    “I feel like they bring the baby up to me [on set] and my ovaries are like, ‘Ahh! Come here, baby!’” she said. “It’s, like, perfect. As soon as one cries they take it away from me and the other one comes in. That’s what happens in real life, right?”

    “I could adopt, right? Yeah, I just might do that. I definitely want to adopt,” she said.

    Do you suppose Ben Schwartz knows about Gina Rodriguez’s desire to become a mom? Hopefully it won’t scare him off if he’s not yet on the same page.

    Even if he’s not, Rodriguez isn’t one to shy away from much of anything. On Monday she announced her new social media campaign called #MovementMondays to promote the work on Latinos on screen.

    “With all this Oscar talk and lack of diversity, I decided to start a movement and speak from the perspective of a Latina American who desires to see more Latinos on screen,” she wrote on several social media platforms. “There are 55 million Latinos in this country, and although we all come from various backgrounds, our unity can make a movie explode at the box office or a TV show [soar] to the highest viewers possible. The better these projects do financially, the more money they will spend on putting Latinos in blockbuster films, as leads in TV shows, etc.”

    “Right now there isn’t one Latino that can greenlight a movie. That means no studio will put their money behind a Latino face as a lead of a movie because they don’t believe we can make their money back. Let’s start making noise with where it matters most, where we put our dollars,” Gina Rodriguez added.

    Gina Rodriguez is nothing if not a completely motivated woman–and a motivator, too. Will Ben Schwartz be able to keep up with her?

    He’s likely very proud of the new woman in his life, as fans surely are, too.
