Gina Rodriguez is a talented actress and executive producer who is best known for her roles in Jane the Virgin and Not Dead Yet. She recently announced that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Joe LoCicero, on her 38th birthday in July 2022. But how did she manage to balance her pregnancy and her work while filming the first season of Not Dead Yet? Here is what you need to know.
Gina Rodriguez faced unique challenges while filming Not Dead Yet while pregnant
According to Gina Rodriguez, the reason why she had a baby bump in the recently-aired episodes of Not Dead Yet is because they technically filmed some Home Town Season 6 episodes during Season 5, while she was pregnant. This means that her second child with Joe was on the way during the new episodes. She shared how they were able to hide her growing bump during the duration of the shoot, crediting the producers and directors for coming up with unique ways to pull it off. She wrote on Instagram:
It’s my first time experiencing this, doing this [while pregnant] and the [producers] have been so loving and supportive of me accidentally getting pregnant right before the show started — out of love, obviously.
She also told a confused fan on Instagram:
It’s all new, though we technically filmed it during season 5 and they held the episodes back so we could get a maternity leave.

Despite fans buzzing with excitement after a recent “Not Dead Yet” episode, Gina Rodriguez took to Instagram to clear the air and confirm that she is not pregnant. However, she also shared her happiness and gratitude for expanding her family with Joe LoCicero. She wrote:
Last spring, I put away the changing table supplies because I no longer had an infant. I put it away in the guest room closet and then I cried because I thought how lonesome Helen must feel up there in her crib beside an empty room every night.
She also added:
But now we have another little face to our home videos and photo albums. Just like Helen did, her little sister has made it easy to keep her secret by being tiny even now, and I’m deeply thankful that we’ve had almost 8 months of keeping this our news just for our family and close friends.
