Pregnant Gina Rodriguez’ Husband Joe LoCicero Is Training To Become Her Doula

Gina Rodriguez didn’t have to go far to find a doula – because it’s her husband, Joe LoCicero!

The 38-year-old actress, who announced her pregnancy on her birthday, revealed in a new interview that Joe was currently in training to become a doula.

“I’m taking some hardcore prenatal classes, working on that pelvic floor,” Gina shared with Entertainment Tonight, adding that they have also been watching videos of live births in preparation. “My husband is training to be my doula. He’s really next level.”

She added that Joe is “a martial artist and so it’s basically, you know, he’s cornering the fight of my life. I wouldn’t call it a fight — I would say, it’s like … me climbing my Mount Everest and he’s gonna corner me for it.”

“He’s magical,” she says. “He’s definitely the better half, so I’m hoping that he’ll just go on in there and pull our baby out.”

If you missed it, Gina is set to lead a new ABC comedy series.
