Jane the Virgin creator reveals why Jane chose Rafael over Michael in season 5 By Sam Prance The entire Jane the Virgin fandom is divided over the huge season 5 decision... It's official. Jane the Virgin has chosen Rafael over Michael and now the creator has explained why. Gina Rodriguez and Joe LoCicero's wedding video will make Jane the Virgin fans cry Ever since Jane the Virgin season 5 began, fans have been divided over whether Jane should end up with Michael or Rafael. Over the course of the last few seasons, Jane and Rafael have fallen madly in love with each other. That being said, Michael literally was Jane's husband and him coming back from the dead complicated things. The past few episodes have been an emotional rollercoaster but, ultimately, Jane decided that Rafael was her true love. Why did Jane the Virgin choose Rafael over Michael? - Recap Jane the Virgin creator explains why Jane chooses Rafael over Michael in season 5. Picture: The CW After going to Montana with Michael, Jane realises that she's still in love with Rafael and that she and Michael have changed so much that they're no longer right for each other. Speaking to TV Guide about Jane's decision, Jane the Virgin creator and showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman explained: "I think there are different love interests and different people that are right for you at different times of your life." She added: "Jane really realises that these five years and the changes that have happened have changed her, and Rafael is who she wants to be with." However, there's a twist. After Jane tells Rafael how she really feels, he says he is unable to trust her anymore. Urman said: "Whether Rafael feels the same way is going to be up in the air, but that's where her heart is." Addressing everyone who was on Team Michael, Urman continued: "I don't think it takes away from what they had and how she did choose Michael and how he was right for her then. Obviously in the course of these five years he died, she grieved him, he lost his memory, then came back. I believe that Michael and Jane were soulmates at that moment in her life." Urman then revealed: "And now I believe that Rafael is who Jane wants at this moment in her life. I don't think he was right for her in Season 1. I think he's really changed, and that's what we've been trying to do as writers for the past five years, is incrementally move him to a different place where Jane's values and Rafael's values about what's important." Here's what the Jane the Virgin fandom think. Listen y’all got me fucked up. Why couldn’t Michael have just stayed dead so then what Jane and him had was real? They were so happy and the writers ruined their past relatiobship and for what?Jafael still could’ve had a happy ending w/o ruining Michael #JaneTheVirgin pic.twitter.com/UC9o7ari1w — 𝒟.

What did you think of Jane's decision?<doc-sep>These two have an on-and-off again relationship on-screen, but off-camera, these pals are always there for each other. Justin Baldoni officiated Gina Rodriguez's wedding, and his role in the ceremony will make Jane the Virgin fans so happy. On Monday, Rodriguez announced her marriage to Joe LoCicero, whom she wed in a secret ceremony over the weekend. The star posted a brief video of the celebration on Instagram, which included clips of Baldoni acting as officiant for the special day. As fans know, Baldoni plays Rafael on Jane the Virgin with whom Jane, played by Rodriguez, accidentally has a baby. In the series, Rafael and Jane are involved in a love triangle, and it's still unclear if the two characters will end up together at the end of the show. But given how long Baldoni and Rodriguez have been scene partners, it makes sense the actors have become close in real life. On Instagram, Rodriguez included a special thank you message for Baldoni in the wedding video's caption: "'With that one kiss we got 100 new family members' my 9 year old niece, Mia. Thank you to my mother in law for the wedding of my dreams. And the village that helped her! Special thank you to our soul brother @justinbaldoni and my new brother for singing me down the aisle Michael LoCicero @mikelosaurusrex." Jane the Virgin premiered in 2014, meaning Rodriguez and Baldoni have been working on the series together for five years. In May 2018, the CW revealed the fifth season would be the show's last, according to the New York Times. In September 2018, Rodriguez posted a selfie with Baldoni on Instagram, after filming the premiere of the final season. She wrote, "One down. Seventeen to go. Janes journey will never end with these beautiful friendships this show has given us. #DirectorJane #seasonpremiere." Baldoni also posted an emotional selfie on Instagram after the final table read, sharing how meaningful the friendships formed on the show were. He wrote, "Five years of cast table reads every week. This was the last one. Ends are always hard. We’ve grown up together. Been through massive life moments together. Through joy and pain. These are real friendships. Not 'show friendships'. It’s the end of an era but the beginning of so many incredible things." Leaving Jane the Virgin behind is clearly emotional for the tight-knit cast. On April 24, Rodriguez shared a heartfelt message for fans about the end of the series on Instagram. The star posted a behind-the-scenes picture with a bottle of champagne, writing: "And that’s a wrap on Jane. 100 episodes. Sending so much love to all the Jane Warriors who made our show thrive for all these years! We love you." The cast may be putting the popular series behind them, but Rodriguez and Baldoni surely have big plans for the future. They've also had a few recent career highlights: In April, Rodriguez appeared in Someone Great, a romantic comedy on Netflix. Meanwhile, Baldoni also made his directorial debut with Five Feet Apart in March. The fact that Baldoni was there for Rodriguez on her wedding day shows the friendship they forged on Jane the Virgin will last long after the series is over. And fans can definitely take comfort in that.<doc-sep>
Gina Rodriguez and Joe LoCicero's wedding video will make Jane the Virgin fans cry By Sam Prance Justin Baldoni, who plays Rafael, officiated the marriage between Gina and Joe... Gina Rodriguez just married her Jane the Virgin co-star Joe LoCicero and Justin Baldoni officiated the wedding. Gina and Joe tied the knot on Saturday (May 4) in an intimate ceremony with family and friends. Gina first met Joe on the set of Jane the Virgin. Joe played a stripper on the show, who Jane's mother, Xiomara, hired for Jane's bachelorette party. Jane wasn't impressed but Gina was, and the two stars soon began dating. The pair got engaged last year and over the weekend they got married. Now Gina has shared a video of their wedding starring the one and only Justin Baldoni. Watch Gina Rodriguez and Joe LoCicero's wedding video below. Gina Rodriguez just married her Jane the Virgin co-star Joe LoCicero and Justin Baldoni officiated the wedding - Video. Picture: Instagram: @hereisgina In the video, Gina can be seen walking down the isle with her parents in a stunning white dress. The camera then cuts to Joe who starts to cry as soon as he sees Gina. Our hearts. If that weren't enough, the video montage also includes Justin Baldoni (the one and only Rafael) officiating the wedding. Gina also shared clips of her and Joe's first dance, vows and family photos. In other words, it's as emotional as an episode of Jane the Virgin and we're obsessed. Sharing the video on Instagram, Gina wrote: "Thank you to my mother in law for the wedding of my dreams. And the village that helped her! Special thank you to our soul brother @justinbaldoni and to my new brother Michael @mikelosaurusrex for singing me down the aisle. Mike, you have the voice of an angel." Shen then ended the post by writing: "To my husband Joseph, I am yours forever." No. I'm not crying you are. Considering that Gina's fictional love life on Jane the Virgin is completely up in the air right now (are you team Michael, team Rafael or team the Jane the Virgin writers are monsters and this entire season is emotionally distressing), it's a relief to see that the romance gods are treating her well irl. Plus seeing her actually be such close friends with Justin is so pure and heartwarming. Congratulations Gina and Joe!
