Two years into dating, Rodriguez and Joe confirmed their engagement in August 2018, two months after the duo's engagement speculation surfaced after Gina sported a huge rock during her 34th birthday celebration. "I have a very, very special man in my life," the then-newly-engaged gushed. Rodriguez reveals, "I am engaged."  

A PDA-filled year after their engagement, Rodriguez and LoCicero tied the knots in a dreamy affair on May 4, 2019. "With that one kiss we got 100 new family members," Gina captions a sweet clip of her wedding. The Miss Bala actress adds, "Thank you to my mother in law for the wedding of my dreams. And the village that helped her. To my husband Joseph, I am yours forever."

Also an avid philanthropist, Rodriguez spearheaded the EndPeriodPoverty and Feeding America campaigns in 2018. During a conversation about her involvement in the philanthropic projects, Rodriguez provided insight into her relationship with Joe, who she revealed is a feminist.  

"I am marrying a feminist. I am marrying a man that is incredible and loving and understanding and kind and patient," Rodriguez said, adding, "It's really great to be apart the campaign that makes sure all women feel that way because I have a man in my house that makes me feel that way."
