"Jane the Virgin" fans can get to know more about cast member Justin Baldoni, who portrays hotel owner Rafael Solano in the CW comedy-drama series, in the November 2015 issue of BELLO Fashion magazine. Baldoni dishes on his work, married life, fatherhood and chemistry with "Jane the Virgin" co-star Gina Rodriguez in the BELLO interview.
Baldoni posted on Facebook in early November that he is "incredibly humbled" to be on the cover of BELLO mag. Baldoni further revealed that the fans will be treated to a little surprise inside the magazine because it will include the first photo shoot of his daughter Maiya Grace.
Baldoni told BELLO Fashion that having a family has been an incredible journey for him. The 31-year-old actor shared that fatherhood is the greatest thing that happened to him next to his wife, Swedish actress Emily Foxler.
Even though he is busy running a couple of companies, Baldoni revealed that his wife and daughter come everywhere with him as they possibly can. For Baldoni, quality time with his family is more important than anything because it is what keeps him going.
In the interview, Baldoni also revealed that he started the production company Wayfarer Entertainment about three years ago and he actually gave up his acting career to focus on it. Baldoni explained that he left acting at the time because he felt that he was "not being of service to the world as an actor."
In "Jane the Virgin" Season 2, Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez) is currently torn between Rafael, the biological father of baby Mateo, and her detective ex-fiancé Michael Cordero (Brett Dier). Baldoni shared to BELLO Fashion mag that he finds it interesting to be paired with Rodriguez in CW's crazy show because the two of them have a lot in common.
Baldoni recounted that there was an instant chemistry, but not a sexual chemistry, between him and Rodriguez when they met. Baldoni further explained that the chemistry they have was not necessarily about the acting but what they can do outside of their on-screen pairing.
In the next episode of "Jane the Virgin" Season 2, the synopsis on TVGuide teased that baby Mateo is going to celebrate his first Christmas but his parent, Jane and Rafael, will be at odds with each other regarding the holiday festivities. "Jane the Virgin" Season 2 will return with episode 8 titled "Chapter Thirty" on Monday night, Dec. 14, at 9/8c on the CW Network.
