'Jane the Virgin' Star Gina Rodriguez Dating Ben Schwartz: What's the Story?
It looks like Ben Schwartz is going to ask a certain Latina beauty to be his Valentine.
The "House of Lies" actor is said to be dating Gina Rodriguez. In case you don't know her, you should: she is the star of the TV Comedy "Jane the Virgin," earning her an award in the 2015 Golden Globes. More than that, Bustle noted that she is also an advocate for diversity in the entertainment business.
Schwartz, on the other hand, previously starred in "Parks and Recreation," and is a social media celebrity favorite for his dad jokes on Twitter. Speaking of Twitter, it has been noted that they follow each other on the micro-blogging site, which is of course, something that most Hollywood couples do.
Considering that they don't move around the same work circles (although they may run in the same social groups), there is no specific moment made immortal by tabloids as to when sparks flew, but there is evidence of the pair attending similar Hollywood parties and events over the years.
Just Jared mentioned that both actors were seen attending the Family Clinic's Silver Circle Gala at the Four Seasons hotel back in March 2015. They were also seen at the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" premiere after-party in December.
E! News noted, however, that the pair has already been seen around Los Angeles, where they recently attended a boxing match between Danny Garcia and Robert Guererro. A source for Us Weekly said "She's so happy. She thinks he is so great and all her friends love him."
Of course, considering that Rodriguez is still a relative newcomer in Hollywood, it was noted that work is still her major priority. While she is known for her role in "Jane the Virgin," she also recently launched "Movement Mondays," where she highlights the roles of Latino stars.
Speaking with Glamour magazine, she emphasized on disliking Hollywood labels, saying that "None of us wants to be defined anymore. We're human, dude. I feel like I was meant to do something -- and nothing about me, genetically, is gonna stop me from doing that." She also said that her character, Jane, feels the same way about stereotypes.
What do you think about these two TV stars getting together -- are you pro their relationship?
