Gina Rodriguez’s Boyfriend Keeps Her Grounded: He Says “No” to Me All the Time

“I think I’ve discovered the kind of woman that I want to be amidst this beautiful blessing — [it’s] craziness,” Rodriguez, 30, said. “I think in this industry we get to a point in our careers, which I definitely did not have before Jane, where people are willing to do a lot more and willing to say ‘yes’ when maybe they should be saying ‘no.’ And willing to turn the other cheek instead of saying, ‘That’s not very kind of you.'”

Rodriguez has dreamed of having a successful acting career since she was 10. But now that she has it, she tries extra hard to remember her roots.

“It’s very important to me to not only remember where I come from,” she added, “but where I will continue to go.”
