Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez gives birth to first child as she's seen with newborn

Gina Rodriguez has given birth to her first child and been pictured walking with a newborn in Los Angeles.

It is the first child for the Jane the Virgin star and her actor and writer husband Joe Locicero.

The 38-year-old actress was spotted going for a stroll with a baby strapped to her chest on Saturday afternoon.

Proving motherhood suits her, she looked relaxed in black jogging bottoms, a black T-shirt and Nike trainers.

Going make-up free, the new mum scrapped her hair back in a ponytail and wore glasses as she cuddled her little one.

Neither Gina or Joe have formerly announced the birth of their baby or revealed the tot’s sex or name.

The Mirror has reached out to Gina’s reps for further comment.

The actress dropped the bombshell in a short Instagram video, which also featured her husband Joe.

A montage of the couple sharing tender moments over a bed of soft romantic music ends with them holding up a positive pregnancy test.

Sharing the video with her 4.3 million followers, Gina captioned the post: "This birthday hits different” followed by heart emojis.

Gina and Joe's famous friends were quick to congratulate the couple on their news.

Her Jane the Virgin co-star Jaime Camil wrote: "My heart is bursting for you two."

Pitch Perfect star Brittany Snow commented: "Yaaaaaay my love!! So much love for you THREE".

While Orange Is The New Black actress Danielle Brooks said: "Welcome to the club mama!!!"

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in 2016, Gina spoke of her desire to have children and admitted she wanted a baby "so bad".

At the time she joked: “But I don't want the whole process, I just want one to arrive, like the stork conversation. I could adopt, right? Yeah, I just might do that. I definitely want to adopt."

Referring to the twin babies she works with on Jane the Virgin, she said: "I feel like they bring the baby up to me and my ovaries are like 'Ahh! Come here, baby!'"

Gina won a Golden Globe for her role as Jane Villanueva in the romantic comedy drama series in 2015.

She met Joe on the show's set in 2016 after he appeared in a guest role as a stripper.

The couple revealed they were engaged in 2018 and tied the knot a year later.
