Jane the Virgin
Justin Baldoni and Gina Rodriguez play co-parents Rafael Solano and Jane Gloriana Villanueva in “Jane the Virgin.” The CW

“Jane the Virgin” stars Gina Rodriguez and Justin Baldoni are more than just co-stars, they’re actually really good friends. Baldoni celebrated his 33rd birthday on Jan. 24, and he received the sweetest birthday greeting from Rodriguez.

Of course, Baldoni just had to reply to that amazing tweet.

Rodriguez and Baldoni often share positive messages to each other on their social media pages. Just last December, Baldoni raved about Rodriguez’s Marie Claire feature on his Instagram. He said that Rodriguez’s achievements have been “nothing short of mind blowing,” and he is proud of the way she continues to inspire young women everywhere.

In the show, Rodriguez plays Jane Gloriana Villanueva, while Baldoni plays her baby daddy Rafael Solano. The two have managed to remain on pretty good terms despite their failed romance and are doing well co-parenting for baby Mateo.

Meanwhile, Baldoni also talked to Fuse about the show’s guest stars. “Jane the Virgin” always has exciting guest stars up its sleeves, and in the past seasons, they have already recruited Britney Spears, Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Bruno Mars.

When asked about his favorite, Baldoni did not hesitate to answer Britney Spears. The actor said he did not shoot any scenes with the “Slumber Party” singer, but he did watch her on the set.

Their meeting, according to Baldoni, was awkward at best. “A few of us who weren't in scenes with her came to watch. Because I had tweeted her and she tweeted me back, I had gone up to her. So in my mind we’re friends, but we weren’t,” he laughingly recalled. “I gave her a big hug and I think I scared her...I just had this awkward moment of, ‘Did I just harass Britney Spears?’”

The show’s Season 3 airs every Monday at 9 p.m. EST on The CW.
