B&B casts Gina Rodriguez's hubby, Joe LoCicero

The Bold and the Beautiful is welcoming Joe LoCicero to the cast as new character Vincent Walker, and there's a fun twist to the addition: he's the real-life husband of former B&B star Gina Rodriguez (ex-Beverly).

Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez offered her acting talent to The Bold and the Beautiful in 2011 when she played the role of Beverly, and now she's offering something else pretty special: her husband, Joe LoCicero, who has joined the CBS soap opera.

According to People, LoCicero will be playing the recurring role of Vincent Walker, a nefarious colleague of Thomas (Matthew Atkinson). His first episodes are scheduled to air on Thursday, June 27, and Tuesday, July 2.

As fans of B&B may recall, Rodriguez played Dayzee's friend Beverly from 2011 to 2012. Beverly's addition to the cast as a Forrester intern played heavily into the show's foster care storyline opposite Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester). Beverly ran away after she was accused of stealing Forrester designs to give to Jackie M Designs, and Stephanie and Dayzee later found her at a housing complex for children aged out of the foster care system.

LoCicero has several credits on his IMDb page, including playing an MMA fighter on Kingdom and a stripper on Jane the Virgin in 2016 -- the latter of which led to his romance with Rodriguez. Following LoCicero's appearance on the CW dramedy, the couple fell in love and decided to tie the knot in May of 2019.
