It looks like Gina Rodriguez has a new man!

The 32-year-old star of the CW series Jane the Virgin hosted Marie Claire's first annual Young Women's Honors gala Saturday and attended it with actor and model Joe LoCicero, who played a stripper on her show this year. The two appeared super cuddly on the red carpet and also shared kisses inside throughout the evening, E! News has learned.

And LoCicero appears to be quite the gentleman—he took the time to pull out a chair for the actress at their table and also stood up when she did.

Rodriguez and LoCicero have not commented about their relationship.

The Young Women's Honors event was sponsored by Clinique and Moet & Chandon and was held at the Marina del Rey Marriott in Marina del Rey, California. It honors young women who are making a difference in the world.

Rodriguez and LoCicero sat at the same table as Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles, one of the honorees. The actress was super friendly and in a great mood, showcasing her dazzling smile all night, E! News has learned.

 

Rodriguez had never before talked publicly about LoCicero, but did mention her "boyfriend" in a tweet last month, without naming him.

She was in January linked romantically to actor Ben Schwartz. Before him, she dated Revenge alum Henri Esteve for more than a year.

 The Young Women's Honors, sponsored by Clinique and Moet & Chandon, will air on Dec. 19 on the CW network.
