Rosado told the outlet that she and Johnson have been in a ‘long-distance relationship’ between her native Tampa and his hometown of Miami.

Speaking with People in August, Rosado said ‘it was shocking’ when she found out that she and Johnson were expecting.
‘I think I was crying and laughing at the same time,’ she said. ‘I just can’t wait. It’s actually going by so fast. I found out I was pregnant while we were filming, so time is flying. It doesn’t even seem like it’s been that long.’
