Darci and Rogelio is a relationship on Jane the Virgin, portrayed by Jaime Camil and Justina Machado.

About[]

Rogelio and Darci meet when Rogelio seeks her out to find a match in her dating service. He goes on dates and very intensely rejects women because he's really looking for something to father a child with. Once Darci realizes this, she suggests that the two enter into a non-romantic co-parenting agreement.[1] Rogelio agrees, but quickly develops feelings for Darci and while she is apprehensive at first, being very cynical about relationships, she eventually admits to liking him too and to be scared of truly letting someone in. They decide to take having a baby slowly, now that they're involved. Rogelio eventually agrees to star in a reality show for Darci's sake, starring her and Rogelio entitled The De La Vega-Factor Factor.

Three years later, Darci and Rogelio have broken up because Rogelio couldn't go through with having kids with Darci after all. She resents him for having broken their deal (perhaps her heart?), but they still work together as Rogelio is contracted to the reality series until he breaks his contract. About 6 months later, the day before Xiomara and Rogelio's wedding, Darci shows up in Jane's car, pregnant with Rogelio's child. Although Xiomara initially calls off the wedding, she decides timing will never be perfect and they marry, while trying to mend fences with Darci so she and Rogelio can successfully become a family with Xiomara as well.

Darci gives birth to a baby, whom they name Baby. During her pregnancy, she falls in love with Rogelio's co-star/rival, Esteban Santiago, and he becomes like a second father to Baby. In the fifth and final season, when This is Mars moves to New York, Rogelio convinces Darci and Esteban to move with Baby, so that Rogelio can be with Baby.

Story[]

Think about it. We'd be very compatible parents: two ageing narcissists. We'd only have the kid half the time, the other half we'd get to have lives
— Darci to Rogelio[1]

Rogelio seeks out Darci's expertise to find a woman to have children with. Darci sets Rogelio up with a bunch of thoroughly researched dates based on his criteria, but Rogelio first messes up a date with Denise Richards and then rejects a bunch of women at a speed dating event. Darci is furious at Rogelio and ends her contract with him, but realises he rejected everyone because he's not looking for love, but for someone with whom to father children. Darci's surprised but sees that Rogelio is a good guy as he tells her how he missed out on watching Jane grow up. Darci reveals that she, too, wants a child and suggests herself as a match for Rogelio's dream and Rogelio agrees, announcing to his family that he and Darci are gonna have a child.[1]

Love is a gamble. This is methodical

Two weeks later, Darci and Rogelio meet with a lawyer to make a contract for their arrangement, surprising the lawyer who is very taken aback at how in sync and systematic they are. Alba tells Rogelio that it's hard for them to really understand his plan because they don't know Darci. Rogelio decides to invite her to Michael's first stand-up performance so she can get to know his family. Xiomara makes a snarky comment to Darci, who retorts that she's very direct so she wants to talk about why there is tension from Xiomara. Darci tries to explain that she and Rogelio have meticulously gone through everything and Xo keeps being snarky, leading Darci to conclude that Rogelio doesn't have a supportive family. After Alba talks to Xo, she apologises to Darci and tries to explain she is protective of Rogelio. Darci tells Xo that she's just looking for a good father and that she thinks Rogelio is that, something they agree on and Xo assures them both that the family will be supportive. Darci and Rogelio sign the contract in Rogelio's trailer for his indie film. He gets nervous and Darci calms him down. He asks her to come to set for his scene and she happily agrees. While shooting his nude scene, Rogelio gets excited as he looks at Darci. After finishing the scene, returning to the trailer Rogelio confesses to Darci that he has feelings for her. She says she figured and then tells him to get over it because it's not part of their plan, which surprises Rogelio a bit.[2]

3 weeks pass where they agree to spend time apart while Rogelio works on getting over his feelings for Darci. They meet up in her office, where Rogelio claims to be fine. Darci doesn't quite believe him and moves increasingly closer to him until Rogelio blurts out that he has feelings for her. He says that he should be honest and Darci agrees, but also asserts that this means they can't have a child together. They sit on her couch as they take in the news. Rogelio asks Darci if she won't go on a date with him and Darci agrees. Rogelio then asks her permission to kiss her. She accepts and they share a passionate first kiss.[3]
