'He is a diamond': Michaela Jae Rodriguez gushes over BF Stephen Gimigliano, says he's 'most likely last'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Michaela Jae Rodriguez is over the moon to find love in her boyfriend Stephen Gimigliano.

“I am very grateful that I do have my boyfriend in my life. I love, love,” the 'Nurse Jackie' star told People Magazine.

“He is my first and most likely last. And I'm very thankful for that. He has shown what it is like to have true love in your life, someone who cares for you, and also what trash does not look like,” the 33-year-old added.

Rodriguez continued, "He is much more than any of that. I know there are a lot of men out here that are trash, and I know I can say that because I've been through the gamut, but this man, he is nothing of the sort. He is a diamond.”

Rodriguez, who currently stars in the Apple TV+ comedy 'Loot', reportedly gets “giddy” over Gimigliano and wants to “garnish him in everything, diamonds and rubies. That’s exactly what he is.”

“I can’t loose [sic] when I’m with you! 10/25 4 years today. Damn time flew,” she wrote under the video, soundtracked by a cover of SZA’s 'Snooze'.
