And oh yeah, she was also in a much debated love triangle! Would Jane choose to be with Michael, the steadfast detective? Or Rafael, Mateo's father? And at last Jane chose Michael! And the wedding planning began. Of course, no one was more thrilled than Jane's TELENOVELA star father Rogelio, who was #teammichael from the start. Oh, and speaking of Rogelio - he was in love with Jane's mother, Xo. But alas, he wanted to have kids and she didn't.
