Spanish actress Alejandra Onieva and Grey's Anatomy alum Jesse Williams are expecting their first child together, capping a whirlwind romance that began on the set of an Italian streaming series and has since included a secret wedding. The 33-year-old Onieva debuted her baby bump on Instagram in late May 2026, with Williams, 44, appearing alongside her in the post.
From Hotel Costiera Set to Marriage
According to TMZ, which broke both the wedding and pregnancy news, the couple first met in 2025 while filming the series Hotel Costiera on Italy's Amalfi Coast. By the autumn of that year, the pair had gone public with appearances together in Madrid, Rome, and at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
Williams and Onieva quietly tied the knot earlier in 2026 in an intimate, low-key ceremony that remained out of public view for several months.Hello Magazine reported that the couple had been married for some time before news of the wedding emerged in early May, with the pregnancy announcement following just weeks later.
A First Child for Onieva, a Third for Williams
This will be Onieva's first child and Williams's third, as E News confirmed. The Grey's Anatomy star shares two older children with his former wife, attorney Aryn Drake-Lee, and has spoken in past interviews about the importance of co-parenting through their separation.
Just Jared noted that representatives close to the couple described them as thrilled, and that the pair are keeping plans for any celebrations deliberately small. Friends suggest a private gathering may follow once Onieva enters her third trimester.
A Spanish Star's Profile Rises in the Region
Onieva, who first drew international attention through Spanish historical dramas and her Hotel Costiera role, has seen her profile climb sharply across Gulf audiences who follow Netflix's European originals. Her work in the period drama Sin Identidad and her runway appearances during Madrid Fashion Week have built a steady Middle Eastern following. With UAE viewers tuning in heavily to Hotel Costiera since its release, the pregnancy announcement has resonated well beyond Hollywood, sparking warm reactions across Abu Dhabi and Dubai social feeds.
