"(I mean look at who I married @emilybaldoni 😜💪🏼❤️) I’m so grateful that the supremely talented, kind-hearted and bad ass feminist- social justice warrior @sophiabush who I LOOOVE and adore came to play with us on @cwjanethevirgin this week," he continued.

Jane the Virgin Season 5 is the show's final season, and this role will mark Bush's return to the network after appearing on One Tree Hill until 2012.

Her statement reads as follows:
When one of your favorite ladies [Gina Rodriguez] calls you and says, ‘Will you come play in an episode for my last season!?’
AND that means you also get to play with one of your favorite dudes!? Whelp. You say YES! What a dream come true.
Beyond thrilled to be making some comedy alongside two of my favorite world-changers #laughsfordays
