What future lies ahead for Jane Villanueva without Michael Cordero?
In a shocking turn of events on Jane the Virgin Season 3 Episode 10, Michael lost his life after suffering complications from his gunshot wound. Not only was his life cut short, but so was his unforgettable relationship with Jane.
In honor of the man who never stopped loving Jane until his dying breath, let's remember the times Michael made us laugh, swoon, and cry.
1. The Perfect Meet-Cute
Michael walked into Jane's life on her 21st birthday when he came to her home due to a noise complaint. After Jane mistook him for a stripper and shot a hole in her ceiling with his gun, it was smooth sailing the rest of the evening with some telenovela watching and a memorable first kiss.
2. Michael Will Wait
After finding out that Jane wanted to remain a virgin until marriage, Michael didn't hesitate to want to wait with her. Nobody said dating a virgin would be easy, but Michael knew Jane was someone worth waiting for.
3. The Man Behind The Scenes
Despite his insistance that he and Jane were meant to be together, Michael made Xo promise not to tell Jane he was the one responsible for protecting Alba from being deported. He didn't save Alba to impress Jane, he did it because he loved her family.
4. An Epic Kiss
The love triangle between Michael-Jane-Rafael seemed to have no end in sight. However, Jane's decision was made after an epic kiss with Michael under fake snow. Not only was the moment a sweet callback to their first kiss, but it was also just plain hot!
5. The Second Proposal
Jane and Michael's first engagement was cut short when her feelings for Rafael took over. With their second chance at a life together, Michael didn't wait long to propose once more. Jane barely let him get the question out before saying yes.
6. Defending Jane
Despite his parents' objections, Michael declared his love for both Jane and her son, even though he wasn't the biological father. Despite the bumps in their relationship, Michael was ready to be Jane's husband and Mateo's stepfather.
7. Michael Steps Up
Once Michael was back together with Jane, it was only a matter of time before his role in Mateo's life would have to be discussed. Not satisfied with being seen as a babysitter, Michael was ready and happy to take on a more significant role in Mateo's life.
8. The Wedding Vows
Michael surprised Jane when he recited his wedding vows to her in Spanish. This beautiful display of love for Jane's heritage showed how Michael was ready to be part of her family and made America swoon in the process.
9. Michael Takes The Stage
Not wanting to be seen as boring now that they were married, Michael proved to Jane that they still had it in them to be young and fun. With his adorably awkward singing and dancing to Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven," Michael got Jane out of her head and take to the stage with him.
10. Bonus: A Bromance For the Ages
One of the most unexpected, yet delightful pairings came courtesy of Michael and Rogelio. Their bromance was silly, sweet, and endlessly enjoyable to watch. There was never a dull moment when these two shared the screen.
