Grey's Anatomy alum Jesse Williams and his second wife Alejandra Onieva are expecting their first child together, just a few months after secretly tying the knot. The Spanish stunner, who turns 35 next Monday, revealed the baby news by posting multiple snaps of her growing bump in a 19-slide Instagram slideshow on May 18. Onieva and the 44-year-old Actor Award nominee enjoyed a tropical babymoon in what appeared to be Hawaii.
Secret Wedding Confirmed
TMZ reported on May 4 that the newlyweds had eloped 'a few months ago' in a 'super low-key ceremony.' The Anatomy of a Moment actress captioned her post 'vida', meaning life. Onieva only included one group shot featuring herself and Williams in the back row.
Relationship Timeline
The Chicago-born actor went public with the Fear of Day star on September 4 in Milan, Italy, after meeting in February 2024 on the set of Elena Bucaccio and Francesco Arlanch's show Hotel Costiera. However, Williams was still publicly attending events with his girlfriend of seven years, Ciarra Pardo, the former CCO of pop star Rihanna's corporation Fenty, as recently as February 2025.
Onieva guest starred as Sheryl opposite the Tony-nominated thespian's former Marine Daniel De Luca in two episodes of the Amazon Prime Video action drama, which was canceled last December. Williams and his ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee ended their five-year marriage in 2020 after a three-year legal separation and bitter custody battle. The Shifting Gears actor pays the 44-year-old real estate broker $6,413 per month in child support for their 10-year-old son Maceo and 12-year-old daughter Sadie, according to TMZ.
Williams also previously dated Taylor Rooks, Taylour Paige, and Minka Kelly. From 2020 to 2022, Onieva famously dated Marvel action star Sebastian Stan, who is coincidentally also expecting his first child with girlfriend Annabelle Wallis.
Upcoming Projects
The What We Hide producer-star portrays eloquent Paris tour guide Toussant in Leon Hendrix's romantic drama Montemartre, which screens this Saturday at O Cinema in Miami Beach, Florida during the 30th American Black Film Festival. Williams will next portray UBN's Head of News Vernon in the fifth season of Apple TV+ newsroom drama The Morning Show. The small-screen adaptation of Brian Stelter's 2013 book Top of the Morning also stars Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, and Jon Hamm.
The blue-eyed heartthrob briefly reprised his breakout role as plastic surgeon Dr. Jackson Avery in the October 30th episode titled 'Goodbye Horses' of the ABC medical drama's 22nd season. Meanwhile, Onieva will next star in Disney+ six-episode police mystery Caldas: The Last Ship, which is based on Domingo Villar's 2019 novel El último barco.
