Mateo is a son was born on May 14th 2015 to Jane Villanueva and Rafael Solano and was the result of an accidental artificial insemination performed on Jane by Dr. Luisa Alver, Mateo's aunt.

A self-involved, famous telenovela star and Jane's biological father. He is trying to gain a relationship with his newly discovered daughter. He also has feelings for Xiomara, who was his girlfriend in high school. He marries Xiomara in the season three finale.
Rafael is still in love with Jane, while Jane tries casual dating for a while, and when he finally tells her how he feels, Jane tells him that her feelings changed and that's why they're not together.
Although the characters share a 5-year-old son (thanks to the miracle of an accidental artificial insemination) and have dated in the past, viewers have never seen Jane and Rafael as intimate as they were in the closing moments of "Chapter Seventy-Four," which means it was a new experience for the stars as well.
Spoiler: Jane and Michael finally did it, a deed the show depicted with a cartoon of them stepping into a rocket that blasted off into the stars.
When the promotional poster for the season was first released, it was revealed that the character of Mateo was recast with Elias Janssen due to previous child actor Joseph Sanders being too busy with school to commit to the role.
With Michael's return, Jane (Gina Rodriguez) has put her life on hold in order to do everything she could to get to know, well, Jason. But in episode 3 she realized that it was time to move on with her life. She signed the divorce papers — oh yeah, they were still married — and said goodbye to her husband.
Jane deciding to keep Mateo
But in a moment of strength after quitting her job at the hotel (owned by ex-boyfriend, father-of-the-baby Rafael, are you following Jane the Virgin virgins?), our heroine made the decision to keep her baby, Mateo, for herself and sue the father for sole custody.
Petra left Lachlan for Rafael, as he had more money and the two got engaged after five months of being together. They marry and Petra becomes pregnant with a boy. Unfortunately, Petra has a late-term miscarriage.
Rafael faces jail time for covering up his fathers crimes.
Jane was trying to decide between Michael and Rafael. Jane and Michael share a magical kiss and eventually, she chooses Michael over Rafael. After Michael attacks Rafael while the latter is holding Mateo, and Mateo is injured in the fray, Jane ends things with Michael, although she is still in love with him.
This episode aired on July 31, 2019 and was the climax of Jane and Rafael's tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship that had been a major focus of the series since its pilot. In this episode, Jane finally confessed her true love for Rafael and the two of them agreed to give their relationship another try.
Jane tries to find out if she is still married to Michael/Jason and suffers from severe catholic guilt. Jane tries her best to help Jason regain his memory but is not getting through to him. After Jane learns that she is still married to Michael, she decides to get divorced from him so she can move on with Rafael.
Jane Villanueva
In the series finale, Jane and Rafael finally get married surrounded by their friends and family and it's beautiful. After their wedding, Rafael asks how Jane ended her book and she says that they turn her life into a telenovela.
Jane Gloriana Villanueva got her happy ending. In the series finale of Jane the Virgin, not only did Jane get married to Rafael, but she revealed that her book's ending plays into the very show that fans have been watching for five seasons. (As does her son Mateo.)
Twelve episodes in to Jane the Virgin is when we get our first really huge plot twist. All signs had pointed to Rafael's father Emilio being Sin Rostro, drug lord and personal plastic surgeon liaison to criminals. But we read the signs wrong: Sin Rostro turned out to be Emilio's wife, Rose.
“We were very careful about not tipping it. Setting the table for an expectation of a telenovela plot twist, which certainly [Raf being Jane's brother] could be,” Snyder Urman said.
Mateo was not only Michael's step-son through his marriage with Jane but also his god-son. Michael were the first person outside of the family to visit Jane in hospital after Mateo was born. He was the one who got him back from Sin Rostro after he was kidnapped, after which Rafael asked him to be his godfather.
