In the series premiere, Jane is a 23-year-old virgin who learns she's pregnant after accidentally being artificially inseminated by her doctor.
Mateo worked very hard to provide for his family and, sadly, died at the young age of 43. He was three years older than Alba and would've been in his 70's now. He presumably died before Xiomara got pregnant.
