A veteran of the war in Iraq, Martinez met his girlfriend on the set of ABC's 'All My Childlren' in 2008. At the time, Gonzalez-Jones was the assistant to the show's executive producer.  

Martinez told the magazine, "We found out just last week it's a girl and we are over the moon. Diana has a little baby bump now and it's the cutest thing ever. With the holidays coming up, this is the biggest and best gift we could get."

2011 has been a banner year for the actor, including his triumph in Season 13 of 'Dancing With the Stars'.  Joked the actor, "Diana and I were just asking ourselves, 'How is 2012 going to top 2011?' Well, we have our answer!"
