Jesse Williams, who famously portrays “Grey’s Anatomy” hottie Jackson Avery, is going to be a dad for the third time.
The actor’s wife, Spanish model and actress Alex Onieva, shared a pregnancy announcement on Instagram on May 18, 2025. In the first photo of an Instagram Carousel, the 33-year-old debuted her bump to social media in a tight black dress.

Williams, 44, privately married Onieva a few months ago, TMZ reported they learned from sources in early May.
The couple reportedly met in 2025 while acting together in the Prime Video action thriller “Hotel Costiera” in Italy.
The “Grey’s” heartthrob and his new wife have kept their relationship rather lowkey, and haven’t posted each other on their social media accounts. However, they have been spotted together by the paparazzi a few times.
Williams’ marriage to Onieva is his second. He was previously married to Aryn Drake-Lee, a real estate broker and entrepreneur, from 2012 to 2020. The pair separated in 2017 before finalizing their divorce 3 years later. They share two preteen children.
Is ‘Hotel Costiera’ Coming Back for Season 2?
“Hotel Costiera,” an action adventure in which Williams plays a former marine who is sent on a quest to find the missing daughter of his hotel owner boss, received a 90% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has been called “frothy, low-impact escapism” by The Hollywood Reporter.
On December 10, 2025, Deadline reported the show has not been picked up by Prime for a second season, despite hitting the number one spot on Prime in the U.S. and remaining in the top 10 for several weeks.
However, the latest word suggests there’s still a possibility the series could come back, because Deadline reported Fremantle, who holds the rights, was shopping it in other territories.
