The narrator of Jane the Virgin has finally been revealed

The final season of Jane the Virgin has come to an end.

And among all the revelations in the last few episodes, fans finally got the answer to one of the questions that has been lingering since season one: just who is the narrator? Spoilers for Jane the Virgin's series finale - and the narrator's identity - are just beyond this picture of Jane.  Since season one began, there had been a lot of theories about who was the mysterious voice over man. Was it Jane's grandfather telling his family's history? Was it someone we had already met? Was the narrator even a member of the Villanueva family? It turns out the narrator was someone close to Jane The reveal came during Jane and Rafael's wedding, when their son joined his half-sisters, Elsa and Anna, for a reading of the children's book Love Is You and Me.  Mateo projected his voice, to which his mum remarked he had used his "big boy voice". He told his mum his great glam-ma, Rogelio's mother, had helped him practice. “She said I would be great at voiceover work," he told Jane, before the narrator's accent changed slightly and he said, "And for the record, I am." So, basically, Mateo is the one who has been taking fans through his mum's journey all these years. Discussing the reasoning behind making Mateo the narrator, showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman told TV Line:

"Well, it’s Mateo, but it’s a step further. It’s [that] Mateo goes on to become a voiceover artist, hence the accent. "I wanted it to be a continuation of the layers of meta that we like to play in. I didn’t want to do flash forwards of how people will end up, but I liked knowing that he ended up well and successful and is married and is narrating his mother’s story. "I think we’ve always been really clear about the fact that you’re watching a telenovela throughout the five years. There was just a question of how really explicit we’d make it at the end, and I always knew we would make it really explicit."
