Even though they are not together, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez will always be a fan favorite couple. They were probably the most popular couple in the world. And there was a reason. A-Rod was a prominent face in American sports, while Jennifer is still rocking the stage with her week-in and week-out fiery performances.

A-Rod and Jennifer dated for over four years. In 2019, the ex-couple even got engaged. However, when things did not work out between them, the two called their much-talked-about relationship off in April 2021.

Not many people know, but A-Rod and Jennifer share their birthdays in a span of four days. The former New York Yankees star celebrates his birthday on July 27, while his ex-fiancee, Jennifer, celebrates her birthday (July 24) three days early before A-Rod. Last year, when the two were still a thing, A-Rod and Jennifer had planned to celebrate their birthday together. But by July 2021 (their birthday month), A-Rod and Jennifer had already broken up. And what happened next will shock everyone.

Now, what happened next is the most interesting thing. As earlier mentioned, A-Rod and Jennifer had planned to celebrate their birthdays together at the French Riviera. And guess what?
