During the time when Alex Rodriguez was dating ex-fiance, Jennifer Lopez, he recalls being told to get out of the way of the paparazzi. Apparently, he was mistaken as Lopez’s security guard at the time, and the paparazzi were keen on taking Lopez’s pictures.

Alex was pretty humbled by the incident. He has said before that Jennifer is the most talented human being ever, and that they had a good time together.

Alex Rodriguez called it a humbling experience

Lopez and A-Rod had started dating back in 2017, and just after a month of going public with their relationship, the duo appeared in public together at the Met Gala 2017. 

Jennifer had worn a powdered blue Valentino gown on the red carpet, whereas Rodriguez had played the perfect boyfriend and clicked pictures of her.

On The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Alex said, “It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. When I was with the Yankees when we won world championships.., you think you’re pretty cool, but then you hang out with Jennifer, and they confuse me with a security guard all the time.”
