Lopez was among the most popular celebrity women that ‘A-Rod’ ever dated. Their relationship remained a paparazzi favorite until it all lasted. Anyone making an association with someone of Lopez’s towering status will readily receive worldwide attention. Therefore, it was quite normal for ‘A-Rod’ to have felt nervous in Lopez’s company.
