In his twenty-two years on the diamond, Yankees icon Alex Rodriguez achieved many accolades to his name. But in those years, his personal life had to go through some significant changes. A year before winning his first and only World Series Ring, he separated from his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis. Since then, he has dated various big names in the sports and Hollywood industries. But hasn’t settled down with either of them. To this day, the highlight of his dating list remains with the pop icon Jennifer Lopez.

For those unversed, the duo had dated for four years and were engaged for two years. Before they broke up in April 2021, they’d been each other’s biggest fans, and always supported each other. While talking about their other skill, they’d be the first person to back each other. Therefore, when the time came for Lopez to back up the then 43-year-old’s baseball skills, she wasn’t going to stay put.

In an Instagram live in March 2019, A-Rod wished he would be back in Spring Training. Later he said that since he’s old now, he can’t play anymore. While trying to boost his confidence, JLo jumped in and said, “You can still play. I’ll bet if you still played, you’ll still be hitting probably some of the most home runs.”

Unless Lopez has gone to any of the games before 2005, her going to one of the Yankees and the Mets game in 2005 is the only game she ever saw him play. It was the time that she met him for the first time. And also felt a weird three seconds of electricity between them.
