Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were supposed to be the romantic couple of the decade. Him, the baseball superstar. Her, the pop icon. What could go wrong? Jennifer Lopez was poised at the tip of the 20th century when she made her musical debut. An instant hit, her already established status as an actress skyrocketed. So it was no wonder that A-Rod declared her his dream date way before the two actually met.

The couple was together for two years when Rodriguez went down on one knee. It was a perfect moment for both of them. In the years since, they have spoken about what led up to the beach getaway and what followed after. But J-Lo once opened up about what A-Rod asked her just before the big moment.

Two of the most common paths that a couple usually takes are either marriage or break-up. Lopez and Rodriguez always knew they were headed toward the former. Lopez mentioned how she and the former Yankee had talked about it once or twice and knew they would end up married. Or as it turned out, at least engaged. The COVID-19 pandemic ruined those plans and due to various other factors, they eventually split up. But as they say, it was nice while it lasted.
