Alex Rodriguez has had a storied career, one worthy of the books. Playing in the major leagues right after high school, twenty-two seasons in MLB, a World Series win, and an impressive performance on the field, are just some reasons why. Not only that, Rodriguez has constantly made headlines for his personal life as well. An A-list couple, tabloids loved A-Rod and his former fiancee Jennifer Lopez.

A highly publicized relationship meant constantly having to talk about the other person in interviews. But that was no problem for these talented individuals because, at the time, they were clearly in love. Even now, the former pro baseballer talks fondly of Lopez and their time together. In one conversation, Rodriguez once talked about, how the singer fundamentally changed him as a person.

Romantic relationships, whatever the degree of seriousness, always change a couple in whatever small way. And for Rodriguez, Lopez left him a better person. Talking to CNBC about how the singer had a major impact on his life, A-Rod gushed about Lopez as a person. He told Jade Scipioni, “I’ve never met anyone that understands people more than her. And she can see around corners. She’s a great communicator. She’s incredibly bold.”

Relationships are sometimes already hard but being in the limelight adds another layer to existing complications. News outlets love spinning a story in their own words, which may sometimes stray away from the truth. Or, when trying to hide something, come too close. But stories, that’s all they are.

But Lopez imparted another lesson to Rodriguez, which was how storytelling doesn’t have to be linear. “Where she’s helped me most, I think it’s maybe storytelling. Really understanding that every story has an arc, it has a start, a middle, and an end,” he said.
