A relationship with pop-sensation Jennifer Lopez eventually marked the resurgence of popularity for stained Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez. Their relationship, which soon received the ship name J-Rod, played an active bridge between the two worlds of Hollywood and MLB.

Similarly, back in 2019, on JLo’s 50th birthday, shortstop-turned-business magnate A-Rod bought the pop sensation a 2019 red 911 Carrera GTS Porsche worth above $140,000.
