If there is one person to blame for ruining Alex Rodriguez’s legacy in baseball, it is only Alex Rodriguez himself. Despite being one of the best ballplayers in the game, A-Rod disgraced himself and his legacy by using PEDs. The former New York Yankees star has admitted several times that he did a huge mistake using steroids.

But it was too late when A-Rod realized his mistake. Not only did he face a one-year ban from MLB, but Alex Rodriguez also ruined the legacy he built over two decades. The MLB suspension also forced him to take early retirement. However, it did not hold A-Rod to get success in his post-retirement career.

The most standout thing about A-Rod is that he knows how to correct his mistakes and move on from the past. Talking about the same, his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez once praised the Yankees legend for his positive attitude.

In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair in 2017, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez opened up about their personal life in detail. First, A-Rod admitted his mistake of doing steroids and how he struggled to get past it. And J.Lo, being a good partner, praised her then-boyfriend for handling things with ease.

She appreciated A-rod for being strong enough to recover from his mistakes. Notably, after retiring from baseball, A-Rod has built a new legacy in his post-retirement career.

“The most impressive thing to me was how he did pick himself up and take that opportunity to make himself a better person,” she said. “The hardest times prove who you are. That’s what I love and admire the most about Alex. He doesn’t let anything beat him. He just comes back stronger.”

Considering the kind of understanding they had of each other, almost no one expected the two to end their relationship so early. Notably, A-Rod started dating J.Lo in 2017 and four years later, in 2021, they called it off.
