Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez used to be the most trendy couple since they patched up. During their four years of relationship, this couple has gone through unique experiences, like spending and understanding each other’s families. Rodriguez used to praise JLo’s parents and admire them despite her father is not New York Yankees fan.
Despite their breakup, A-Rod and JLo are still one of the hot topics in the world of baseball. This dynamic duo was famous for multiple things, but they are most admired for their mutual respect and respect towards their families. During an interview back in 2018, the Former Yankees Shortstop praised her ex-girlfriend’s parents despite their rivalry on the baseball field.

After A-Rod and JLo started dating, they celebrated occasions with their families, where the 14x All-Star bring his children, and the 54-year-old actress bring her parents. These two families often post their moments on Social Media, enjoying the company of each other. Also, they never hide anything from fans and media, even though they used to share their feelings for their partner’s family openly.
The 2009 World Series Champion often appears in interviews after his retirement and his relationship with the pop sensation. During his interview with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb in “Alex Rodriguez Opens Up About Dating Jennifer Lopez And Embarrassing Family Moments,” the Yankees star was asked about the parents of his ex-girlfriend, and he replied confidently, saying, “Guadalupe’s the best. That’s where Jennifer got all her talent. David, her father, is amazing, too, and a longtime Met fan.” After a roll of laughter, he added, “We won’t hold that against him.” This showed the MLB star can separate his personal relationships from his profession.
A-Rod and JLo initiated their relationship after they met for the second time in 2017. This couple never tried to hide it from the public; instead, they announced it and got engaged in 2019. However, fate has another plan for them, so they broke up in 2021, but this couple is still among the most popular ones. During their dating period, they showed absolute love and respect for each and every person related to them.

A-Rod didn’t start his career with the Yankees, but his most impressive achievements are all with them. From 2004 to 2016, he spent 12 years with the team before retirement. Coming to New York Mets, they are one of the biggest rivals from the same city. So, it is natural that JLo’s father supporting the rivals won’t be acceptable to him. However, the 3xMVP has successfully separated these things from affecting his romantic relationship and his attitude towards his ex-girlfriend’s parents shows that he respects individual opinions.
As a Yankee Legend, he could have shown disgust upon hearing his partner’s parent is a New York Mets fan, but being sensible enough he has accepted the fact and said, they have no grudges against him.
