Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez are each frontline celebrities on their own. But celebrities are also human, so can be fans of other world-renowned personalities. It turned out that ‘A-Rod’ was a big fan of Lopez, long before they began dating. Rodriguez thus owned a JLo souvenir in his collection that he cherished even during their relationship.

A-Rod and Lopez became lovers in 2017, as their friendship rapidly transformed into romance. But that wasn’t the first time they met. Their personal acquaintance reportedly dates back to a long time back in 2005. They met at an MLB game while they were both married in their respective lives at the time. But this particular narrative in this tale dates even further ago.

One of the most cherished gems in Alex Rodriguez’s treasure 

Alex Rodriguez reportedly once got Jennifer Lopez to sign a photograph for him. It was a poster of the pop music megastar and actress Lopez, herself. Per reports, the incident was from nearly 20 years before they began dating. Rodriguez also framed Lopez’s autographed poster, which remained with him for decades.

In 2018, Rodriguez even shared the image through a post on his Instagram account. Elaborating the post, Rodriguez quoted, “TBT to almost 20 years ago when a big-time global pop superstar signed a pic for a young ballplayer.” Back at the time, Lopez was already a global sensation, while Rodriguez was beginning to achieve superstardom. But by the time the couple began dating, Rodriguez stood on the same starry pedestal as Lopez.
