Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez redefined the idea of a cute and adorable couple. Since the first time they met, they instantly clicked. And in a brief span of time, introduced each other to their kids. The couple started dating in 2017 and got engaged two years down the line, in 2019.
Within a year after their engagement, Jennifer Lopez made her way into an extremely iconic list that included Shania Twain. And her list of thank you’s extended to the Yankees’ third baseman and their entire family.
