For the four years Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez dated, they won everyone’s hearts.

Jennifer Lopez, who was now filled with red cheeks, and a broad smile, said, “He’s the best. He’s so cute.” Access’s anchor, Liz Hernandez, can’t stop smiling either, after A-Rod’s adorable display of love for his then-girlfriend. She added to what J.Lo said, and stated, “It makes my heart flutter.” A-Rod quietly walked away after kissing Jennifer Lopez.
All in all, despite a long list of delightful public appearances, their relationship came to an end in April 2021. Shortly after their split, J.Lo got back with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. And the newly formed couple married tied the knot in August this year. A-Rod, on the other hand, has been around his friends and family since the breakup. He was in a relationship with the model Kathryne Padgett, but that didn’t last long.
A-Rod & J.Lo: How their paths went awry?
Notably, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez started dating in 2017. After the collision of these two worlds, the couple won everyone’s hearts with their extremely adorable public appearances and supportive nature. Slowly and steadily, everyone started believing that the baseball icon and pop star are end-game. Adding to popular public opinion, the couple announced their engagement in 2019. However, what met the eye, and what occurred behind the public eye, were very different.
In 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic hit the world and the couple’s marriage had to be pushed twice. Analogous to that, two years after getting engaged, in April 2021, the couple officially announced the end of their engagement, citing that their relationship had run its course.
