Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez was a master of playing skills on the baseball diamond. Outside the ballpark, he was quite popular among women with his charm. Which was a prime reason that he has had romantic flings with numerous high-profile ladies. Back in 2017, ‘A-Rod’ made a big impact on Jennifer Lopez through a compliment that came rather unexpectedly. 

Lopez was among the most popular celebrity women that ‘A-Rod’ ever dated. Their relationship remained a paparazzi favorite until it all lasted. Anyone making an association with someone of Lopez’s towering status will readily receive worldwide attention. Therefore, it was quite normal for ‘A-Rod’ to have felt nervous in Lopez’s company. But ‘A-Rod’ being a big shot himself, held himself together. 

‘A-Rod’ and Lopez had their first-ever personal meeting at a baseball game of the 2005 season in Shea Stadium. ‘A-Rod’ was playing MLB for the New York Yankees at that time and it was a game against the New York Mets. Both ‘A-Rod’ and Lopez were married individuals back then. While ‘A-Rod’ was married to Cynthia Scurtis, Lopez was famously married to popstar Marc Anthony.

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez never met each other again after that baseball game until 2017.

Interestingly, by that time, both ‘A-Rod’ and Lopez were single. 

They then met for dinner at a secluded back table in Hotel BelAir after a few nights. A nervous ‘A-Rod’ tried to express himself with some background information about him. Lopez could notice that ‘A-Rod’ was trying to make an everlasting impression on her. In the midst of their conversation, ‘A-Rod’ got up and went to the restroom.
