Jennifer Lopez Hoped “God’s Plan” Would Smile on Her and Then-Fiance Alex Rodriguez While Making History With Taylor Swift and Michelle Obama in 2019

The year 2019 was a very special time for both Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez due to multiple reasons. It was the year when the celebrity pair got engaged. Also, 2019 elevated Lopez to a whole new level, as she was chosen for the ‘People of the Year’ cover. Lopez got the honor from People magazine alongside three other world-renowned female celebrities. 

Baseball legend ‘A-Rod’ and Lopez started dating in 2017. They were easily one of the most talked about celebrity couples worldwide at that time. Even though ‘A-Rod’ himself was already a larger-than-life superstar athlete by then, Lopez’s gargantuan popularity across the globe even increased Rodriguez’s social media presence in turn. The 14-time MLB All-Star ‘A-Rod’ famously lifted the 2009 World Series trophy with the New York Yankees.

Lopez got selected as the People magazine cover face along with Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift, and Jennifer Aniston. Each of the celebrities had their own separate reason for making the mark. But they were united by the fact that they were all poster icons of powerful women in society. 

Jennifer Lopez’s future plans with Alex Rodriguez 

Back when Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez got engaged, they were a couple with a vision. That vision included goals for both their professional and personal lives. Lopez turned 50 years old in 2019 and continued her work with grace. 

Notably, Lopez also got in the running for the Oscars for co-producing ‘Hustlers’. She performed on a blockbuster music tour. In addition, she also had a Super Bowl appearance waiting in the queue. Lopez managed all this while balancing her family life with her then-fiance.

In an interview with People magazine, Lopez spoke about her engagement with ‘A-Rod’, saying she would also like to have more children. Lopez commented, “I don’t know if it’s in God’s plan, but I’d like to try.” However, those plans, unfortunately, didn’t come to fruition, as the celebrity pair broke up in 2021. Lopez is now married to actor Ben Affleck, while ‘A-Rod’ is a single father to his two daughters. 

A brief note on the other iconic women to have made the cover  

People magazine’s Editor-in-chief Dan Wakeford listed out the reason for the choices. Taylor Swift got selected as she won her creative rights and her album, ‘Lover’, became the best-selling record that year. Michelle Obama got heralded for her noteworthy charity works and won a Grammy for her memoir’s audiobook. Whereas, Jennifer Aniston impressed critics with her hard-hitting performance on the series, ‘The Morning Show’, which she also co-produced.
