Long Before Everything Went Downhill, Jennifer Lopez Made the Bold Decision to Say ‘Yes’ to “Crazy” Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were supposed to be the romantic couple of the decade. Him, the baseball superstar. Her, the pop icon. What could go wrong? Jennifer Lopez was poised at the tip of the 20th century when she made her musical debut. An instant hit, her already established status as an actress skyrocketed. So it was no wonder that A-Rod declared her his dream date way before the two actually met.

The couple was together for two years when Rodriguez went down on one knee. It was a perfect moment for both of them. In the years since, they have spoken about what led up to the beach getaway and what followed after. But J-Lo once opened up about what A-Rod asked her just before the big moment.

Jennifer Lopez always knew Alex Rodriguez was ‘crazy’

Crazy in love, or just plain crazy? Who knows. A few years ago, Jennifer Lopez made an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon where she talked about the proposal. Rodriguez had already talked to Fallon about his side of it, giving details on how he checked the exact time of sunset to ensure perfect lighting. J-Lo shared what happened just before he proposed.

“He said something like, ‘When did you know I was crazy?’ Or something like that. He was nervous so he didn’t know what to say,” the singer told Jimmy. “I was like, pretty much the whole time I’ve known you were crazy. But I know what I’m signing up for. And then he just goes down on one knee.”

It was undoubtedly a romantic moment that both of them are probably going to remember, even if the couple is not together anymore.

Rodriguez and Lopez always knew they were going to get married

Two of the most common paths that a couple usually takes are either marriage or break-up. Lopez and Rodriguez always knew they were headed toward the former. Lopez mentioned how she and the former Yankee had talked about it once or twice and knew they would end up married. Or as it turned out, at least engaged. The COVID-19 pandemic ruined those plans and due to various other factors, they eventually split up. But as they say, it was nice while it lasted.
