Therefore, when the time came for his then-fiance Jennifer Lopez’s 50th birthday bash, it was common for Alex Rodriguez to go above and beyond for a perfect gift for her. 

The thoughts that went behind choosing the perfect gift for her were as pure as it gets. The duo had started dating each other when they rekindled their friendship in 2017. A couple of months before the third baseman proposed to her, the actress had celebrated her 50th birthday.

Therefore, as a caring and affectionate boyfriend, Rodriguez gave the actress a limited edition red Porsche with a meaningful reason behind it. Additionally, he became her driver.

Why did Alex Rodriguez have to become a driver for his girlfriend?

The reason behind Alex giving the red Porsche as a birthday gift was that the actress and her daughter, Emme, used to sing the song ‘limitless’ on her show while wearing red dresses. And that’s why the gifted Porsche got named ‘limitless’ as well. 

“I thought a matching Red Porsche would be the perfect gift on her birthday. So, she loved it. The problem is Jennifer hasn’t driven in 25 years, and Porsche is a car you actually drive. You don’t get driven in. So I said, ‘Hey, I’ll be the driver’ to her car, so that was it,” said the former baseball player in an interview with GQ.
