Few couples have drawn the attention and fanfare that Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez did during their 4-year relationship. From 2017 through 2021, the couple made fans gush with their public displays of love and support for each other. After having gotten engaged with a $1.8 million engagement ring, the two seemed happy and in love. But in the summer of 2019, JLo made a ‘marriage’ promise to A-Rod.

At the time, the pop icon and baseball legend seemed secure in their relationship. Little did fans know that a couple of years later, the unthinkable would happen. Furthermore, that promise by Lopez was never fulfilled.
