It has been years since Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez called off their engagement. But even after it, the two remain one of the most loved couples ever. Much of it was due to their adorable public moments, success, and fame that added to their intimidating personalities. However, there was much more to their relationship because of another core that the two shared, including parenting.
Though the two never married, they had children from their previous marriages. But like any other parents, Alex and Lopez adored them and became part of their success. It also included their graduation from school. MLB legend, who was emotional about his daughter’s move to college, shared the same feelings years before.
Alex Rodriguez Joined Jennifer Lopez for Elementary School Graduation
Before being engaged to Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez was married to Marc Anthony. She had twins, Maximilian ‘Max’ David Muniz and Emme Maribel Muniz from that marriage. Though she got separated from her ex-husband, she continued to play the role of an exceptional mother. Back in 2019, it was visible in her action of managing the time from her hectic schedule for her children’s elementary school graduation ceremony. Notably, she was not alone in this task.
Alex Rodriguez, a proud and loving father, joined her. He reflected on the big day, “Three little ones graduating from elementary school and one from middle school.” It was a wonderful incident that showed Rodriguez’s strong parenting morals. The same morals continue to guide him and are visible as the ex-Yankees’ shortstop sent his daughter Natasha to her dream college.
It was not an easy job for him and required help from NFL star Tom Brady. Given that college determines the future of every person, Alex wanted his daughter to get the best education. For that, he took the help of Brady, who is a Michigan State University alumni, and was successful, but it also brought pain for him.
Emotional Rodriguez Tells How Tough It Is to Be a Parent
Parenting is one of the toughest jobs in the world. It takes effort, sacrifice, and dedication to fulfill the tough requirements. And with it, parents have to be ready for some tough decisions, including sending their children away from home. And because of it, even the strongest personalities find it tough to cope with this pain.
In an interview with US Magazine, Rodriguez reflected on the same as his daughter prepared for college after her high school graduation. He said, “I can’t believe it. I’m gonna drop her off in a few weeks in Ann Arbor, and I’m both incredibly proud of Natasha, but also incredibly sad that my first baby is leaving us.” He added, “And you know, for us dads, they’re always our babies — even if they’re 30 years old.”
Rodriguez had some advice for his daughter. He expects her not to leave her studies behind for the Drama. Although he supports her passion, A-Rod wants her to follow in his footsteps to continue his business legacy in the future. Sounds interesting!
