In an episode of TheEllenShow that aired in 2018, Ellen DeGeneres talks to the former Yankees slugger and asks him about the first time he met Jennifer Lopez. The slugger dived into a sweet narration of the story. However, the story was corrected by Ellen at the end of the segment.

So, how did Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez actually meet?

A-Rod, while talking about his first meeting, started off by saying, “So I describe this as the luckiest day of my life.” He moved on to add, “I’m walking outside and I forget where I park my car. I have no idea.”

A-Rod continued to say, “And for 10 or 12 minutes, I’m sitting there. And I’m kind of getting upset now because how can I forget? Anyway, someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn around. And I do not recognize the person. And it’s Jennifer. She’s dressed up as Harlee from Shades of Blue, and she’s in her jeans and her big boots. And it took me about four or five seconds, and she said, ‘It’s Jennifer.'”

However, Ellen moved to explain JLo’s side of the story and said, “She says you went up to her, and you approached her at the table. And started talking. All right, well, one of you is lying.” Notably, she did not seem to believe A-Rod’s version of the story.
