The world knows Alex Rodriguez as a renowned baseball star. With a career spanning 22 years in the MLB, A-Rod won everything in his playing career. But apart from being a tremendous player in the past, 14x All-Star, Rodriguez is also a dedicated father to his two daughters, Natasha and Ella. In a heartwarming and humorous 5-year-old YouTube video, the former Yankees player once displayed his endearing side as a father.

The old footage posted by ABC News captures a candid interaction that reveals the relatable moments that unfold within a superstar’s life and highlights the importance of family amidst fame and success.

Alex Rodriguez has concerns like every father

While at home he may be a regular guy, but in the public sphere his fans still adore him. Despite his accomplishments and status as a sports icon, A-Rod shares similar concerns with other dads when it comes to daughters. His no. 1 job is always to be a doting dad to his two daughters.

In a 5-year-old video, A-Rod, inside an ice cream parlor, was enjoying his ice cream cone, one of the many perks of his retirement. Surrounded by his daughters, A-Rod spotted the moment his eldest daughter Natasha tried to hide her phone discreetly. This prompted the former Yankee to ask his daughter, “What boys? “What boys are we talking about?” A comical exchange between the father and daughter.

The former baseball player mischievously asked his daughter, “Should I go meet all of them?” He further told his daughter playfully that he wanted all the boys to know who her dad is. The fun banter reflects the protective nature and gentle teasing that fathers often engage in with their children.

Throughout the whole exchange, his daughter is genuinely shy and embarrassed. Adding a touch of authenticity that made the scene both relatable and endearing for fans. The light-hearted moment highlights the universal dynamics of fatherhood, where fathers playfully embarrass their children about romantic interests while ensuring their well-being. A-Rod has always been interested in his kids’ lives and always prioritizes his two daughters.
