Almost everybody has a dream of wanting to meet their favorite star in their respective fields. But it does not always come true for everyone. But. baseball legend Alex Rodriguez is one of those people whose dream of meeting their favorite star did come true. It was when he met WWE superstar John Cena. ?A decade ago, Rodriguez went to WrestleMania 28 with his then-girlfriend Torrie Wilson. Since dating a former WWE star has its own perks, A-Rod got a first-class ticket to see the WWE superstar John Cena. The former Yankee had his dream come true moment with Cena. But he also got a special message from Cena for none other than the then-New York Yankees star, Derek Jeter. And since Cena is from Massachusetts, appreciating a Bronx bomber would have been a crime because it would have easily irked the Red Sox fans.? WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE THAT JOHN CENA WANTED ALEX RODRIGUEZ TO PASS TO DEREK JETER? Nike brand had collaborated with the NBA legend’s Jordan fashion line. And in 2008, the brand signed four-time World Series champion Derek Jeter [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derek-jeter/] as one of its ambassadors. Naturally, athletes of different sports wanted to wear the best apparel, and Jeter’s Jordans was one of them. Therefore, when Cena [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena/] met Rodriguez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alex-rodriguez/] before his match at WrestleMania, he wanted [https://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201204/rod-awe-after-meeting-wrestling-hero] A-Rod to let Jeter know that he was wearing his Nike merch for the match.? Live Fans [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-wwe-legend-john-cena-recalls-the-first-time-he-wrestled-in-front-of-live-fans/] Now, since the WWE star is from Massachusetts, and its capital is the home city of the Red Sox, if a person from there would show appreciation to their biggest rival player, the fans definitely would get irked. Notably, the Red Sox and Yankees have the fiercest rivalry in the sport. WHEN DID THE RED SOX AND YANKEES RIVALRY START? While the Yankees were mediocre in the first two decades of the twentieth century, the Red Sox won five World Series. The off-field rivalry started in 1919 when MLB legend Babe Ruth got transferred from the Red Sox to the Yankees.? legends who acted in films [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/wwe-news-dwayne-johnson-john-cena-hulk-hogan-and-others-10-wwe-legends-who-acted-in-films/] And it was the start of the ‘Curse of Bambino’ for the Red Sox. It would then stop them from winning a World Series for 86 years. However, the on-field rivalry did not start until 1938. Given the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, do you think the Red Sox Nation would have sent their messages to the WWE star? Let us know in the comments below. 

WWE icon John Cena had a message he wanted to deliver to Derek Jeter via Alex Rodriguez, and it was something that could irk Red Sox fans.

Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez: Net Worth 2023, Relationships, and Investments Alex Rodriguez Net Worth 2023 As of 2023, Alex Rodriguez&#8217;s reported net worth is around $350 million. By the time A-Rod retired from the park, he accumulated almost $475 million in salary and bonuses, and another $100 to $200 million in brand endorsements. After retirement, he dove into the world of business through A-Rod Corp, an enterprise he began in his teenage years. Thanks to his multiple investments under the umbrella of his investment company, the former New York Yankees slugger&#8217;s estimated salary is around $33 million per annum. While his baseball career may be what brought him into the spotlight, it is surely his affable personality that is keeping him there. Alex Rodriguez’s Early Life and Family Alex Rodriguez was born to Victor Rodriguez and Lourdes Navarro on July 27, 1975, in New York City, United States. A-Rod&#8217;s father was a Dominican-American, while his mother was a Puerto Rican. Victor ran a shoe store in Manhattan when Alex was born. Lourdes, on the other hand, was a secretary until she had to start working multiple jobs. He was raised in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan before his family moved to Miami after their shoe business did not survive in NYC. However, when young Rodriguez was only nine years old, his father abandoned his family and moved back to New York. Alex Rodriguez was the youngest of two half-siblings from his mother&#8217;s first marriage, Joe Dunand, and Susy Dunand. A-Rod studied at Everglades Elementary School in Florida, where a chance meeting with a coach set him up as the catcher on the school team. In addition to that, A-Rod went to Westminster Christian School and Christopher Columbus High School. BOSTON &#8211; SEPTEMBER 28: Alex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees smiles between innings against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park September 28, 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images) When Victor Rodriguez abandoned 9-year-old A-Rod and his family, A-Rod&#8217;s mother, Lourdes Rodriguez, stepped into the role of both parents. She worked multiple jobs during the day to feed her family and raised the future baseball star right through his school days and through to college. Coordinated by Alex Rodriguez&#8217;s ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, the future Yankees superstar reconnected with his father for the first time on Father&#8217;s Day in 2000 at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minnesota. A-Rod described that day by saying, as &#8220;maybe the most important four days of my life.&#8221; Alex Rodriguez: Baseball career Alex went from strength to strength after getting drafted first by the Mariners in the 1993 draft. He made his MLB debut as a starting shortstop with the Seattle Mariners on July 8, 1994. A-Rod was only the third player in the past century to make their debut at the tender age of 18 years old, and the first such player in a decade. He picked up friends in the dugout all along. Ken Griffey Jr., one of the most famous pieces of the puzzle in Seattle, reportedly even asked for Rodriguez to have the locker next to his. Rodriguez then set out for new pastures in his free agency in 2000. In a record contract for the league at the time, the Texas Rangers signed the shortstop to a 10-year, $252 million deal in December 2000. With the Texas Rangers, in 2003, Alex Rodriguez won his first American League MVP Award. For the most storied part of his career, A-Rod arrived in New York after the end of the 2003 season. Not one to set the bar for himself, Rodriguez set out to shatter his own record in his move to the New York Yankees as he signed another 10-year $275 million deal with the New York Yankees in 2004. In a trade that put the player alongside his high school friend and fellow emergent shortstop, Derek Jeter, Rodriguez flourished in New York. NEW YORK &#8211; JULY 15: American League All-Star Alex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees reacts after a play in the first inning of the 79th MLB All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium on July 15, 2008 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images) Following the 2007 season, A-Rod opted out of his ten-year New York Yankees contract and entered free agency again. The controversy arose because many fans and members of the media felt that Rodriguez&#8217;s decision to opt out was selfish and showed a lack of loyalty to the Pinstripes. This sparked debates and discussions about the role of contracts and opt-out clauses in professional sports and the ethical implications of using them. Rodriguez eventually re-signed with the Yankees for 10 years and $275 million, the largest contract in MLB history at the time. After spending 12 seasons with the Yankees filled with achievements and controversy, with four homers short of 700, Alex Rodriguez announced his MLB retirement in 2016 when his contract ended. Alex Rodriguez’s Media Career Upon retiring from his playing career, Rodriguez made a transition into the media world, occupying various roles such as a commentator for Fox Sports 1, a guest judge on the popular show &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; and a contributor to ABC News.  OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA &#8211; AUGUST 29: Broadcaster and former MLB player Alex Rodriguez looks on from the field before the game between the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees at RingCentral Coliseum on August 29, 2021 in Oakland, California. (Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images) In 2018, he joined the broadcast team for ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;Sunday Night Baseball.&#8221; Furthermore, in 2017, he was announced as the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Back In The Game,&#8221; where he assists former athletes in making a resurgence in their personal lives. The first episode of the show premiered in March 2018 on CNBC. Most recently, A-Rod called the National League postseason alongside the likes of David Ortiz and Frank Thomas with Fox Sports. Alex Rodriguez’s Business and A-Rod Corp   A-Rod&#8217;s business ambition stemmed from his father&#8217;s entrepreneurial mind. The Yankees’ baseman envisioned the need to invest his money in the right places from day one. As a result, in his early MLB days, in 1996, A-Rod founded A-Rod Corp as a holding company. Today, his business empire stems from the success of A-Rod Corp. The A-Rod Corp focuses on a variety of business ventures, including real estate, construction, high-end fitness centers, and automotive dealerships. In 2014, Group 1 Automotive, a Houston-based dealership group, announced that they had acquired Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City and changed its name to Mercedes-Benz of Clear Lake. When talking about his real estate investments, Alex Rodriguez founded Newport Property Construction in 2008. In 2012, he also founded Monument Capital Management, which has acquired over $700 million of real estate assets as of 2019 and owns more than 15,000 apartments in 13 states. Alex Rodriguez&#8217;s company has made several investments over the years in various industries, including technology, fitness, and beverage. NRG eSports, TruFusion, Dirty Lemon, Petros Pace Finance, Hims, Hers, etc are a few companies where A-Rod has made significant investments. NEW YORK &#8211; DECEMBER 31: Baseball player Alex Rodriguez during NBC&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve 2008 with Carson Daly in Times Square on December 31, 2007 in New York City. (Photo by Steven Henry/Getty Images) In 2021, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez made a bid for the MLB franchise, New York Mets. Despite their efforts, the ex-couple lost the bid to another group led by Steven Cohen, who purchased the New York Mets for almost $2.5 billion. In May 2021, Alex Rodriguez also announced a partnership with telehealth company Hims &amp; Hers to create a makeup product for men. Alex Rodriguez’s Timberwolves Deal Along with ex-Walmart CEO Marc Lore, Alex Rodriguez owns a 20% stake in the Minnesota Timberwolves. While it was supposed to be an equal split between A-Rod and Lore, Alex Rodriguez failed to come up with funds for a 10% stake. As a result, A-Rod owns 7%, while Lore owns 13%. They signed the deal to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves for $1.5 billion. Their first downpayment was made in July 2021 for $250 million. Jennifer Lopez perpetually stood as a safety net when A-Rod conducted meetings with investors. Her charming presence made it easier for A-Rod to crack deals. As a result, following their breakup, the former Yankees champion may lose credibility, which in turn could affect his future investments with the Timberwolves. Alex Rodriguez’s Awards and Honors 14× All-Star (1996–1998, 2000–2008, 2010, 2011) World Series champion (2009) 3× AL MVP (2003, 2005, 2007) 2× Gold Glove Award (2002, 2003) 10× Silver Slugger Award (1996, 1998–2003, 2005, 2007, 2008) 4× AL Hank Aaron Award (2001–2003, 2007) MLB batting champion (1996) 5× AL home run leader (2001–2003, 2005, 2007) 2× MLB RBI leader (2002, 2007) Alex Rodriguez was part of a broadcast recognized for its excellence, as the MLB studio show on FOX Sports won back-to-back Sports Emmy Awards for Outstanding Studio Show during its coverage of the 2016 and 2017 Postseason. Rodriguez himself was also recognized for his abilities as a sports analyst, as he received a nomination for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Sports Personality, Studio, and Sports Event Analyst in 2019.    Alex Rodriguez’s Relationships timeline    Cynthia Scurtis (2002 &#8211; 2008) Madonna (2008) Bethenny Frankel (2009) Kate Hudson (2009) Cameron Diaz (2010 &#8211; 2011) Torrie Wilson (2011 &#8211; 2015) Anne Wojcicki (2016 &#8211; 2017) Jennifer Lopez (2017 &#8211; 2021) Kathryne Padgett (2022) Alex Rodriguez’s ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis In 2002, Alex Rodriguez and psychology graduate Cynthia Scurtis married after meeting for the first time in a Miami gym. Scurtis worked as a high school psychology teacher in Miami around the time that Rodriguez was gearing to make his mark in the Major Leagues, and the two hit it off there. The two began dating and eventually married in November 2002. A-Rod and Cynthia&#8217;s first child, Natasha Alexander, was born in 2004. Four years later, amidst divorce conversations, A-Rod&#8217;s second daughter, Ella Alexander, was born. In 2008, the pair filed for divorce, with Scurtis citing &#8217;emotional abandonment&#8217; and &#8216;marital misconduct&#8217; as reasons for their separation. A major reason behind the end of the couple’s marriage was his alleged infidelity with pop sensation Madonna, which became a bone of contention between the pair. Today, long years after their hostile divorce, the couple has reconciled for their children and has proven to be on good terms. Alex Rodriguez&#8217;s relationship with Jennifer Lopez In May 2005, Jennifer Lopez, who hails from the Bronx, went to a New York Yankees game against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium with her then-husband Marc Anthony. A photograph was taken of her and Alex Rodriguez shaking hands. Almost 12 years after, in March 2017, rumors of their relationship were confirmed. The couple officially announced the start of their relationship in April 2017. Correspondingly, on May 1, 2017, Jennifer Lopez and Rodriguez made their first public appearance through a red carpet debut at the Met Gala.

(Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) In little to no time, the couple met each other&#8217;s family and went on a vacation to Paris in June 2017. By October, conversations about the couple moving in together began. Two years after their relationship started, the couple announced their engagement in March 2019 through an Instagram post. However, the journey to actually getting married wasn&#8217;t so easy for the J-Rod couple.

Finally, the couple succumbed to trust issues and announced the end of their engagement in April 2021.  Who is Alex Rodriguez currently dating? Since October 2022, Alex Rodriguez has been in a relationship with fitness coach Jaclyn Cordeiro. She is a fitness model, expert, and coach who also writes.

(Photo by Manny Hernandez/Getty Images) Rumors of the couple’s relationship first started when MLB insider Hector Gomez uploaded an image of David Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez, and “his girlfriend,” during the MLB postseason. Alex Rodriguez’s Children Alex Rodriguez has two daughters with his former wife Cynthia Scurtis. Their first daughter, Natasha Alexander, was born on November 18, 2004, and their second daughter, Ella Alexander, was born on April 21, 2008, in Miami, Florida. Alex Rodriguez-Derek Jeter Friendship Baseball legends Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez started their careers as the best of friends. However, as the years went by, their relationship took a few unexpected detours. NEW YORK &#8211; OCTOBER 20: (L-R) Derek Jeter #2 and Alex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees walk back to the dugout at the end of the top of the fourth inning against the Texas Rangers in Game Five of the ALCS during the 2010 MLB Playoffs at Yankee Stadium on October 20, 2010 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) The first time A-Rod and Jeter met was in 1993 at a college baseball game between the University of Miami and the University of Michigan. Rodriguez made his MLB debut in 1994, playing his first game for the Seattle Mariners, while Jeter had already been playing in the minor leagues since 1992. Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez were known for their close friendship long before they became teammates in 2004. In fact, their bond was so strong that players from both the Yankees and Mariners often teased them about it. NEW YORK, NY &#8211; OCTOBER 13: (L-R) Derek Jeter #2 and Alex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees talk in the field against the Detroit Tigers during Game One of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium on October 13, 2012 in the Bronx borough of New York City, New York. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images) The beginning of the end of the friendship between Jeter and Rodriguez started to show in late 2000. While Rodriguez signed a $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers, which was the largest in sports history, Jeter signed a $189 million deal to stay in the Bronx. This should have been a happy occasion for both of them, but things took a turn for the worse when A-Rod treated a question about who could potentially break this contract with arrogance. In April 2001, Jeter reportedly had a relationship with Joy Enriquez, who was previously asked by A-Rod to accompany him to the All-Star Game. After Rodriguez introduced Enriquez to Jeter, the two began dating for a brief period. In 2004, A-Rod made his way to New York to join the Yankees, becoming teammates with Jeter after a decade-long friendship and recently fostering a feud. The Yankees&#8217; General Manager, Brian Cashman, reported that Jeter was pleased with Rodriguez&#8217;s decision to switch positions to third base, allowing Jeter to continue playing shortstop. When A-Rod’s name came up in connection to the steroid scandal, Jeter offered a public show of support for his friend. The then-Yankees captain told reporters to give his teammate a chance to respond before passing judgment and expressed his frustration with the widespread belief that everyone in the league was using steroids, which he denied. Despite their initial close relationship and all the twists and turns their friendship took, Jeter and Rodriguez are simply acquaintances today. Overall, the two baseball legends have put their past behind them and moved on, focusing on their post-baseball careers and personal lives.

<h1 style="text-align: center"><b>Derek Jeter Net Worth 2024, Earnings, Career and MoreÂ </b></h1>
Derek Jeter, AKA The Captain, is one of the greatest ever to play the game of baseball. Born on June 26, 1974, in New Jersey, Jeter became a legend in the game. He is one of the very few athletes who not only played but achieved immense success for a single franchise throughout his sporting career.

[caption id="attachment_1466122" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1466122 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-492345363.jpg" alt="Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees" width="1920" height="1280" /> NEW YORK, NY - MAY 15: Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees looks on from the dugout prior to the game against the New York Mets on May 15, 2014 at Citi Field in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.

A leader in the clubhouse and a clutch player in the ballparks, Derek Jeter's name became the synonym of the term 'captain;' probably the only athlete to have such an honor. Having played for over two decades for the most successful MLB franchise, the New York Yankees, Jeter was a true gentleman of the game.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Derek Jeter's net worth 2024</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jeter's annual income is estimated at around $30 million with a net worth of $200 million in the year 2024. It includes the earnings from his baseball career, several endorsements, business ventures, and more. His collaboration with Fox Sports as an MLB commentator is poised to contribute to a probable increase in his earnings.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Where Derek Jeter hails from? Know more about his ethnicity and family</b><b>
</b></h2>
Derek Jeter was born in Pequannock Township, New JerseyÂ to substance abuse counselor Sanderson Charles Jeter and accountant Dorothy Jeter. His father, Charles Jeter, is African-American, while his mother Dorothy holds Irish, German, and English ancestry. Dorothy and Charles met while serving in the United States Army in Germany.

When young Derek was four years old, his family moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Jeter eventually started playing in little league baseball. In Kalamazoo, Jeter attended Kalamazoo Central High School before earning a scholarship to attend the University of Michigan and start for the Michigan Wolverines.

Derek Jeter also has a younger sister, Sharlee Jeter. Born on November 20, 1979, today, Sharlee is the president of Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation. Notably, Sharlee Jeter is a cancer fighter and survivor.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1567452 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-03-01-at-3.02.28-PM.jpeg" alt="" width="1600" height="1159" />

Eventually Captain Clutch or Mr. November wasn't the first Jeter to enter baseball. Way before Derek became an iconic shortstop, his father, Charles Jeter, played at shortstop at Fisk University in Tennessee. Even Derek's sister, Sharlee, was a softball star in high school.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>A legend of the game: An overview of Derek Jeterâ€™s professional career</b></h2>
Although it was the Houston Astros who went first in the 1992 MLB Draft, the Astros picked Phil Nevin instead of the young Derek Jeter. It was the Yankees who picked him as their 6th draft and landed for just $800,000. Yankees scout Dirk Groch, who discovered Jeter's talent from his high school in Michigan had described him as a 'five-tool player' in his scout report.

Before Jeter made his MLB debut in 1995, he was highly touted as a top prospect. Baseball America even ranked him as the fourth-best prospect in the league heading into the 1995 season. Despite this, Jeter had a minor setback when he suffered inflammation in his right shoulder while playing in the Arizona Fall League after the conclusion of the 1994 regular season.

[caption id="attachment_1466101" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1466101 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-77232156.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" /> NEW YORK - OCTOBER 08: Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees fields a grounder hit by Travis Hafner #48 of the Cleveland Indians in the eighth inning of Game Four of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium on October 8, 2007 in the Bronx borough of New York City.

The New York Yankees had been trophyless for 15 years when Jeter arrived in the Bronx. But little did any baseball fan know that a New Jersey boy was going to change the course of the Yankees' history in the next 15 years.

Debuting in the 1995 season, Jeter became a symbolic figure for the Pinstripes. Unlike every other baseball player, Jeter was more of a leader who always prioritized the team ahead of personal glory.

Whenever needed, he also won several games for the Yankees in crunch situations. With 260 home runs from the plate, Jeter also has 1,311 RBIs with a remarkable batting average of .310 to his name.

Considering his dedication and loyalty to the team, the then Yankees owner George Steinbrenner named Derek Jeter as the official captain in 2003. The legendary Yankees shortstop retired as the captain of the team by the end of the 2014 season. Later, in 2016, the Yankees honored Jeter by retiring his jersey number #2.

Derek Jeter, a long-time player for the Yankees, signed a one-year contract worth $12 million for the 2014 season, which was to be his final MLB season. Throughout his farewell tour, Jeter was honored by several other teams with gifts and donations to his Turn 2 Foundation charity. The final home game of Jeter's career was played on September 25 and was highly anticipated, with ticket prices reaching an average of $830 on the secondary market. In a fitting finale, Jeter hit a game-winning single against the Baltimore Orioles, bringing the game to a close with a 6-5 victory for the Yankees.

Jeter participated in two World Baseball Classic events, representing the United States national baseball team. In 2006, Jeter played shortstop and had a batting average of .450, earning him a place on the All-Tournament Team. He was also named captain of the US team in the 2009 WBC, where he batted .276 in eight games. In a rare instance, he even faced his own team, the Yankees, in an exhibition game during the tournament.

He was also named the most marketable player in baseball by Sports Business Surveys in 2003, 2005, and 2010. To honor Jeter's retirement, Jordan Brand created a tribute commercial "#RE2PECT" with many baseball players, celebrities, and even rival fans tipping their caps.

Jeter has been involved in various business ventures both during and after his MLB career. In 2013, he formed a partnership with Simon &amp; Schuster to create Jeter Publishing, an imprint that would publish nonfiction books, children's picture books, elementary-grade fiction, and books for children learning to read. The partnership has the potential to expand into film and television productions.

In 2014, the former Yankees captain launchedÂ <i>ThePlayersTribune.com</i>, a new media platform that gives professional athletes an unfiltered voice and brings fans closer to the games they love. He also has a partnership with Concessions Tampa to bid for a space within the Tampa International Airport and plans to open a restaurant named after his website. Jeter serves as a brand development officer for Luvo Inc. and has investment interests in the multi-channel video network company, Whistle Sports Network.

In 2021, Jeter joined the board of Rockefeller Capital Management and in July 2017, he was involved in the bidding for ownership of the Miami Marlins, which he eventually purchased with Bruce Sherman. In September 2022, Jeter announced the launch of Arena Club, a card grading, storage vault, and marketplace platform.

<p class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><b></b>Derek Jeter had always dreamed of owning a baseball team. In 2017, that dream came true after he got involved in the acquisition of the Miami Marlins in July 2017.

The sale was approved by all 29 other MLB team owners and was completed in September of that year.</p>
Despite only owning a 4% stake in the Marlins, Jeter was named CEO and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the team, with Sherman serving as the controlling owner.

Hannah Davis and Derek Jeter first met in 2012 through mutual friends. Before their meeting, Hannah, who grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands and later moved to New York City, was not familiar with Jeter. The couple started dating after Jeter ended his four-year relationship with Minka Kelly, and they were introduced to each other through a friend.

They kept their relationship low-key, appearing in public together infrequently and sharing glimpses of their lives through interviews. In November 2015, they confirmed their engagement, and in July 2016, they tied the knot.

They have since welcomed three children, River, Story, and Bella. Despite being in the public eye, Jeter and Davis have kept much of their lives as a couple and family private.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Frenemies<b>Â Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez: A tale of Friendship turning sour</b><b>
</b></h2>
The first time Jeter metÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alex-rodriguez/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Alex Rodriguez</a>Â was in 1993 at a college baseball game between the University of Miami and the University of Michigan. Jeter made his MLB debut one year after A-Rod, in 1995. He and Rodriguez were known for their close friendship long before they became teammates in 2004. In fact, their bond was so strong that players from both the Yankees and Mariners often teased them about it.

[caption id="attachment_1168673" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1168673 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-53464874.jpg" alt="Derek Jeter with Alex Rodriguez" width="1920" height="1341" /> BALTIMORE, MD - JUNE 28: Alex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees talks with Derek Jeter #2 during the game between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles on June 28, 2005 at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland.

The beginning of the end of the friendship between Jeter and Rodriguez started to show in late 2000. Rodriguez signed a $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers, which was the largest in sports history at the time, while Jeter signed a $189 million deal to stay in the Bronx.

This should have been a happy occasion for both of them, but things took a U-turn for the worse when A-Rod treated a question about who could potentially break this contract with snide. In a 2000Â interview with ESPN radio, Alex said, <em>"Even a guy like Derek, it's going to be hard for him to break that because he just doesn't do the power numbers, and defensively he doesn't do all those things".</em>

In April 2001, Jeter reportedly had a relationship with Joy Enriquez, who was previously asked by A-Rod to accompany him to the All-Star Game. After Rodriguez introduced Enriquez to Jeter, the two began dating for a brief period.

In 2004, A-Rod made his way to New York to join the Yankees, becoming teammates with Jeter after a decade-long friendship and recently fostering a feud. The Yankees' General Manager, Brian Cashman, reported that Jeter was pleased with Rodriguez's decision to switch positions to third base, allowing Jeter to continue playing shortstop.

When A-Rod's name came up in connection to the steroid scandal, Jeter offered a public show of support for his friend. The then-Yankees captain told reporters to give his teammate a chance to respond before passing judgment and expressed his frustration with the widespread belief that everyone in the league was using steroids, which he denied.

Despite their initial close relationship and all the twists and turns their friendship took, Jeter and Rodriguez are simply acquaintances today. Overall, the two baseball legends have put their past behind them and moved on, focusing on their post-baseball careers and personal lives.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>A bond for life: Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan's friendshipÂ </b><b>
</b></h2>
Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan, two legends of their respective sports, first met when MJ had made the impulsive decision to quit baseball and was then playing in the Arizona Fall League. He revealed that the relationship grew over time.

Jeter often spoke about how Jordan is like his older brother and still an inspiration to many people, not just for his achievements in the NBA, but also for his successful post-athletic career in building businesses.

Jeter also elaborated on how Michael Jordan was always there for him and looked out for him, and that he learned a lot from him. Even today, Jeter considers 'MJ' one of his closest acquaintances, and he continues to learn from him.

Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter Net Worth 2024, Earnings, Career and MoreÂ  Derek Jeter, AKA The Captain, is one of the greatest ever to play the game of baseball. Born on June 26, 1974, in New Jersey, Jeter became a legend in the game. He is one of the very few athletes who not only played but achieved immense success for a single franchise throughout his sporting career. NEW YORK, NY &#8211; MAY 15: Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees looks on from the dugout prior to the game against the New York Mets on May 15, 2014 at Citi Field in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Yankees defeated the Mets 1-0. (Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images) A leader in the clubhouse and a clutch player in the ballparks, Derek Jeter&#8217;s name became the synonym of the term &#8216;captain;&#8217; probably the only athlete to have such an honor. Having played for over two decades for the most successful MLB franchise, the New York Yankees, Jeter was a true gentleman of the game. Derek Jeter&#8217;s net worth 2024 According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jeter&#8217;s annual income is estimated at around $30 million with a net worth of $200 million in the year 2024. It includes the earnings from his baseball career, several endorsements, business ventures, and more. His collaboration with Fox Sports as an MLB commentator is poised to contribute to a probable increase in his earnings. Where Derek Jeter hails from? Know more about his ethnicity and family Derek Jeter was born in Pequannock Township, New JerseyÂ to substance abuse counselor Sanderson Charles Jeter and accountant Dorothy Jeter. His father, Charles Jeter, is African-American, while his mother Dorothy holds Irish, German, and English ancestry. Dorothy and Charles met while serving in the United States Army in Germany. When young Derek was four years old, his family moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Jeter eventually started playing in little league baseball. In Kalamazoo, Jeter attended Kalamazoo Central High School before earning a scholarship to attend the University of Michigan and start for the Michigan Wolverines. Derek Jeter also has a younger sister, Sharlee Jeter. Born on November 20, 1979, today, Sharlee is the president of Jeter&#8217;s Turn 2 Foundation. Notably, Sharlee Jeter is a cancer fighter and survivor. Eventually Captain Clutch or Mr. November wasn&#8217;t the first Jeter to enter baseball. Way before Derek became an iconic shortstop, his father, Charles Jeter, played at shortstop at Fisk University in Tennessee. Even Derek&#8217;s sister, Sharlee, was a softball star in high school. A legend of the game: An overview of Derek Jeterâ€™s professional career Although it was the Houston Astros who went first in the 1992 MLB Draft, the Astros picked Phil Nevin instead of the young Derek Jeter. It was the Yankees who picked him as their 6th draft and landed for just $800,000. Yankees scout Dirk Groch, who discovered Jeter&#8217;s talent from his high school in Michigan had described him as a &#8216;five-tool player&#8217; in his scout report. Before Jeter made his MLB debut in 1995, he was highly touted as a top prospect. Baseball America even ranked him as the fourth-best prospect in the league heading into the 1995 season. Despite this, Jeter had a minor setback when he suffered inflammation in his right shoulder while playing in the Arizona Fall League after the conclusion of the 1994 regular season. NEW YORK &#8211; OCTOBER 08: Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees fields a grounder hit by Travis Hafner #48 of the Cleveland Indians in the eighth inning of Game Four of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium on October 8, 2007 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) The New York Yankees had been trophyless for 15 years when Jeter arrived in the Bronx. But little did any baseball fan know that a New Jersey boy was going to change the course of the Yankees&#8217; history in the next 15 years. Debuting in the 1995 season, Jeter became a symbolic figure for the Pinstripes. Unlike every other baseball player, Jeter was more of a leader who always prioritized the team ahead of personal glory. Whenever needed, he also won several games for the Yankees in crunch situations. With 260 home runs from the plate, Jeter also has 1,311 RBIs with a remarkable batting average of .310 to his name. NEW YORK &#8211; NOVEMBER 04: (L-R) Andy Pettitte #46, Jorge Posada #20, Derek Jeter #2 and Mariano Rivera #42 of the New York Yankees celebrate with the trophy after their 7-3 win against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game Six of the 2009 MLB World Series at Yankee Stadium on November 4, 2009 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Pool/Getty Images) Considering his dedication and loyalty to the team, the then Yankees owner George Steinbrenner named Derek Jeter as the official captain in 2003. The legendary Yankees shortstop retired as the captain of the team by the end of the 2014 season. Later, in 2016, the Yankees honored Jeter by retiring his jersey number #2. Derek Jeter, a long-time player for the Yankees, signed a one-year contract worth $12 million for the 2014 season, which was to be his final MLB season. Throughout his farewell tour, Jeter was honored by several other teams with gifts and donations to his Turn 2 Foundation charity. The final home game of Jeter&#8217;s career was played on September 25 and was highly anticipated, with ticket prices reaching an average of $830 on the secondary market. In a fitting finale, Jeter hit a game-winning single against the Baltimore Orioles, bringing the game to a close with a 6-5 victory for the Yankees. Jeter participated in two World Baseball Classic events, representing the United States national baseball team. In 2006, Jeter played shortstop and had a batting average of .450, earning him a place on the All-Tournament Team. He was also named captain of the US team in the 2009 WBC, where he batted .276 in eight games. In a rare instance, he even faced his own team, the Yankees, in an exhibition game during the tournament.
