Markedly, A-Rod and Jennifer Lopez started dating in 2017. Two years after that, in 2019, A-Rod proposed and the couple proclaimed their engagement. At the time, the two were a power couple that served as a bridge between the worlds of baseball and Hollywood.
Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez walking the ramp
As one would expect, J.Lo had a very strong influence on the Yankee baseman. The baseball star followed his then-fiance Jennifer Lopez’s footsteps all the way to a ramp of a runway show in New York City. A-Rod, who walked at DICK’s Sporting Goods fashion show, took his experience on the ramp to his Instagram account.
The caption of the post said, “From the field, to the streets, to the boardroom, more athletes are leading the way in setting fashion trends than ever before. Had a blast walking in @dickssportinggoods (and my) first ever fashion show. While I would have liked a few more pinstripes, all the Fall and Winter looks were.”
A-Rod added that his two daughters supported him through the show and humorously concluded by saying, “My girls are proud I didn’t embarrass myself.”
A-Rod’s career in the ballpark
A-Rod made his MLB debut in 1994 for the Seattle Mariners. After playing with them for six years, A-Rod moved to the Texas Rangers for two years and finally, reached the most glorious part of his career with the Yankees.
