Jennifer Lopez’s love life has attracted widespread media attention. From February 1997 to August 2016, she has been romantically linked to several men at different times and of course, broken up or gotten divorced for various reasons during that period of time. Since February 2017, however, she has been dating former New York Yankees baseball player, Alex Rodriguez, who is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. The pair announced their engagement in March 2019.

A-Rod, as he is famously known, spent his first seven seasons as a pro with the Seattle Mariners after he was selected first overall in the 1993 MLB draft. The next three seasons were with the Texas Rangers after which he joined the New York Yankees, spending twelve seasons there before retiring in August 2016. The 14-time All-Star won three American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, ten Silver Slugger Awards, and two Gold Glove Awards. He further holds several other records, including being the youngest ever to hit 500 home runs and the only player in MLB history to amass over 600 home runs (696), over 2,000 runs batted in, over 2,000 runs scored, over 3,000 hits, and over 300 stolen bases.

Lopez and Rodriguez appear to be getting along fine, making financial decisions together and also looking for a befitting home that would contain their family that includes four kids. Jennifer’s relationship with Alex has seen her play the role of mother to his kids; Natasha and Ella, who he had with his first wife Cynthia Scurtis. Natasha was born on November 18, 2004, while Ella was welcomed on April 21, 2008. The other two children are Lopez’s twins; Max and Emme, who were born on February 22, 2008, while she was still married to Marc Anthony.

Emme appears to be following in the footsteps of her mother by having a showbiz career. She has already gotten to perform in front of millions of people when she appeared alongside her mother during the 2019 halftime Super Bowl show. The soon-to-be teenager is also set to release a children’s picture book about prayer inspired by sloths titled Lord Help Me.

Emme’s twin Maxi is not left out of the spotlight as he seems to be working on an acting career. The young boy was recently in a youth production of the Wizard of Oz which his mother was quick to share on Instagram. It’s not surprising to see he is also an excellent singer like his parents and twin.
