Ever since Alex Rodriguez and J.Lo hooked up, they've been described as one of the most adorable couples within celebrity circles. To most of us, Jennifer Lopez is a household name. She has graced our radios and playlists with hit songs and graced our TVs and movie theatres with some great entertainment productions.
But who is Alex Rodriguez?
Baseball fans all know his name. However, if you're not into baseball, his name might not be that familiar to you. Even people who know nothing about baseball caught wind of his name around 2017 because he hit a home run with J.Lo during that year. The former New York Yankee was a favorite among baseball fans, but maybe not with J.Lo’s former husband, who probably always rooted for the opposing team.
