Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez and music superstar Jennifer Lopez are getting married. The happy couple began dating in February of 2017, and on Saturday, Rodriguez tweeted “she said yes,” and shared a photo of the jaw-dropping engagement ring he proposed with.
Back in 2017, Rodriguez and Lopez shared a tremendous – and slightly awkward – story from his first date with Lopez. According to A-Rod, he didn’t know if their first date was actually qualified as a “date,” so he decided to test the waters by sending Lopez a text message from the bathroom.
Via Vanity Fair:
Then: “She told me around the third or fourth inning that she was single,” he says. “I had to get up and go re-adjust my thoughts. I went to the bathroom and got enough courage to send her a text.”
“So I’m sitting there and he’s walking back, and I get a text,” Lopez continues. “It says . . . ” She looks significantly at Rodriguez. “You can tell her!” he says. “ ‘You look sexy AF,’ ” she tells me. They both laugh. “And then it took a turn,” Lopez says. “The fire alarm went off, and we had to evacuate.” I laugh, thinking she’s being metaphorical. “No, really,” she says. “The fire alarm went off!”
Congratulations to the happy couple.
