Men who look like Alex Rodriguez. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez gave a candid interview to Vanity Fair

Jennifer Lopez is not one of those women who can stay alone for a long time. After a recent breakup with rapper Drake (by the way, 17 years younger), the 47-year-old celebrity did not have time to blink an eye, as a new promising man appeared in her life - 41-year-old baseball player Alex Rodriguez. Next to him, the artist glows with happiness, and at first glance, the athlete seems to be in every respect perfect couple for a brilliant diva. There have already been rumors in the Western media that Alex will soon become Jennifer's fourth husband. However, people from the singer's entourage advise both fans excited by this news and Jennifer herself not to rush to conclusions and prepare for the celebration.

After all, if we analyze, in matters of love, our heroine is used to acting, if not hastily, then certainly with lightning speed, immediately moving from one failed romance to another. In the case of Rodriguez, who has long been known in American show business as a playboy who uses famous lovers to promote himself, she should change tactics. Does Jennifer risk becoming one of the steps on his path to fame, or is a story of great and pure love unfolding before us, the site finds out.

The passionate romance of two beautiful and popular people - singer and actress Jennifer Lopez and 41-year-old Alex Rodriguez - began just four months ago. Today, Jennifer, by her own admission, can no longer imagine life without Alex and mysteriously smiles in response to questions about the future of this relationship, which only adds fuel to the fire.

However, through the chorus of compliments to this undoubtedly spectacular couple, the voices of ill-wishers more and more confidently break through, claiming that Lopez once again runs the risk of being deceived in his expectations if he agrees to become Rodriguez's wife without carefully studying his personal history, full of oddities and scandals.

guiding stars

Skeptics, who have carefully studied the biography of Rodriguez, argue that in relations with Jen, the baseball player uses the ex girls method. The handsome athlete allegedly needs romances with famous ladies in order to constantly flicker in the press and be on everyone's lips. Thus, he receives a variety of, but invariably profitable promotional offers and contracts. He needs them right now...

Currently sports career Rodriguez is out of action due to a recent doping scandal. The swarthy macho man dreams of trying himself as the leading sports channel ESPN. And for this he needs the image of a successful, prosperous and popular man throughout the country. Purely theoretically, the connection with Lopez in this case is what you need.

Every now and then, going out with Jennifer, Alex reminded himself even to those who managed to forget him in the 10 years that have passed since he met with Madonna herself. In the Western media, rumors have been circulating for a long time about Rodriguez leaving the family for the sake of the pop queen.

After his divorce from the mother of his two daughters, psychologist Cynthia Scurtis, Rodriguez began courting comedic blondes Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson almost simultaneously, causing them to quarrel.

Then Alex had an affair with the ex-wife of the Russian creator Sergey's Google Brina and businesswoman Anna Wojitsky. After breaking up with her for unknown reasons and without much fuss, the enterprising baseball player switched to Jennifer Lopez, who just at that moment said goodbye to her young boyfriend Drake and was also in an active search for a new love ...

"Try number five"

In Lopez's personal life, the details of which are known to the whole world today, everything happened - both moments of cloudless happiness and severe disappointments. The latter, of course, is especially interesting to the meticulous public. She was cheated on (recall, the young dancer Casper Smart even eventually preferred a transsexual model to her beloved), she was morally mocked, she was blackmailed with intimate home videos, she was drawn into dangerous showdowns with crime bosses who almost put an end to her career.

Many women who, because of their chosen ones, found themselves in similar situations, in Jennifer's place, they would have long given up on dates and focused on children and work. Many - but definitely not Lopez. Her lovers - from her first husband, the hot Cuban waiter Ojani Noa, to the handsome Hollywood actor Ben Affleck and her own subordinate dancer Casper Smart - succeeded each other as sentries at the post.

The reason for this behavior of the famous Puerto Rican, perhaps, should be sought in her words in an interview: “I was always afraid to be alone and sought solace in another person. After the breakup of relations that no longer suited me, I smiled at my friends as carelessly as possible and said: “Great trouble! You will see, at today's party I will meet my next boyfriend, who will help me unwind and forget about all the worries.

As we described above, Jennifer failed in love for the most different reasons. But at some point, Lopez just got tired of stepping on a rake over and over again. She resolutely stated in an interview: “Before, I put a man on a pedestal, that’s why I made so many mistakes” - and, according to rumors, she swore even to hope for something serious in a relationship.

This happened until Lopez's number was dialed by her longtime acquaintance, famous baseball player Alex Rodriguez, in the spring of this year, and she agreed to have dinner with him.

Concurrence of interests

At first, Jennifer, well aware of Alex's controversial reputation, behaved with him very carefully. But the powerful pressure that Rodriguez, according to rumors, Lopez demonstrated at the first meeting, immediately weakened her resistance.

Alex courted beautifully: according to the stories of the singer's talkative friends, like a true gentleman, he did not skimp on diamonds, romantic trips to the islands - and eventually achieved his goal. In addition, J. Lo could not help but appreciate how much in common between her and Rodriguez. There is one age category, and Hispanic origin, not to mention the love for “heavy luxury” and beautiful secular exits.

Still, Alex is not Ben Affleck, who, meeting with Lopez, was afraid of the need to constantly walk arm in arm with his lady of the heart along the red carpet.

Despite the pitfalls, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez seem to really try hard to get around them.

What can come of such an ambiguous union? Anything. However, as practice shows and psychologists say, in a relationship a woman is often much more vulnerable than a man, and that is why friends beg J. Lo to slow down and not rush things.

Here it is necessary to weigh all the pros and cons and check the sincerity of Rodriguez's intentions. What will Jennifer Lopez do, who, as in poetry, is in a hurry to live and feel in a hurry?

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were two celebrities that no one saw together.

While Lopez often sings about passion, lust and devotion, her personal love life hasn't been as melodic. A series of heartbreaks, engagements, and marriages sour almost anyone at the mere thought of falling in love again. However, the double-threat entertainer allowed Cupid's arrow to hit her again when she began a relationship with former New York baseball player Alex Rodriguez in February 2017.

Rodriguez confirmed that he was hit by Jennie from the block during a March 2017 appearance on The View. “We are having a great time. She's an amazing, amazing girl,” he told the co-hosts of the daytime talk show.

The feeling is definitely mutual. As of this writing, the couple has taken their love bonanza to the air and to various publications, continuously gushing about how infatuated they are with each other. But this does not mean that we have not noticed some specific details about their connections. From Lopez using her music to send A-Rod Messages to the cheating scandal that erupted just months after the couple went public with their romance, here are some of the weird things about Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez's relationship.

They go way back

The first time Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez met face to face, it wasn't love at first sight. In fact, the year was 2005 and Lopez was very much married to his then husband, Latin Coroner Marc Anthony, while Rodriguez was married to his then wife, Cynthia Scurtis.

While attending the New York Yankees vs. New York Mets game where Anthony threw out the first pitch, Lopez and Rodriguez met for the first time, and photographers even captured the exact moment when the destined lovers exchanged courtesies with a friendly handshake. She and Anthony even posed for a picture with Rodriguez sandwiched between them—uncomfortably, though their relationship was strictly platonic at the time.

Twelve years later, the couple went on their first real date. Lopez told Vanity Fair that she brought up their first meeting at the stadium during their dinner conversation. “You don't have to say you remember if you don't,” she told Rodriguez. “Shea Stadium, during the subway series,” he replied.

It sounds like the makings of a rom-com blockbuster, doesn't it?

When Rodriguez was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he was more than willing to take us for a walk down memory street to discuss how he and Lopez reconnected after so many years.

The baseball icon told DeGeneres it all started when he went out for lunch and someone patted him on the shoulder. “I turn around and I don’t recognize this person and it’s Jennifer, but she’s dressed like a Harley in shades of blue,” he recalled of Lopez and her costume. “It took me about four or five seconds and she says, 'This is Jennifer. It's Jennifer.” I'm coming, oh my god, Jennifer. You look so beautiful.” Land for Alex!

In her defense, Lopez told Vanity Fair that she was dressed as a "boy" that day, complete with an outfit consisting of Timberland boots, jeans and curly short hair. So we're reluctant to cut off Rodriguez's time.

After saying goodbye, he went home and contacted the singer that same night, and as they say, the rest is history.

He was brave AF

For their first date, they met at the Bel Air Hotel for dinner, but Rodriguez wasn't sure if it was a real date or just a casual meeting between acquaintances. So he started chatting to keep his nervousness at bay. “So he talks, talks about his plans, about how he just got out of baseball, about how he saw himself married again, about all these things that you usually didn’t talk about on a first date,” said Lopez Vanity Fair. “I don't know if he thought it was a date. I thought it was a date… he was nervous and it was really cute.”

It was only later that evening that Lopez made an announcement that took Rodriguez by surprise. “She told me around the third or fourth inning that she was single,” he said. “I had to get up and go and reorganize my thoughts.”

After regaining his composure in the men's room, Rodriguez returned to his desk and shot Lopez with a text that would change both of their lives. “It says…” you look sexy,” Lopez recalled. EM, yes, we are sure that his “thoughts” were not the only things that needed to be adjusted at that very moment if you caught our drift.

This message, complete with the modern chat acronym, was driving force which took their relationship up a notch. Some girls would be completely turned off by such a brazen text message, but Lopez was obviously digging his daring digital flirtation.

After teaming up with Skrillex and writer Poo Bear, Lopez has been playing "about 20 different songs". When she heard the words for the track "Us", her mind instantly thought of her beau. With lyrics like, “I feel you closer, my love / drop it now, here you go, catch up / can she be with us?” she told us weekly”, when I heard this, I thought: “oh, this is relevant ! Alex and I just met. And I thought, “Oh my God, could it be? Could it be us?"

Since everything has worked out in her favor, this whole story is much less unpleasant. But now that their relationship is heading in the right direction, Lopez has dedicated a second track to the leading person in her life: the 2018 song “El Anillo,” which translates to “the ring.”

“We go into the studio and she says, 'I want you to read the paper,'” Rodriguez told Jimmy Fallon about first learning about the song. “And I'm like, 'Baby, it looks like they're talking about us. And she says, “Yeah, they did it for me.””

Will Rodriguez get inspiration from "El Anillo" and pop the question, or will he run for the hills? We'll find out soon enough.

The “Dear Ben” singer has gone through a series of failed relationships and commitments that have all played out in the public eye, and she even has a few divorces under her belt. Her first marriage to Ohani Noah ended in 1998. She then moved on to backup dancer Chris Judd, but she filed for divorce in 2002 less than a year after she tied the knot. Then there was her 2004 wedding to her longtime friend, Latin singer Marc Anthony. We thought Lopez found her happily, so we were completely stunned when Anthony filed for divorce in 2012.

Despite her relationship history, Lopez is actually open to the idea of ​​walking down the aisle a fourth time. “I believe in marriage,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in March 2018. “And I would like to grow old with someone in serious relationship. But now I'm not forcing anything.”

Even if the fairy tale wedding never happens, the couple is already tied up through a stunning real estate purchase - a stunning $15.3 million New York City apartment, according to Street Easy.

With millions tied up in a new home, we assume the wedding will have to wait, but we can't help but think they're doing something a little bit the opposite - putting the cart before the horse, no?

Allegedly, the scandal did not touch her ... at first

A fitness model named Lauren Hunter claimed she started dating the former baseball player back in 2011. They allegedly kept in touch after Rodriguez started dating Lopez, exchanging a bunch of naughty text messages, according to the national Interrogator.

After the bomb fell, the couple stood on a united front. “Jennifer knows what's going on. Alex was very honest, "a source close to 'if you had my love,'" the singer told People magazine in June 2017. “She doesn't believe he went behind her back ever since they started dating. They both have a past. Jennifer is focused on the present and her future with Alex.”

But if she thought Hunter was a distant memory, she was wrong. Lopez reportedly found out that Rodriguez was still in touch with the woman back in February 2018. "Someone went to Jennifer with new details that Alex was still writing with Lauren and that's what made Jennifer lose him," the insider said. “Of course he said it wasn't physical, and maybe it wasn't, but in Jennifer's book it's still a hoax. They were in love in heels and planned to get engaged. Now Alex's actions have put everything at risk.”

Since his ex-wife has accused him of cheating with Madonna, we hope he's ready to come to his senses and shut down his reputation as an alleged womanizer.

As an eligible and hardworking bachelor, Rodriguez enjoyed a string of high-profile relationships with a variety of beautiful celebrities including actress Kate Hudson. But none of them even come close to how he treats the artist “let's get it loud”.

The athlete's friends told People magazine, "a-rod has always been taken with the beauty and personality of Jennifer Lopez... she's the girl of his dreams." Oh my gosh, how sweet is that?

Well the dream girl deserves the dream offer and wedding ring dreams, right? Well, don't hold your breath on this one. During his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Rodriguez sarcastically told the talk show host, "I'll say it when [the engagement happens], Jimmy, you'll be the first to know."

So what are we standing? If Lopez was truly everything he ever wanted in a woman, he wouldn't think twice about wearing a ring, right?

Company of three

After Hurricane Irma tore through Puerto Rico in 2017, leaving the US decimated and out of power for months on end, Lopez took action to help the people of the Caribbean island. The Puerto Rican-American singer and actress hosted a charity telethon “One Voice: Somos Live! Relief concert in case natural Disasters, in October 2017 to raise money for those in need. And, of course, Rodriguez was by her side throughout the event.

But she also enlisted the help of her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, who is the father of her two children, twins Maximilian and Emme. Of course, he only appeared via satellite from his sold-out Miami concert, but it's still a little strange that her current and former flames were on our screens at the same time.

According to Billboard, threesome, along with their celebrity friends and donors, have raised over $35 million in donations, pledges and contributions, including $9 million from their benefit show. So they definitely came together for a good cause.

They are practically twins

Perhaps Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez get along so well because they are so similar. Rodriguez told Vanity Fair, “We are very twins,” and went on to describe all of their odd resemblances. “We are both Leo; we are both from New York; we are both Hispanic and about 20 other things,” he said.

Lopez backed up his claims by talking about their intense connection. “I understand him in a way that I don't think anyone else could, and he understands me in a way that no one else ever could,” she said. “In his 20s, he achieved great success with the biggest baseball contract [at the time]. I had a #1 movie and a #1 album and I made history. We both had our ups and downs and problems in our 30s, and by the time we were 40 we both had been through a lot. And more importantly, we both did a great job on ourselves.”

There's nothing wrong with a couple having an insane amount of things in common, but we're wondering if dating someone who reflects you will be a recipe for heartache or will it be proven to be a winning formula for J-Rod? Only time will tell.

The American singer performed at a star party on the eve of Super Bowl 2018, during which she turned to her lover Alex Rodriguez, confessing her strong feelings to him, the site reports with reference to Page Six.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez celebrated the anniversary of the relationship having dinner with the children

"We were together for one year. I don't want everything to be soft or something else, but dear, this song is for you. I love you," the star, who appeared in which she previously played, said from the stage former member"Yankees".

It was revealed that even though Lopez was busy rehearsing for the show, she wanted to make sure she could break out and celebrate the occasion together on their anniversary day.

"She was about to run away, but she was delayed," said the source, who added that the pair were spotted at Manny's Steakhouse at 6:30 p.m. before her performance at the party. The couple was supposed to arrive at the restaurant at 5 pm, but the rehearsal of the star was delayed.

"Jennifer really wanted to be with Rodriguez for the anniversary and with their four kids," the source added.

The ex-basketball player has two daughters - Natasha and Ella, and Lopez is raising twins Max and Emma.

Yes, it looks like the relationship between 48-year-old and 42-year-old Alex Rodriguez is getting stronger. The couple gave their first joint interview and told Vanity Fair magazine about their romance, starring for the cover of the new issue of the publication.

Lopez and Rodriguez began with a story about their first date, which took place at the restaurant of the Hotel Bel Air. As the singer admitted, then Alex attracted her attention with his confidence, masculinity and talkativeness. During the first meeting with him, Jennifer told her future lover several times that she was not in a relationship with anyone. It was not difficult for the American baseball player to take the hint, but it was difficult to contain the joy of what he heard, so he went to the toilet to think everything over, from where he wrote her a very bold message.

She told me three or four times that she was lonely. I needed to step back and think about everything. I went to the bathroom and worked up the courage to text her

Rodriguez began.

And so, I'm sitting waiting, he comes back, and I get a message: "You're sexy"

Jennifer laughs, remembering that incident.

Despite the fact that only about six months have passed since the beginning of the relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, they have already managed to get to know each other well. So, the athlete said that best holiday for the singer - at home, in pajamas and with chocolate chip cookies.

She is my role model. She rarely drinks. Tries to sleep for at least eight hours. That explains why she's so beautiful

Rodriguez said proudly.

Lopez explained that their love is built through complete understanding.

We are insanely similar: we are both Leo according to the horoscope, both from New York, we are Hispanic - I can name about 20 more such things. I understand him in a way that no one can, and he me too,

— said the artist.

One of the brightest couples of 2017 - Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez - do not let themselves be forgotten for a minute: news about them appears almost every day. It is all the more interesting to remember how the relationship of lovers began and how Alex managed to win Jennifer's heart.

The annual Costume Institute Ball at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art is an excellent opportunity to show not only new look but also a new boyfriend. Last spring, this opportunity was seized by Jennifer Lopez, who was published along with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. It is noteworthy that the first official exit of the couple took place just two months after the start of the relationship.

About the novel J. Lo and A-Rod became known at the end of March. On the American talk show The View, Rodriguez colorfully spoke about his feelings for Lopez:

We're having a great time together. She is an amazing, amazing girl! And one of the most smart people that I have ever met. Jennifer is an amazing mother, daughter, sister. She loves her family very much. She is also a very simple person. Her little weakness is ice cream and chocolate chip cookies.

Meeting on the field

It is worth noting that Jennifer and Alex have known each other since 2005. Introduced them to each other ex-husband Lopez is a popular salsa performer Marc Anthony. On that day, Rodriguez's New York Yankees and the New York Mets fought at Shea Stadium, for which - judging by his T-shirt - Anthony was rooting. Then Mark could not even think that in 12 years his wife would meet with his friend-athlete.

But at the beginning of 2017, that is exactly what happened.

I was having lunch at a restaurant, eating Cobb salad and Mexican Tortilla soup - when suddenly I saw him, he was passing by. For some reason, I wanted to come up, pat him on the shoulder and say: "Hi, Alex!" That's how we met. And then he texted me and invited me to dinner

Lopez told television show Ellen DeGeneres. When the presenter asked Lopez if they had sex on their first date, Jennifer laughed:

Not! Mom told me not to do this on the first date!

However, the novel began to develop rapidly. After several romantic dinners, Jennifer and Alex went to the Bahamas. Soon, Jay Lo introduced her new boyfriend to her mother Guadalupe - on April 2, the three of them walked around Manhattan. On April 16, the lovers celebrated Easter in the Dominican Republic with their children - Rodriguez's daughters, 12-year-old Natasha and 8-year-old Ella, as well as Emmy and Max, 9-year-old Lopez twins from her marriage to Marc Anthony.

Jennifer really likes that Alex is a father. However, she also knows he's a ladies' man and keeps her eyes open, an insider told People magazine. Lopez has always emphasized that children are a priority for her.

We try to have dinner together. I read somewhere that the more often children sit at the table with their parents, the less often they become drug addicts,

Lopez told in an interview. For Alex, fatherhood also plays a significant role in life: he spends as much time with his daughters as he can, and often publishes joint photos on social networks.

Polygamous nature

FROM ex-wife, psychologist Cynthia Scurtis, Alex Rodriguez broke up in 2008. Cynthia filed for divorce directly because her husband "emotionally distanced himself" from her and the children. The media, not without reason, suspected Rodriguez of numerous betrayals, and Madonna herself, who was then divorcing Guy Ritchie, was recorded as a homeowner. And not just Madonna. Hey Rod generally loves the famous and successful women. True, you can’t accuse him of commercialism: the fortune of one of the highest paid athletes in the world and the owner of the Golden Glove award is estimated at about $ 300 million.

In 2009, he began dating Kate Hudson and then her friend Cameron Diaz. Both complained that the loving baseball player had broken their hearts. Once, Alex was even spotted on a date with Demi Moore! Rodriguez's last girlfriend is businesswoman Ann Wojcicki. By the way, he also went to the Costume Institute Ball with her - in 2016. And in February 2017, it became known that the couple broke up. "Alex is a wonderful person. I adore him, his family and friends, but living in different parts of the country, it is difficult to maintain relationships," said Ann. J. Lo by that time had just broken up with rapper Drake after a short romance.

Pray and love

In the life of Jennifer Lopez, there were many male betrayals: her first husband, Ojani Noah, blackmailed her and threatened to make public their home sex tape, the singer almost got into a shootout with rapper P Diddy, Ben Affleck escaped almost from the crown, with jealous Mark Anthony, she felt "mental, emotional and verbal abuse," and the dancer Casper Smart cheated on Lopez with transsexuals.

But Jennifer does not give up and still believes in a real sincere relationship. She decided to give Alex Rodriguez a chance. "A-Rod has always been fascinated by Jenny from the Bronx. She is just the girl of his dreams," baseball acquaintances say.

A couple of years ago, in an interview with People magazine, the singer admitted:

I have always been afraid to be alone. I looked for solace in another person. Instead of giving myself time to heal my wounds, to be alone, I just said to myself: “So what, another will come and make me forget this pain.

But now the actress thinks differently and is not ready to be content with little: "It's a difficult task to introduce someone into the lives of your children. I kind of ask:" Are you good enough for them? Are you loving and kind enough?" I know what I can give in a relationship. And if I'm going to share with someone my amazing children, my amazing life and my amazing love, then in return I should get something amazing too ... " Let's just hope Alex Rodriguez doesn't disappoint.
