How did Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez meet?

The first time the two met was at a baseball game on May 21, 2005, where Rodriguez and the rest of the New York Yankees played the New York Mets, according to Cosmopolitan. At the time, Lopez was married to Marc Anthony, who is also the father of their twins Max and Emme. Rodriguez was married to his then-wife, Cynthia, who is the mother of his two kids, Natasha and Ella.

Jennifer Lopez revealed how she and Alex Rodriguez met (again) while on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in the spring of 2017. “I was having a Cobb salad and some soup. I saw him walk by, and then afterward I went outside. But for some reason, I felt like tapping him on the shoulder and saying hi. I said, “Hi, Alex” and he said, “Hi, Jennifer.” That’s how we met.”

Rodriguez explained his version of how they met in an April 2018 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He explained that he had been annoyed because he forgot where he parked his car when Lopez tapped him on the shoulder.

“I do not recognize this person, and its Jennifer, but she’s dressed up as Harlee from Shades of Blue. And she’s in her jeans and her big boots, and it took me about four, five seconds and she said, “It’s Jennifer, It’s Jennifer!” “Oh my god, Jennifer. You look beautiful!”

Their first date

A few hours after the tap on the shoulder, Rodriguez called Lopez and asked her out to dinner, according to an interview they gave with Vanity Fair. They had dinner together where Rodriguez didn’t stop talking. “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,” Lopez said.

When Lopez confirmed their dinner was a date, Rodriguez had to take a break from their conversation. “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,” Rodriguez said. As he walked back to the table, Lopez got the text, which read, “You look sexy AF,” Lopez said. At that moment, the fire alarm went off in the restaurant and they had to leave.
