Is Jennifer Lopez Engaged? New Details About The Video Suggesting A-Rod Proposed
What a ring!
instagram Are Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez engaged?
The couple first started officially dating in March 2017 after both J-Lo and A-Rod broke things off with Drake and Anne Wojcicki, their respective ex-significant others. Despite a source telling People at the time that Lopez was “being cautious” with Rodriguez considering his “ladies’ man” reputation, it appears the two have stayed strong over the past year.
“She is an amazing, amazing girl,” Rodriguez told Jimmel Kimmel in October 2017. Amazing enough to propose, A-Rod?
In August 2018, J-Lo and A-Rod sent rumors flying when Lopez posted a series of photos on Instagram of her wearing a big ‘ol ring on THAT finger.
Soon after, A-Rod appeared as a Today co-host and addressed the engagement rumors. He confirmed that he gave her the ring around Valentine’s Day of 2018, but said, “no we’re not engaged.”
A-Rod’s denial didn’t last long, however, because rumors have surfaced again that he and Jennifer Lopez are engaged thanks to a video that Rodriguez himself posted to Instagram. The video shows the couple at Fenway Park for a World Series game. A-Rod asked J-Lo to show him “the sign,” after which she lifts her hand to make motions and shows off a huge, sparkling diamond ring.
Fans have unsurprisingly taken “the sign” and run with it, commenting ring emojis on the post and congratulating them on their “engagement.”
While neither A-Rod nor J-Lo has confirmed the news, an engagement wouldn’t be all that surprising. In fact, Rodriguez told Ellen DeGeneres that the day he met J-Lo was the “luckiest day of his life.”
The couple’s relationship has appeared strong over the past year and a half. “Jennifer has never felt more loved and taken care of than with Alex. He is her biggest fan,” a source told People about their relationship in June 2017. “He supports and encourages her every day. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.”
It also appears Rodriguez may be trying to get his finances in order. TMZ reported that Rodriguez is currently in the midst of a spousal and child support battle with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis. According to TMZ, Rodriguez claims he is paying Scurtis way too much now that he’s no longer playing professional baseball.
Is he financially preparing for a wedding with J-Lo? Only time will tell!
