After two years of dating, Jennifer Lopez, 49, and Alex Rodriguez, 43, are officially engaged! Jennifer shared the amazing news on her Instagram on Mar. 9 by posting a pic of the enormous engagement ring that Alex gave her. In addition to the photo of the huge rock, J.Lo simply captioned her post, writing, “♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.” While it’s hard to make out due to the focus of the picture, the photo seems to have been captured on a beach with what appears to be a bonfire in the background. A rep for Lopez has since confirmed her and Rodriguez’s engagement to HollywoodLife with the following statement: “Benny Medina, Jennifer’s long time manager, confirmed Jennifer and Alex are engaged!”
Jennifer and Alex were spotted just one day before there huge engagement news on a tropical getaway on Mar. 8. The former New York Yankees star not only posted a selfie on the beach, but J.Lo stunned in a green bikini in the picture’s background. We reported earlier in Jul., 2018 that Alex wanted his proposal to be special. “Jennifer makes Alex a better man, she completes him, and together they feel like they can conquer the world,” a source close to A-Rod told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “Alex wants to spend the rest of his life with Jennifer, he’s finally met his soul mate, and he knows without doubt that he’s found his perfect woman. Now, he’s just got to find the right moment to propose. He wants it to be absolutely perfect.”
J.Lo went on Ellen on Feb. 13 to talk about the sweet gift Alex got her for their two-year anniversary on Feb. 3: personal phone call from Fixer Upper‘s Joanna Gaines. She said, “[C]ome our anniversary, it was like a Sunday, he was like, ‘I want you to do a meeting,” and I hate meetings. He loves meetings, you know, I’m always dragged into these business meetings. ‘I want you to do this meeting with us for this architect for the house. He’s like, ‘We’re not going to spend a ton of money,’ and I’m like, ‘OK.’ Then, he opens up the FaceTime, and it’s Joanna Gaines!”
There has been engagement speculation for J.Lo and A-Rod for a while now, especially after Jennifer released “El Anillo” in Apr., 2018. Later, Lopez would go on the Tonight Show to confirm that the son was “definitely” about wanting a boyfriend to propose. “No pressure,” she told Jimmy Fallon. “But I felt like all women get to a point where they say, ‘OK, what’s up? We’re good, everything’s great, so… what’s going on?’
