Alex Rodriguez was once well-known for his baseball prowess, but he left the limelight after he retired from the New York Yankees. However, he became a household name again in 2017 when he confirmed he was dating superstar and singer, Jennifer Lopez. Alex confirmed their relationship on an episode of The View, and later that year, Alex and J.Lo made their first public appearance as a couple at the 2017 Met Gala.
