Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez seemed like a perfect match when they coupled up in 2017. The former Yankees superstar and the pop icon, who got engaged in 2019, appeared especially well suited when it came to their business sense and entrepreneurial interests.
During their four-year relationship, Rodriguez and Lopez jointly invested in a number of ventures, according to Forbes, including tech companies, a telehealth startup, and Lopez’s own JLo Beauty line. They also unsuccessfully bid for an ownership stake in the New York Mets baseball team. “Alex made me realize as an artist, I was a scarce asset, and the business world was searching for people like us so they can build billion-dollar businesses,” Lopez told Forbes in late 2020. “He got me comfortable with investing my own money into other companies and into myself.”
Despite their shared business interests, tabloid-minted moniker (“J-Rod”), and blended family (her twins, Max and Emme; his kids, Natasha and Ella from his previous marriage), Rodriguez and Lopez ultimately couldn’t make their very lucrative partnership work. As reported by People, sources claimed it was JLo who ended their engagement in 2021 as infidelity rumors swirled around Rodriguez. A source allegedly told the magazine that “too many issues” were “unresolved” and that Lopez ultimately decided to move on. However, it reportedly took Rodriguez a bit of time to get over his ex (via E! News).
