Jennifer Lopez is back on the dating circuit after calling time on her on-again off-again, five-year-long relationship with Casper Smart back in 2015.
And it seems there’s no better way to get back in the game than by dating a former baseball player…
Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez – the same superstar athlete who’s been linked with the likes of Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson and Madonna – has FINALLY confirmed his much-speculated romance with the 47-year-old music icon.
“It’s obvious,” he said while appearing on morning talk show The View on Friday. “We’ve been having a great time.”
The former Yankees player added: “She’s an amazing, amazing girl. One of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met and also an incredible mother.”
When asked to share a secret or two about the “Let’s Get Loud” hitmaker, A-Rod answered: “She just likes simple things. I mean, she’s a very, very simple person. Loves family. Is a great sister. Is a great daughter.”
TOO cute!
WATCH: Alex is absolutely smitten with his new partner. Post continues…
The 41-year-old’s candid interview comes just weeks after news of the pair’s blossoming romance first made headlines.
But J-Rod – as they have become known – were secretly dating long before.
“The couple have been together for at least four months,” a source told the New York Daily News at the time.
Not only have they been spending time together in private, but in February he also attended her Las Vegas show in Planet Hollywood, the arena for her “All I Have” concert residency.
Check out that smile! The pair were spotted together at NYC restaurant Marea.
You know what they say… couples that wear matching outfits together, stay together!
“They were all coupled up behind the scenes, not public, but absolutely not hiding their relationship around close friends and family,” an onlooker revealed. “It is definitely for real.”
Indeed, the pair seem like a match made in relationship heaven. Both have two kids from their exes and both have homes in LA and Miami, so it would be easy to merge their worlds into one.
J-Rod, we’re batting for you!
