Apparently, Alex Rodriguez Wanted To Date Jennifer Lopez In 1998

Alex Rodriguez has had a crush on Jennifer Lopez for years and a newly-surfaced interview from 1998 proves his longtime devotion for the pop superstar.

In the throwback clip, which Rodriguez shared via Instagram on Tuesday (June 4), the then-22-year-old MLB player is asked about his dream date. "Jennifer Lopez. Hopefully, you can find me a date with her," he tells a reporter without any hesitation. "I just had a feeling," A-Rod captioned the throwback footage and the romantic sentiment was clear on Lopez's side, too. "OMG…I love this too much," she replied.

Back in October 2018, Rodriguez took to the social media platform to share a personalized autographed photo that Lopez signed for him during her J Lo era campaign. #TBT to almost 20 years ago when a big time global pop superstar signed a pic for a young ball player," he captioned the framed black and white shot, adding the hashtags #lifecanbeafunnythingsometimes #pictureperfect #keepsake #jlo."

As you know, the duo got engaged while vacationing in March in Barkers Bay, Bahamas, with Lopez receiving an estimated $1 million dollar sparkler. "I rehearsed three days in a row because I wanted the sunset to be perfect," he explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "One time the sunset was at 6:27, the next day it was like 6:29 and then the third day, it was raining. So, I kind of came out around 6:29 and said, 'This is the time I'm going to do it' and it worked out well."
