A Complete Timeline of Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s Relationship

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have reportedly split, according to People. This is shocking news, to say the least. Below, take a look back at their history, which started in 2005…when they first met. 

May 2005: The two first meet at a baseball game at Shea Stadium in Queens, New York, in 2005. Lopez is still married to Marc Anthony, but she stops to shake Rodriguez’s hand before the first pitch.

March 2017: Fast-forward almost 12 years. “They have been dating for a few weeks,” a source tells People in March. “[Alex] has been around her family, and [Jennifer] really likes that he is a dad. She is aware, though, that he is a ladies’ man too and is being cautious. For now, it’s just fun. She is single and enjoys dating.”

Later on that month, Rodriguez confirms their relationship on The View. “It’s obvious, we’ve been having a great time,” he says. “She’s an amazing girl and one of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met and also an incredible mother.”

Then, just hours after his interview, Lopez and Rodriguez are spotted in public together for the first time.
