Rodriguez and Lopez first met back in 2005, when the singer's then-husband, Marc Anthony, threw out the first pitch at a Mets versus Yankees game.
Rodriguez played for the New York Yankees for years before announcing his retirement from baseball in 2016.
In winter 2016, Lopez spotted Rodriguez in Beverly Hills and they reconnected.
Lopez was eating lunch after filming a promo for her NBC television show "Shades of Blue." She saw Rodriguez walk by the restaurant and tapped him on the shoulder after going outside.
"I almost yelled out 'Alex,' but I am the shyest person when it comes to things like that," she told Vanity Fair in October 2017.
For their first date, Lopez said that Rodriguez "was nervous, and it was really cute."
"I didn't know if it was a date," Rodriguez told Vanity Fair. "Maybe we were seeing each other at night because of her work schedule. I went in uneasy, not knowing her situation."
Either way, he said, "It would be incredibly productive for me to sit with one of the smartest, greatest women in the world ... I thought it would be a win-win no matter what."
