Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are engaged
J-Rod is tying the knot.
“She said yes ♥️,” Alex Rodriguez, 43, announced on Instagram, captioning a photo of the massive engagement ring on Saturday night.
Jennifer Lopez, 49, posted the same photo with many heart emojis.
A-Rod’s rep confirmed the good news to Page Six.
The couple, who have been dating for a little over two years, has been posting photos from their tropical getaway over the weekend.
“I would love to grow old with somebody in a committed relationship. But I’m not forcing anything right now,” Lopez revealed in the April 2018 issue of Harper’s Bazaar when talking about Rodriguez.
“It’s good, it’s healthy; we communicate well. We understand each other’s lives in a way that most other people couldn’t.”
Previously just acquaintances, Lopez revealed to James Corden in May of 2017 that starting a romantic relationship with Rodriguez wasn’t too difficult.
“I just tapped him on the shoulder and said ‘hi’ — that was it,” she dished.
And the rest seems to be history, as the couple, both parents with children from previous relationships, now have wedding planning ahead of them.
J.Lo’s twins, Max and Emme, are from her marriage to singer Marc Anthony, which ended in 2014. Rodriguez’s daughters, Natasha and Ella, are from his marriage to Cynthia Scurtis, which ended in 2008.
Lopez was also previously married to Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003 and Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1999.
And as for the J-Rod nickname? Since J.Lo doesn’t mind it, maybe it’ll make their wedding stationery.
Later Saturday, the Major League Baseball Twitter account quipped, “@AROD delivers another ring to The Bronx.”
A-Rod retweeted the good wishes, joking, “I’m glad I didn’t have to wait 16 years for this yes,” a reference to how long he waited in the major leagues for his first World Series ring.
