After experiencing multiple heartbreaks, it can be quite difficult to let yourself fall in love again. But Jennifer Lopez is unafraid. And we admire her for that.
In case you didn’t know, J’lo, 49, recently got engaged to her boyfriend of 1 year – former Major League Baseball player Alex Rodriguez. He popped the question during their baecation in the Bahamas. They both made the announcement on Instagram.
Alex posted this photo along with caption: Locking it down. 💙 #FutureMrsRodriguez
On her own page, J.Lo posted a series of photos with caption: ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
As expected, the Internet was in a frenzy following the news. Not just becuase they are such a cute couple and we’re all collectively rooting for them, but also because this will be J-lo’s third marriage and fifth engagement in a lifetime and still, she is not ready to give up on love. She is one brave woman!
J.lo’s personal life has always attracted widespread media attention. From February 22, 1997, to January 1998, she was married to Cuban waiter, Ojani Noa. In 1999, while working on her first album, On the 6, J.lo began dating record producer and rapper Sean Combs a.k.a Diddy. After their breakup, she got into a relationship with former back-up dancer Cris Judd, to whom she was married from September 29, 2001, to June 2002. Following her second divorce due to irreconcilable differences, she commenced a high-profile relationship with actor and director Ben Affleck, to whom she became engaged in November 2002.
In February 2017, she began dating her current fiance, former New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez.
Whilst most people would say staying married is an accomplishment, I personally would say that being in love and not seeking anyone’s validation is the greatest thing. In J’lo’s case, she’s not afraid to let love win over and over again.
In this case, I guess it’s safe to say the fourth time is a charm. J’lo is the modern day Elizabeth Taylor and I love it. Congratulations to them both!
J.Lo’s life gives us hope that no matter how many times love slips through our fingers, if we have an open heart, our happily ever after could just be around the corner too.
