The more things change, the more they stay the sameat least for Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez . While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, A-Rod watched a clip of himself Jimmy unearthed from 1998, in which he called Jennifer Lopez his "dream date." Back then, he was just a 23-year-old player on the Mariners, talking about his future fianc like they'd probably never meet. Of course, now the power couple is getting married.
"That means that dreams actually do come true in America," A-Rod said, reacting to the video in the most adorable.
"Not only did you date her, you're marrying her!" Jimmy pointed out.
"But Jimmy, it took me twenty years," he replied. "And by the way, the swagger with the hat back and the gum, you gotta be young to be that cocky and that confident. Young and stupid."
ICYMI, A-Rod and J.Lo got engaged in March 2019 , during a trip to the Bahamas. "When it happened, I think it was the right timewe knew," Jennifer said in an interview with the Morning Mash Up on SiriusXM Hits 1 about the big moment. "It's great to have a best friend and a partner you can really build with, and I just feel like, with Alex and I, that's what it's like."
As for where the big wedding will take place, they haven't chosen a venue yet, but Jimmy offered his thoughts. "I have a good idea," the late night host said. "The Super Bowl. She's doing the halftime show , everyone would love it. It would be the first time anyone's done it, it's like a hundred million people watching. No one's ever done a wedding during the Super Bowl halftime show. It would just be epic, come on."
"A hundred million people, we're trying to think a little bit smaller," A-Rod replied with a laugh. "More like a hundred people, maybe."
