You know what I enjoy? I enjoy the fact that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are both richer than God and they still take on cheesy advertising contracts for some extra cash. I also enjoy the fact that Jennifer Lopez would never speak to People Magazine about her engagement UNTIL she had to shill for her new sponsorship. That’s how People got Alex and Jennifer on the record in this week’s issue – they’re shilling for their joint contract with Australian eyewear label Quay. People Mag even got an exclusive first look at their print ad (you can see it here). Because Jen and Alex are total pros, they also gave People some quotes about the engagement. Some highlights:
J-Rod says they’re happy: Jen says, “We’re really happy.” Alex says, “We have [an] appreciation for where we are in our lives today, and that’s what we’re enjoying the most.”
Jen on Alex: “Everything that we do, we do together. He knows my dreams and I know his dreams, and together we feel like we’re stronger.”
Jen on Miami: “We all come down here and it’s our city, it’s our second home.”
Alex will be around while Jennifer works: “I don’t have to play 162 games anymore, so I have a lot of time on my hands.”
Jen on how they support each other: “We’re constantly supporting each other in our individual endeavors and thinking about all the things that we can build together,” Lopez says. Adds Rodriguez: “We are very grateful.”
Maybe it’s because I sat here and culled all of People Mag’s fluff from the article, but don’t these quotes come across as somewhat… perfunctory? Bordering on terse? I just think that with the Jose Canseco eruption, J-Rod probably feels like their happy engagement announcement got steamrolled. Maybe they’re still salty about it. Or maybe this was an engagement band-aid. When we were recording our podcast this week, CB asked me if they’ll even make it down the aisle (note: CB cut that part, but we did talk about it). I’m starting to wonder too.
Here are some photos of J-Rod out and about in New York this week.

No I don’t like no-eyebrow A-Rod. Sorry.
Seconded! Some take away the tweezers!
JLo – “He knows my dreams and I know his dreams” 🙄
The jokes write themselves.😄😄😄😄😄
She is an irritant and ego maniac like Arod, I wonder if she knows the dreams of the tortured alligator she’s using as purse. F off Jlo who somehow has a rare 4th soul mate🙄
They are perfect for one another.
Yes I think so too! The brand! The money that will roll in! This is why I think they will last.
Ahhhh, The Brand™. If they can get back on-brand (they seem*off* lately, so they at least have to let the infidelity rumors die back down…temporarily), the show WILL go on!
I bet that scarf is real fur. So tacky.
If it is – terrible terrible terrible, she should be ashamed.
Not to mention that Hermès bag! I think that’s their extremely expensive albino alligator skin version? So disturbing!
Did you hear how the alligator it killed? 😢
what is up with the way they both hang their mouths open?
“I don’t have to play 162 games anymore, so I have a lot of time on my hands.”
AKA
“Look ma, I can cheat with both hands now! I was bad enough before I retired, but I’m really gonna blow your minds!”
A-Roidy’s coat is far too similar to the fabric on my new favorite Les Coyotes de Paris long coat.
Party foul, he has to burn his. Along with J. Lo’s awful fur scarf of death.
