Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were a match made in New York City — literally.
The beloved New Yorkers found love with one another nearly a decade after first meeting at a baseball game in Queens, though A-Rod has hinted in the past the pair may have met even earlier than that. At first, the pair kept it quiet but their silence was short-lived. After just two months of dating, they went public, and they never looked back.
From gracing magazine covers to attending events on behalf of their significant other, the pair have quickly grown to be known as one of Hollywood's biggest "power couples."

We are meant to be, and how much you mean to me cannot be put into words," he wrote, in part. "From baseball games, to traveling across the world to shows in Vegas. We have done it all together and every moment with you is cherished. Where this road will take us next is unknown but there is no one else I would rather have by my side. The journey is just beginning and I am excited for what’s ahead."

Likewise, Lopez also humble-bragged about her number one fan in a sweet post.
"Two years of laughter. Two years of fun. Two years of adventures.Of excitement of growing and learning. Of true friendship. And so much love!! You make my world a more beautiful safe and stable place... in the midst of our ever-changing, ever-moving life... you make me feel like a teenager starting out all over again...
