Let’s talk about a man who knows how to have fun—and maybe steal a little spotlight. Alex Rodriguez was absolutely thrilled to watch his fiancée, Jennifer Lopez, light up the stage during her unforgettable 2020 Super Bowl halftime performance. But let’s be real, A-Rod couldn’t resist the opportunity to join in on the action himself. In true Alex style, he decided to have some fun with it during the rehearsals.
Alex Takes the Stage… Sort Of
After the legendary “Jenny From the Block” singer delivered her iconic performance at the 54th annual Super Bowl, the former baseball star shared a hilarious video from rehearsals where he pretended to be one of J.Lo’s supporting vocalists. Now, before you picture Alex belting out hits like “On the Floor,” let’s just say he wasn’t exactly front and center. In fact, he was so far back that it became the punchline of his post.
“When Jen told me I could be a background singer, man, she wasn’t kidding,” Alex, 44, captioned the video. “Waaaay in the background,” he added with a playful wink, tossing in hashtags like “Can you find me,” “Tall guy with shades on,” and “J.Lo Super Bowl challenge.” Let’s just say, this was a man having a blast—and clearly, he was in on the joke.

Blending In—or Trying To
In the delightful clip, Alex joins Jen and a group of adorable leotard-clad kids, including the brunette beauty’s 11-year-old daughter Emme, as they practice their routines. Amid the sea of little dancers, Alex attempts to blend in, but let’s face it—there’s no hiding a 6-foot-3 former baseball star. It’s impossible not to spot him in the back, trying his best to keep up with the choreography. The internet couldn’t help but laugh at the sheer joy and humor in Alex’s performance.
Fans of the dynamic duo, who started dating in 2017 and announced their engagement in March 2019, were quick to chime in on Alex’s post. One fan joked, “You’re the tallest one there, of course we can see you.” Another commenter hilariously pointed out, “You’re also a count off on the choreography lol.” But perhaps the sweetest comment came from a fan who wrote, “Loved it, you are always supporting her, that’s why she’s keeping you for good.”
Alex’s Pride in Jennifer’s Performance
After the Second Act star delivered her highly anticipated halftime show, Alex wasted no time expressing his admiration. He took to Instagram just moments after the show ended to gush about Jen, who shared the stage with fellow Latin music icon Shakira. “AMAZING!! She ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT! Wow, that was so fun!” Alex wrote, sharing a heartwarming video of him dancing around the field with his daughters Natasha, 15, and Ella, 11. “I’m so proud of you, Jen!”

Alex wasn’t the only one praising his future family member. His daughters, Ella and Natasha, whom he shares with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, were also quick to express their admiration for their future step-sister, Emme. Emme, who the “Get Right” singer shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, alongside her twin brother Max, stole the show with her incredible performance.
“My favorite part was when the little girls came out and Emme sang—it was really good,” Ella told Entertainment Tonight after the show. Natasha echoed the sentiment, adding, “It was the coolest thing to watch my stepsister sing. I’m so proud of her every time I see her and her voice is just angelic.” Clearly, this family has plenty to celebrate!
With such a strong bond and mutual support, it’s clear that Jennifer and Alex have built an amazing, solid family. Here’s to many more moments of love, laughter, and stealing the spotlight!
