It’s no secret that singer Jennifer Lopez has found happiness with her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez. But it turns out her 12-year-old son, Max, feels the same way! In a recent interview on February 29, J.Lo, who recently celebrated her 50th birthday, shared how much her son adores A-Rod. If you’re wondering why Max feels this way, keep reading—Jen has the answer.
“Max is the one who’s always getting into mischief around the house,” Jennifer revealed with a laugh. “But Alex is different. He’s the only one who never loses his cool with Max. Alex has an incredible amount of patience with him, even though Max is full of energy and always on the go. He’s such a beautiful and loving boy, but he can be a bit of a troublemaker. You’ll hear ‘Max!’ echoing through the house all the time. Despite that, Alex handles him with such grace and understanding. It’s truly amazing to see how well they connect.”

Emme and Max's Bond with A-Rod Grows Stronger
While Max’s connection with Alex is undeniable, Jen’s 12-year-old daughter, Emme, also shares a special bond with her mom’s fiancé. When Jennifer first started dating A-Rod back in 2017, she didn’t rush things. Instead, she let their relationship naturally evolve in front of the kids. “They really liked him right from the start,” she said. “Even though I never officially introduced him as my boyfriend, they just started seeing him around more and more. We took things slow, little by little, and eased into it.”
However, a pivotal moment came when the couple decided to take a big family trip together. This wasn’t just any trip—it included Jennifer’s kids, Max and Emme, along with Alex’s daughters, Natasha, 15, and Ella, 11. “That was a huge step for us,” Jen recalled. “We talked about it openly with the kids. I asked them, ‘Do you like Alex? Are you okay with spending time with him and his girls?’ It didn’t take long for Max and Emme to realize their mom was with someone truly special. Alex has been there for them through thick and thin, celebrating their highs and supporting them during their lows.”
Alex's Support for Jennifer's Kids
A-Rod’s presence has been a constant source of encouragement for Jennifer’s children. For instance, he was front and center when Emme dazzled the crowd with her incredible singing skills at the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show. And when Jennifer accidentally fell on stage during her It’s My Party tour, Alex was there to pick her up emotionally. To top it all off, he celebrated Max and Emme’s birthdays in the best way possible on February 23.
