“I think we’re both in a good place in our lives,” she says. “And I think maybe if we would have met in our twenties, maybe not so much…. we were both… we’re too crazy.

Like Lopez, Rodriguez, 43, echoed the idea that learning from the past has contributed to their current relationship success.
“To be honest, if this happened when we were in our twenties, it would have never happened,” the former World Series Champ revealed onToday. “It was just too much craziness. I wasn’t mature enough. You know, boys, we got to get our dumbness out of the way.”

In April, Lopez, who has been dating the retired baseball player since March 2017,released the single“El Anillo,” which features lyrics that translate to “I have never felt anything this grand/And your wild side drives me crazy/You’ve given me so much that I’ve been thinking/I already have it all, but/When will I get the ring?”
“Jennifer doesn’t normally get excited much…but this is one time where I saw her get choked up,” Rodriguez said onToday. “It was such an emotional [moment], such a great deal, to celebrate over 25 years of her career. And the fact that it’s named after Michael Jackson, someone who she idolizes, she’s super excited.”
