Alex Rodriguez is soaking up his final days of family time before he returns to work. The former MLB player shared a gorgeous new photo starring his and fiancée Jennifer Lopez ’s kids—Emme, 12, Max,12, Ella, 12, and Natasha, 15. The blended family was pictured laying down in a circle on the grass as they looked up smiling for the camera. Alongside the photo, the dad of two, who is an analyst for FOX Sports and ESPN, wrote, “Next week, it’s back to the business of baseball for me. But as much as I have missed being around the game, I have cherished the additional time with family for these many months.”
“Moments like these have no offseason. Moments like these are better than winning any championship,” A-Rod continued. “Moments like these are forever. ❤️ #grateful.” Jennifer’s daughter Emme, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, was captured mid-laugh, while the rest of the family flashed bright smiles. The group coordinated in white tops for the candid snapshot.
While Alex will soon be back to commentating baseball, Jennifer is already hard at work. The Dance Again singer returned to the studio in June, teasing new music. Jennifer and Alex were reportedly set to tie the knot this summer, but their wedding has been postponed due to the ongoing health crisis. “We had a lot of plans for this summer and this year but everything is kind of on hold right now,” the Hustlers actress said on the Today show in May. “I’m a little heartbroken because we did have some great plans, but I’m also like, you know what, God has a bigger plan, and so we just have to wait and see. Maybe it’s going to be better. I have to believe that it will be.”
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Alex admitted that he was “incredibly grateful” to spend additional time with his family. “I love spending so much time with these beautiful girls, who still laugh when I make goofy faces in pictures. 🤣,” he captioned a photo of himself with Jennifer and one of his daughters in April.
“Each day I am trying to focus on doing one positive thing for someone else. This is a time where we all need to help each other, and by doing so we will help ourselves remember that this situation may be temporary, but our actions are permanent. Let’s make the most of this time and stay together as a community, even while we are apart with our families,” A-Rod added. “We will come out of this, so let’s do our best to take care of each other. ❤️.”
