Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have been doing their part in following the shelter-in-place order that most people have been practicing around the country and the world for the past few months. The couple have been social distancing together in their home in Miami, Florida, along with their four kids—Jen's twins, Max and Emme, and Alex's daughters, Ella and Natasha.

While they do live in a massive mansion and it is definitely easier for them to stay put in a home with a huge backyard, pool, and home gym, they have been doing their best to keep themselves their kids active and entertained with some cool activities. The couple have shared some cute moments together in these dark times and they have been reflecting on how important family is in situations like these.
Max helped fill a void.
Little Max has a special talent that came in handy at this time. While A-Rod and J.Lo can't go out for their usual lunch and dinner dates, they have someone who can serve them up a good drink all while on a hoverboard. "We can’t go out to any restaurants or anything but the service and entertainment here is pretty good… #StaySafe #familytime," J.Lo adorably captioned the post. Pretty cool, right?
This was a different kind of Easter.
Alex and J.Lo tried their best in making this as normal an Easter Sunday as possible. Sure, they couldn't get all dressed up in their best pastel outfits and head to Sunday Mass, but the couple made sure the kids had plenty of fun celebrating the holiday right at home.
The Easter egg hunt was intense.
"Happy Easter! ❤️ With everything going on right now, it felt good to return to a little bit of normalcy for a little to celebrate Easter!" A-Rod captioned this fun video of the kids' extreme egg hunt. "Jen put together an amazing Egg Hunt that the kids absolutely loved and dominated. Ella with the big win too! I hope everyone is having a safe and healthy Easter or Passover. Take a little extra time to call a loved one. Stay tough! ."
They urged people to stay home.
The couple shared along with a sweet video message: "Hi everyone ✨ The best way to stop the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home. @Arod and #IStayHomeFor those on the front lines–the doctors, nurses and technicians that are working so hard to keep everyone safe. Thank you @NYGovCuomo for tagging us. We nominate @jimmyfallon to go next and tell us who you’re staying home for. #NewYorkTough #StopTheSpread."
J.Lo enjoyed some pool time.
The singer has been giving her hair a much-deserved rest during this social distancing period. Since she doesn't have to be glamorous for the cameras, she's wearing her natural waves around the house, as she showed in this gorgoeus photo on Eart Day. "Mother Earth …. Be conscious of how you treat her. Love her and she will keep you forever. #HappyEarthDay," she captioned the pic.
Jennifer celebrated nurses.
The actress shared a sweet message from home for nurses on National Nurses Day. "In celebration of #NationalNursesDay, I wanted to send a special thanks to you. We love you, we are with you and we are so thankful for everything you are doing! ✨ ," she captioned this pic.
The couple has been sharing some sweet moments together.
This photo of J.Lo embracing her beau while he read the Sunday paper is so cute. "When the headlines look like this, it’s so important to hug the ones you love a little tighter and tell them how much you love them. #LifeIsPrecious #Grateful #SundayMood," she captioned this sweet post.
Working out is part of their lifestyle.
You don't look as good as J.Lo and A-Rod without putting in work. The couple has been working out during this downtime, as we should all be. It's important to stay in shape and healthy so that in any event, our bodies are fit and ready to fight anything that comes our way.
They have been going on bike rides.
This is such a good time to spend time outdoors, but doing so safely with the right gear. A-Rod took a selfie of his bike ride with his lady in May, and it's so sweet. "Who wants to join us on our bike ride? #mondaymotivation," the athlete captioned this sweet pic.
Alex has taken this time to relax.
The former Yankees star has been doing a lot of self-reflection and relaxation in this time. "The biggest benefit to spending so much time at home is being with family. Sometimes we get so busy in our lives, it’s easy to lose sight of how important family time is to all of us," he captioned this post. "Don’t let this time pass by without making the most of it. Hug your loved ones. Every day. Relax … together. Laugh … together. Smile … together. Be … together. ❤️"
Alex has been reading a lot.
The athlete knows that while it's important to exercise the body, the mind needs to be fed as well. "Benefit from your additional time at home by reading, especially by choosing books that can help educate you," he captioned this post of his books. "Find something that interests you and never stop learning! These are some of the books I’m immersed in right now. What’s on your reading list?"
He's learning to master another sport.
A-Rod is making sure he uses this time to learn new skills, like golf. "One way I like to relax my mind is by taking some swings, although I’m better with a bat and a baseball. ⛳️- ⚾️," he captioned this video. "Hey @tigerwoods & @rickiefowler ! How am I doing?!"
Playing games that keep you entertained is key.
Whether it's Connect Four or any other board game, having these around the house really comes in handy when there is nothing else to do. The key is to find ways to stay entertained that are also a good way to spend time with each other, and not just scrolling through our phones all day.
They've been attending at-home concerts.
The music industry has been putting together some cool shows and concerts to keep people united and entertained while we are all at home. "We are beyond honored to convert our back yard to a makeshift stage so we could be a part of tonight’s 'One World: Together at Home' show," A-Rod captioned this cute pic. "Tune in now and check out all of the incredible performances by these amazing artists … and most of all, stay safe everyone. ❤️"
Alex wants his kids to know baseball is more fun than TikTok.
"Baseball is more fun than Tik Tok. ," he wrote. "Not sure the kids actually believed me, but hey, I got their attention anyway. And as much fun as shooting those videos are, for me nothing compares to a little Sunday baseball with the family in the yard. We had a blast today, working on defense and then taking some swings. Afterward, we traded in the ⚾️ and bats to work on a different stroke. I’m definitely not as skilled with a paint brush but it was a lot of fun. How are you making the most of your Sunday at home? Stay safe! ❤️"
They had a social distancing party.
Alex's youngest daughter, Ella, celebrated her birthday during the social distancing period. While the couple was criticized for throwing her a birthday party in a park, they still tried to keep it safe by wearing masks. "The birthday girl!! Definitely was a different kind of celebration this year, but I’ll take this reaction every time. Love you, #EllaBella ❤️," the proud dad captioned this post of himself with his girl.
They paid homage to Gigi Bryant together.
The family celebrated Gianna Bryant's birthday in May, after she died in January. "Happy Birthday, Gigi," the babseball star captioned the pic. "We miss you. You are always in our hearts. Today we wore these red bracelets in honor of you, to symbolize love and life. I think of you, Mambacita, and your dad everyday. We love you. #PlayGigisWay."
Alex has a lot to be grateful for.
Alex kept things in perspective with this reflective posts about what he was appreciating during that time: "One thing I’m incredibly grateful for right now is getting to spend additional time with my family. I love spending so much time with these beautiful girls, who still laugh when I make goofy faces in pictures. 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."
He added: "I hope you are doing OK and are doing your best to keep your spirits up. Try to do something positive today, like texting someone you haven’t spoke to recently just to say hello. Be grateful for the people in your life. You’ll brighten their day, and then ask them to pay it forward and reach out to someone else to do the same. Stay safe and spread love! We will come out of this, so let’s do our best to take care of each other. ❤️."
They also made some TikTok videos together.
Like a lot of people, the couple has been spending some time making some adorable TikTok videos together during this time to provide some entertainment for their fans. We love this couples challenge they did and it helped us learn about the dynamics in their relationship.
They had a cool family volleyball game.
Getting the kids to spend time outdoors these days is crucial. Screentime should be limited and if you have a backyard like this family, why not enjoy some type of physical activity together outdoors? It will help the time pass while building some great memories together.
