Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez started dating in February 2017. They've since managed to form a strong bond, not just as a couple but as a family with their kids. Their beautiful blended family speaks to the fact that family really does come first for these two no matter how busy they are career-wise. This celebrity couple makes sure their kids remain a priority no matter what, and they go above and beyond to make sure to spend a lot of time together as a group. Every time J.Lo and A-Rod post a family portrait, it's like you can feel the love that they all have for each other, and it's a beautiful thing.

J.Lo and Alex got engaged in March 2019, but before taking that step, they ensured that their kids got along and that they also approved of them getting married. Alex seems to be super close with Jen's twins, Emme and Max, and Alex's daughters, Natasha and Ella, look like they love spending time with their dad's lady love. And that's really all two single parents could ask for! Even though Jen and Alex haven't gotten married yet, it is obvious that they are already a beautiful blended family. Here's a look at a few of their family pics that prove it!
Check out this family tree!
Jennifer posted this picture on Labor Day 2020 and wrote, "Wishing everyone Peace and Love ❤️ Happy Labor Day!" We love how the kids are all up on the branches of the tree while Jennifer and Alex stand proudly below. And notice how Jen serves up glamour with a face that radiates confidence.
But you know Jennifer wasn't going to let the kids have all the fun.
No, Ms. Lo got high, climbing into the tree herself while Alex stayed with both his feet firmly planted on the ground. Also, notice how Jennifer has her hair down instead of in the tight, pulled-back style she had in the other photo. Does she have a glam squad off to the side somewhere, or is she really good at changing her hair looks on her own? Curious minds want to know.
All wrapped up in each other's arms.
This photo is from the same Labor Day 2020 shoot. There's no tree in this shot, but that just lets you see how much everyone loves each other. Look at how this crew has no issues being all up close and personal. They lovingly wrap their arms around each other and exude affection. They could not be more adorable.
They are beyond picture perfect!
This picture makes us wish that this family had their own TV show. Can't you just picture this as part of the intro to a show all about their blended family? Make it happen, Jen and Alex. Make it happen. We would totally tune in. They all look so dang happy and picture perfect.
They celebrated Father's Day together.
"Feeling super blessed and grateful to have this bunch with me today. ❤️ ," wrote Alex when he shared this picture of his 2020 Father's Day celebration. He definitely deserves to be showered with love and attention because he puts a lot of love and effort into being a good dad.
From that time Jennifer called Natasha her "favorite teenager."
On November 18, 2020, Jennifer posted this sweet pic of herself with Natasha, Alex's daughter. "Wishing my favorite teenager a very happy 15th birthday!!! May you forever keep illuminating the people around you with your infectious light ✨. I love you and hope you have the best day. #Tashi," Jennifer wrote on Instagram.
What is A-Rod's top priority?
It's family. We know because when he shared this photo on August 13, 2019, he wrote, "This is what matters most. #FamilyFirst ❤️." He makes sure that his girls and Max come first, no matter what! We love that about him, because we feel the same way about our own families.
Pajama and phone time for the boys.
Check out J.Lo's son, Max, and Alex standing there looking like mirror images of each other. Jennifer wrote that they were "twinning," and they totally were. It's great that Max and Alex have developed a bond where they feel like twinning is fun and are totally comfortable sharing a twinning moment like this with the world.
The girls after a show.
Jennifer is probably tired after a show, but never too tired to hang with her best girls. She wrote, "Me and mine ❤️ #postshow," to explain what was going on in this pic. These four must have such great girl time moments together. It's sweet how much they seem to enjoy being together.
A night with family is worth more to Alex than any other night.
Here's A-Rod's mathematical formula for calculating the worth of any given night: "A night with family > any other night." That's math we can all understand. The fact that Alex's ex-wife can join him and J.Lo for dinner and everything goes well is pretty awesome!
This is what winning looks like.
"Undefeatable at the Garden. #MiFamilia ❤️," Alex captioned this photo, and he's not wrong. Look at how happy he and Jennifer look surrounded by their blended family, including Jennifer's niece. Jennifer and Alex must be a great tía and tío, don't you think?
Guess what they were celebrating in this picture?
The caption that A-Rod included says it all: "Today, we all celebrate the amazing freedoms we have as Americans. From our family to yours, have a happy and safe #July4th holiday everyone! ." They were celebrating July 4, 2019. We're loving Emme's braids.
This is the closest that Alex gets to playing baseball these days.
"Closest thing I get to playing baseball nowadays is a game of fetch with Lady ❤️ #Emme," wrote the former Yankee when he posted this picture. And guess who feels sorry for him? Absolutely no one! Just look at the smile on his face. He's doing fine.
Sometimes A-Rod is on carpool duty.
J.Lo and Alex's kids used to go to the same school, which made school drop-off a breeze when either one of them was on carpool duty. We're hoping this photo was taken before they were on the road, because we don't spy any seat belts, just a lot of love.
Alex loves being surrounded by his girls.
He really does his best to make sure his girls are always smiling! We love that his daughters and Emme get along so well that they seem like actual sisters who have always been together. Emme is blessed because she gets to have the best big sisters by her side as she grows up.
A family who watches baseball together stays together.
The beautiful family spent a perfect afternoon at a Yankees game in March 2019. Max was even repping Alex's former team with a classic Yankees fitted cap. We don't actually have any proof that a family that watches baseball games together stays together, but we're hoping that's true for this family.
They posed for a sweet sunset pic to start off the new year.
"As the sun sets on 2018, from our family to yours … #HappyNewYear everyone! ," Alex captioned the pic. All the kids look so much younger here. Look at Max's cute face and smile. Jen and Alex pretty much look the same as they do now. Must be all that clean living and exercise.
The family welcomed Thanksgiving 2018 with a cozy morning snuggling in bed.
"Thankful for mornings like this with the ones I love most. I am truly blessed. #HappyThanksgiving to all of you and your families. #gratitude," Alex captioned the pic. These kinds of family moments are truly priceless and what life is truly all about. We get it.
This pic is adorable.
The best part about this lovely family is that they're always smiling when they're together. Having people to share your joy with makes life so much better. What's even better is when the people in your life are the ones who bring you much joy. It seems like this joyful bunch were meant to be together.
Jen's kids seem to really adore A-Rod.
Any single mother's dream is that her new man and her beloved children will love each other, and it looks like that dream has come true for J.Lo. Max having his arm wrapped around A-Rod's neck is the cutest!
They ride in style.
Alex shared this cool pic of the whole family going for a ride. All four kids were squeezed in together in the back seat of this gorgeous red car as they headed off for a ride together. These kids are having a great childhood thanks to their loving parents.
Emme looks up to Alex. Literally.
Emme has a great relationship with her dad, Marc Anthony, but it is so sweet to see how well she also gets along with Alex—and this pic is proof. "Much deserved brunch after these girls whipped my butt at @trufusion bootcamp #perfectsunday," the former baseball player captioned the adorable pic of himself with his eldest daughter and Emme.
They spent their second Christmas together in 2018.
The adorable family has fallen into their own rhythm of things in the years that Jen and Alex have been together. The holidays seem to be so full of joy for them now that their families have come together as one. They make decorating a Christmas tree look like a labor of love and fun.
As the father of two girls, Alex is all about herstory.
"Proud and excited to be witnessing #herstory alongside these leading ladies as more women have won seats in the US House of Representatives than ever before. There’s no better time for my girls to grow up seeing examples of women dreaming, believing, and achieving. #thefutureisfemale #myqueens ," Alex captioned this photo he shared on November 7, 2017.
They're just like any other Taco Tuesday-loving family.
Well, maybe not exactly like every other Taco Tuesday-loving family, because they are rich and famous, but you get the point. The former baseball star shared a snap of him and J.Lo with their girls in June 2018. The family was enjoying a Taco Tuesday together in Miami.
Cuddle time is the best.
We love that Jen and Alex spend so much time cuddling with their littles. Cuddle time is precious, especially since kids seem to stop wanting to cuddle way sooner than parents are ready to stop cuddling. It's not fair—they get you hooked on cuddles, and then they take them away.
Check out the bats on this family!
Those are A-Rod Limited Edition bats. Only 626 of them were made, and it looks like Alex kept at least six for his blended family, so that means that even fewer were made available for purchase. It sure did give them an opportunity to take a cute picture as a family.
The famous dad was feeling the love.
The lucky dad was showered with lots of love from two of the kids in a photo from May 2018. While his daughter Natasha was giving him a kiss, his girlfriend's son, Max, went in for a hug. He wrote, "#FeelingTheLove #GroupHug #FamilyTime."
In 2018, they spent the day together in Miami.
A-Rod captioned the photo, “Perfect day in #Miami with #OurGreatestGifts #Tashi #Ella #Max #Emme #Family #Blessed.” Again, notice how they are all on top of each other and so incredibly affectionate. You really can't fake that kind of closeness over and over again.
Carpooling is life.
Jennifer shared a carpooling-to-school photo of her and Alex's kids, and it's the cutest. The couple used to drop them all off at school in the mornings, and we bet they made some wonderful memories on those trips. Carpooling is wonderful. It's good for the environment, and it's good for human connection.
Sometimes they go out for ice cream as a group.
They love going out for ice cream as a family. Sometimes it's the simple things in life that make us happy, and these small moments are the ones that paint the bigger picture. This photo is from November 2017. Emme's ice cream cone looks amazing.
Jennifer uses Snapchat filters with Alex's daughters.
Alex's oldest daughter, Tashi, is super close to Jennifer, and it shows in all their cute selfies together. Check out Alex in the back. He looks all happy and pleased that two of his favorite people like each other so much. They don't even need that heart filter to show their affection, but it doesn't hurt.
They love sports.
This pic is from Three Kings Day when they went to a Lakers game as a family in 2018. Talk about a fun way to celebrate the holiday. The family gets the best seats in the house! No nosebleed seats for these VIPs.
They spent the 2017 holidays together.
In fact, Alex spent Christmas that year with J.Lo's entire family. Apparently they celebrate pajama party style! Jennifer captioned her post: "Hope everyone had a peaceful Christmas full of joy and laughter, surrounded by all of your loved ones… sending everyone lots of love and good wishes for this holiday season!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS ❤️#lovepost #pajamajammyjam."
Their kids also wore PJs.
They looked like they were having even more fun than the adults. The twins' cousin, Lucie Wren (left), was there, too. She's the daughter of J.Lo's sister, Lynda. The kids look like they could have formed their own cheer squad back then.
Alex took the girls to a football game.
Apparently J.Lo and A-Rod's kids love sports. How perfect! Alex posted this picture on November 4, 2017 and wrote, "Saturday night football with my girls #theU @univmiami." They were at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.
Alex is a very proud father.
The pride and love he feels for his daughters is always on display. He is not shy about doting on them. In August 2017, he shared this photo of him with J.Lo and his daughters dining at a restaurant in Coconut Grove, Miami. He's sitting there, beaming.
Jen has taken all four of their kids to baseball games multiple times.
This particular photo is from a New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game, and apparently J.Lo's mother, Mrs. Guadalupe, also attended. It's nice that both Jen and Alex include their mothers in their family bonding excursions. It's a nice way for the kids to connect with their abuelas.
Jen and Alex celebrated their birthdays together with both their families.
They had a big double birthday bash one night back in July 2017, and then they did a low-key thing the next day with their relatives. This picture shows three generations of their families. They look beyond happy. Jennifer's birthday is on July 24, and Alex's is on July 27.
Max looks so attached to Alex.
It's amazing how well he gets along with his future stepdad. Max and Alex are surrounded by so many girls, so it's great to see them have such a great bond with each other. When Jennifer posted this picture in July 2017, all she wrote was, "This… ."
In fact, both Max and Emme get along great with Alex.
Jennifer posted this series of pictures of some family time they enjoyed in the Hamptons. If you scroll through all the pics, it's easy to see that both Emme and Max feel very comfortable around Alex. There's one picture of Max sitting on top of Alex as Alex reclines in a pool chair that is not to be missed.
They've have had many fun pool days.
Alex and J.Lo make family time a priority and make sure to get involved in activities with their kids. And they always manage to get really cute family photos out of them, too. Makes you wonder if they have a staff photographer or something.
Emme gets along incredibly well with Alex’s daughters.
This photo of her with Tashi needs to be framed. That's how precious it is. It's hard to believe that these two aren't actually biological sisters, because they look like they could be in this pic. Lucky Emme has some awesome big sisters now, and that is priceless!
Jen's ex-husband and father of her kids, Marc Anthony, totally supports her new relationship.
In fact, Marc and A-Rod even hung out after J.Lo's Casa de Campo concert in the Dominican Republic. Marc and Jennifer have done an incredible job of remaining close so that they can spend time together with their kids. It's really refreshing to see co-parenting work so well.
Jen gets along really well with Alex's mother, Mrs. Lupe Rodríguez.
This picture was taken while they were spotted walking the streets of NYC together. We're sure it means a lot to Alex that his two ladies get along so well. Let's face it—not all suegras are easy to get along with, so congrats to J.Lo for scoring one that she can happily spend time with.
Pin it!
