With the start of a new celebrity couple, the idea that they will probably not last together for an extended period of time will likely follow. This could be seen as stereotypical, but if you really do your research, the divorce rate among Hollywood couples is close to 50 percent.
Economic support, busy schedules, and narcissism are definitely major causes for the reasoning behind this phenomenon, however, we hope that doesn't become the case between singer, dancer, and actress, Jennifer Lopez, and her new beau, former Yankees third baseman, Alex Rodriguez. Don't their names put together in the same sentence just have a great ring to it? The both of them even share the same kind of three to four letter nickname, it's a match made in heaven!
It's been a year since we've first seen the two step out in the public eye as a couple at the Met Gala red carpet, and I, for one, have been here for it ever since. Since then, we've seen them attend basketball games courtside, we've heard them talk up one another throughout various interviews and in JLo's concert performances, we've seen them engage in charity work with one another in places like Puerto Rico, and most recently we've seen the couple buy a 15.3 million dollar apartment together in NYC.
There's no denying that these two love being in one another's company, but how do their kids feel about all of this? JLo's twins are fathered with singer, Marc Anthony, while ARod has two daughters of his own with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. Well, ARod has gone on the record saying that his daughters, Ella and Natasha, think JLo is , "such a great role model. They look at her like she's the Messiah." And why wouldn't such impressionable, young girls feel that way when their father is dating Jennifer Lopez!? ARod and JLo have seemed to peacefully blend their two families together, as the couple has also posted on their social medias of the whole clan gathering for holidays and other events.
Let us not forget to mention all the beauty that this dynamic duo possesses. It's a shame that JLo is reaching her 50s because these two would make great babies together, but let's also congratulate the 48 and 42-year-olds for looking as great as they do.
Two very successful high-profile people in their own respects, two well-blended and loving families, and a chemistry that seems incomparable to most other couples in the spotlight, we really don't see much going wrong for these two in the near future.
