During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Rodriguez was confronted with a newly unearthed interview from 1998, in which his younger self was asked who his dream date would be. His answer: "Jennifer Lopez. Maybe you can help me find a date with her."
Alex Rodriguez Said Jennifer Lopez Was His 'Dream Date' Way Back in 1998
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez have proven time and again that they're couple goals, whether it's starring in ad campaigns together , working out as a team or showering lavish gifts on each other for milestone birthdays . And according to some old footage of Rodriguez, things were never going to go any other way.
J-Lo Was A-Rod's 'Dream Date' Way Back in 1998
In 1998, Lopez was a lot of people's dream woman: she had just appeared in the critically acclaimed romantic thriller Out of Sight opposite George Clooney, and her star was on the rise rise (her debut album On the 6 came out a year later).
After viewing the footage, Rodriguez exlaimed: "Well that means that dreams actually do come true in America... Jimmy, it took me 20 years."
The conversation then turned to wedding planning, where Rodriguez's approach is simple. "You just let Jennifer plan everything, and then you say: 'Alright.'" And while he won't be joining his professional dancer bride in a choreographed first dance as a married couple, he could still end up cutting up the dance floor at the reception: "When I have a few cocktails, I'm not awful... a little vodka, a little soda, I'm OK."

He also joked that they could have the biggest wedding of all time by getting married during J-Lo's half-time show at next year's Super Bowl. "I could probably save some money," he said. "NFL, Fox, they can pay for it!"
