Who doesn’t love a good love story? When Jennifer Lopez appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she shared some seriously sweet details about her first Valentine’s Day with her now-fiancé, Alex Rodriguez. It was a moment that clearly left a lasting impression on J.Lo, and it's easy to see why. This wasn’t just any Valentine’s Day—it was extra special because they had started dating right before the holiday in February 2017. Let’s dive into the romance!
Let me set the scene for you: Jennifer Lopez, the Queen of the Bronx, was in the middle of performing her Las Vegas residency when she returned to the city after a long flight. Exhausted and ready to unwind, she walked into her room only to be greeted by a breathtaking sight. There were flowers everywhere—roses, lilies, you name it. And then there were chocolates and a cake waiting for her. At first, she was confused. "Who sent all this?" she wondered. But as it turned out, it was Alex Rodriguez, her then-new boyfriend, making sure she knew how much she meant to him. Jennifer, who was 49 at the time, couldn't help but gush about the gesture, saying it made her feel so loved and appreciated. "Oh, he likes me," she thought to herself, and honestly, who wouldn’t feel that way?

Now, here’s where things get even cuter. Despite the grand gesture, Jennifer made it clear that Alex doesn’t need to go over the top to win her heart. During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy hilariously asked her, "How many flowers is one expected to send Jennifer Lopez?" He even joked, "If he got you a dozen roses, would that be enough?" Jennifer's response was pure gold. She laughed and said, "No, people think that, but honestly, it’s not like that. I would appreciate whatever he does, no matter what." It’s clear that for Jennifer, it’s not about the quantity—it’s about the thought and effort behind the gesture.

But let’s be real, even though Jennifer doesn’t expect much, she admitted that she still hasn’t bought Alex’s Valentine’s Day gift for the year they were talking about. “I have a couple of ideas. I know it’s tomorrow, but I’ve got some work to do in the morning,” she joked during their Wednesday, February 13 chat. Considering they had just purchased a $6.6 million Malibu beach house together, we’re guessing her gift was going to be something pretty amazing. After all, when you’re with someone as thoughtful as Alex, you want to make sure your gift matches the sentiment.
