Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were together between 2017 and 2021, and during that time they lived together in Miami with their children. 

JLo and her twins, Max and Emme, formed a close bond with ARod's daughters, Natasha and Ella, and she is quietly cheering them on five years after the split

Natasha, ARod's oldest daughter, is an aspiring singer and dancer, and often showcases her talent on social media. What's more, JLo follows Natasha on Instagram, and along with ARod, has been known to leave supportive comments.

Jennifer recently commented on a video of Natasha singing "No Good Deed" from Wicked to her family's beloved nanny, Denden. "If Denden doesn't like it, what is even the point," she wrote alongside the footage. 

Denden, of course, was more than impressed with the 21-year-old's singing abilities, causing Jennifer to respond too. "Yesss... DenDen," she wrote, alongside a love heart emoji.

ARod previously described Denden (Denise) as an "incredible woman" and "part of our family" during an interview on South Beach Sessions. Alex is also dad to 18-year-old daughter Ella, and shares his girls with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, with whom he has remained on good terms. 

Over the weekend, proud dad Alex enjoyed a trip away to visit Natasha, which he documented on social media. The doting dad went on a roadtrip to Wichita to watch his firstborn perform at Music Theatre Wichita.

Sharing pictures of them together, including enjoying brunch at a restaurant, he wrote: "Little roadtrip to Wichita to watch Tashi in her summer musicals at Music Theatre Wichita. So proud of you." 

Alex and JLo have remained on good terms since their split and shortly after they separated, the sports star opened up about the singer, and how he had "no regrets" when it came to their relationship.

ARod and JLo's split was amicable

While talking about her on IHeartRadio's Martha Stewart's podcast, he said: "Life is good. I'm very fortunate. I wake up every morning and thank the good Lord for my health, for my beautiful daughters, who are now 17 and 14. That is my number one focus in life." 

He went on to say of JLo: "Look, we had a great time. More importantly, we always put the kids front and center in everything we do. Here's what I will tell you about Jennifer, and I was telling some of my colleagues here the other day, she's the most talented human being I’ve ever been around." 

He added that Jennifer was the "hardest worker" and "I think she is the greatest performer, live performer in the world today that's alive."
