As he looks ahead, Alex Rodriguez can’t help but cling to a few things from his past.

Among the vehicles shown in Thursday’s Instagram post by the 46-year-old former New York Yankees star is what seems to be the 2019 red 911 Carrera GTS Porsche that he gave to Jennifer Lopez as a 50th birthday present.

Ocean Auto Club was the source of the automobile, which has a retail value of $146,420. The dealership went so far as to personalize Lopez’s present with a “JLo” license plate and coordinating floor mats.

With a grin on his face and an olive-green tie, Rodriguez leans against the Porsche in Thursday’s post.

He said, “I’m super down to earth,” for the photo’s caption.
Rodriguez detailed Lopez’s unusual driving history in a behind-the-scenes video he posted to YouTube two years ago, explaining that she hadn’t “driven in 25 years.”

“What do you get someone who already has everything?” In the film, Rodriguez inquired. “You have to be creative.”

“I love it,” Lopez said to Rodriguez about the present in the video. A automobile is something I’ve never owned. I adore it. Papi, I adore it. Sobbing has ensued. I can barely keep my breath. “I can manage that little car,” I thought, after a lengthy period of not driving.
In April, Lopez and Rodriguez formally broke off their engagement, stating to PEOPLE that they’re “better as friends and look forward to remaining so.” They started dating in 2017, and in March 2019, they announced their engagement.

With the kids “are okay” in the midst of the split, “Jennifer and Alex are figuring out how to be exes and still remain friends,” a source told PEOPLE in April. Their goal is to show them the utmost respect. Jennifer is and always will be an integral part in the lives of Alex’s girls. She has a soft spot for his girl friends. Because of the children, their divorce is more complicated.
Rodriguez recently told Entertainment Tonight that he and his girls are presently involved in “all the positive” aspects of life, and that he is “in a great place” four months after the couple split up.

“I had five years of an incredible life and partnership and also with my daughters, we learned so much,” stated Rodriguez.

Thus, I am in an excellent position,” he continued. I am filled with gratitude for the path that God and the light have led me, and I eagerly anticipate what is ahead. Most importantly, I want to watch my girls grow and change.
