The news of their engagement party comes nearly six months after A-Rod got down on one knee and popped the big question. While the pair has been pretty tight-lipped about their wedding plans, earlier this month, the retired baseball star gave fans a clue about what he and his leading lady have set for their big day.
“I got one clue for y’all. One wedding clue… Are you guys ready,” A-Rod teased during an appearance on Strahan, Sara and Keke. “It’s gonna be a long flight.”
He shared that the 50-year-old star is taking over the wedding planning, and he’s letting her make the decisions. “When you think about wedding plans and Jennifer is your partner, all you do is…you do a lot of nodding,” he said on the show. “I don’t know where the location is, I don’t know what I’m wearing, I don’t know when it is. I’ll just show up.”
It’s only a matter of time before they exchange their vows and become husband and wife!
