Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez Throw Joint Birthday Party in Miami
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez celebrated the dawn of Leo season over the weekend in Rodriguez’s hometown of Miami. The couple—who share the same birthday week—threw a joint party, and it was just as over the top as you might expect from the famous duo.
J-Rod’s party included everything glitz and glam, from two matching multitiered birthday cakes to a barely-there dress. Lopez, who turns 48 today (July 24), showed off her stunning figure in a black minidress, made mostly of mesh with a large cutout back and side, paired with her signature oversize hoop earrings. Rodriguez, celebrating 42 years just three days later on July 27, donned a tailored blue suit with black shoes and an undone, white button-down, naturally.
The his-and-hers cakes featured custom Swarovski crystal nameplates, and shared a white-and-gold color scheme. J-Lo’s cake stood six tiers to A-Rod’s four, and hers was round with gilded accents and edible roses, whereas his was a more masculine square shape featuring a geometric pattern.
