Alex Rodriguez Reacts to Jennifer Lopez Wanting More Kids

Jennifer Lopez Told Hoda Kotb That She Wants More Kids, and ARod's Reaction Is So Typical

Although Jennifer Lopez is still getting ready to marry Alex Rodriguez, she's already thinking about what comes next.

In a Today interview with ARod, Hoda Kotb played the messenger and revealed to the 44-year-old baseball star that his 50-year-old fiancée wanted to have a child with him.

"I did ask your bride-to-be a question yesterday," she said in the sit-down segment. "And I asked her if she wanted more kids with you, and she said, 'Yeah!'"

Alex's reaction was priceless. With a look of nervous anticipation, he simply said, "Interesting."

When Hoda asked, "Have you heard that?" he quickly replied, "That's a lot too unpack."

(In another segment, Hoda added that "Alex said he would get back to her" on the topic of more kids.)

After his initial reaction, Alex — who has two daughters, 14-year-old Natasha and 11-year-old Ella with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis — did offer Hoda a sweet compliment that might help him come around to the idea of adding a fifth kid to the mix (J Lo shares twins – 11-year-old Max and Emme – with ex-husband Marc Anthony).

"Hoda, I think honestly, you've inspired her," he said, referring to the Today host's adoption of two kids in her 50s. "And I see how happy you are, and I think she may want to follow in your footsteps and maybe we'll have you over to give us a little tutoring!"
