Alex Rodriguezis one lucky man.
Rodriguez, 43, was seen taking video of his girlfriend’s performance as she shimmied particularly hard, appearing to cheer her on.
His approval was a hot topic on social media, with fans sharing images of his face on Twitter. One fan, in particular, couldn’t help but agree with Rodriguez’s expression.
“A-Rod appreciating what he got at home. JLo KILLED this performance.#VMAs,” she tweeted.
The singer went through a high-tempo medley of her hits during the performance, including “Waiting for Tonight,” “On the Floor,” “I Ain’t Your Mama,” “Dance Again,” “El Anillo,” “Booty,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “Get Right” and “All I Have.”

The “All I Have” singer gave a heartfelt speech thanking all the people who helped her along the way in her career, but saved the sweetest moment for her 10-year-old twins Max and Emme and her boyfriend, whom she called her “twin soul.”
“It has been an incredible journey. Dreaming my wildest dreams and then kind of watching them come through. Music, acting, performing — this career has always been an obsession for me. When people have said, ‘You’re doing too much, you can only do one thing,’ I was always a person who was like, ‘Why not?’ I kind of had to forge my own path and rules.”
She continued: “I liked it that way for a while — just working and working and working. But it wasn’t until I had two little angels come into my life that everything changed. I knew I had to be better, I had to go higher, I had to be stronger than I had been before. It was through that unconditional love that my career and life became higher in every way, and I stand here better than ever. So thank you, Max and Emme.”
The proud boyfriend watched from his seat with Max and Emme while Lopez performed. When it came time to watch her accept, the former baseball player couldn’t hide his grin as Max sweetly sat on his lap.
