Jennifer Lopez dedicated a song to her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez on their one-year anniversary when she performed at a pre-Super Bowl LII concert.
The 48-year-old singer headlined the DIRECTV NOW Super Saturday Night Show at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Saturday (03.02.18) and treated the 8,000 fans in attendance to a selection of her greatest hits, including ‘I’m Real’ and ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’.
And she took the opportunity on stage to give a special shout-out to her beau before singing her latest hit ‘Us’.
She said: "We’ve been together for one year today. I don’t want to get all mushy or anything, but baby, this song’s for you. I love you."
After her performance she told E! News that she hadn’t planned to say anything about their anniversary but admitted it "felt really good" to pay tribute to A-Rod, 42.
J.Lo said: "It was our little anniversary, so it was a special night. I kept thinking, ‘Oh, God – February 3! That’s our day. Oh, my God. It’s been a year’. It was more spontaneous than anything else. It wasn’t too planned. I thought about it, and I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll do it; maybe I won’t.’ But it was a great show, in general, and … I don’t know. We felt really good."
During the concert – which raised money for Hurricane Maria victims in Puerto Rico – Lopez underwent seven costume changes and as well as playing her own material she also covered Aretha Franklin’s ‘Respect’ and was joined by Ne-Yo for a duet of ‘All I Have’.
One of the highlights of the set was when J.Lo sang a Prince medley, which included the late legend’s songs ‘Let’s Go Crazy’, ‘When Doves Cry’ and ‘Darling Nikki’.
