Jennifer Lopez and fiancé Alex Rodriguez enjoyed a date night at the Super Bowl LV exactly one year after the singer took to the field as the Halftime Show performer.
On Sunday, the 51-year-old shared photos and videos of her and ‘A-Rod, as he’s otherwise known, enjoying the sights from the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs went head-to-head in the annual American football match.
Ahead of her arrival in Florida, the performer shared a photograph of herself on a private plane, with the caption ‘#SBLV Bound’ , wearing a Louis Vuitton high neck crop top, matching leggings and an athleisure-style Chanel tweed jacket. Ever the 1990s pop star fashion icon, Lopez teamed her look with some OTT silver hoop earrings.
Walking along the airfield tarmac after disembarking their private plane, Rodriguez asked Lopez who she thought would win between the two teams, causing the 'Jenny From The Block' singer to stutter on her decision and A-Rod to reply to camera: ‘We’ll get back to you’.
At one point in the evening, Rodriguez filmed himself and his fiancée enjoying the Super Bowl event and captured Lopez wearing a sparkly embellished black face mask with her name 'Jennifer' emblazoned across the front.

Meanwhile, Rodriguez wore a white suit and was later seen cheering on the teams in the stadium with his wife-to-be, with the pair holding up signs that read ‘thank you, healthcare heroes’ amid reports that 7,500 health care workers who had been vaccinated would be in the sporting venue on the night, with the NFL paying all expenses.
On the night, The Weeknd stole the show during his Halftime performance with hit tunes like 'Can't Feel My Face' and 'I Feel It Coming', before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs.
To commemorate a year since her Super Bowl performance, during which she was joined on stage by her daughter Emme and singer Shakira, the J-Lo Beauty founder shared several unseen photos from her career highlight on Sunday evening.
In the photos, Lopez can be seen soaking up the atmosphere ahead of her show, receiving a kiss from her other half and hugs with her daughter, as well as images from her numerous rehearsals.
‘Such an unforgettable performance!’ one Instagram user commented on the slew of photos.
‘Those videos made me very happy!!!!’ added another.
Lopez’s appearance at the Super Bowl comes weeks after she performed at President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The singer sang American classics such as 'This Land Is Your Land' and 'America The Beautiful', before interjecting a lyric from her own tune 'Let's Get Loud' into the mix, as well as reciting the last line of the pledge of allegiance in Spanish, much to the joy of Twitter.
