“AMAZING!! She ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT! Wow, that was so fun!” Rodriquez wrote in hisInstagram post. “I’m so proud of you, Jen!”
In a surprise, Lopez brought out her 11-year-old daughterEmme Maribelto perform alongside her on stage.
Before the game, Lopez hinted at Rodriguez having a good view of the show.
“You know Alex. He’ll be as close as he can get to that stage!” Lopezjoked of Rodriguez ahead of the gameon Thursday. “Alex and all of our kids will be watching, they’ll all be in the stadium.”

A day after theGolden Globes, the retired baseball player shared anInstagramphoto of Lopez on the red carpet during the ceremony and wrote, “Jen, it doesn’t take a trophy, medal, or plaque to identify a true champion.”
“To millions of young women who have watched you and have been inspired and empowered to do amazing things in their lives, you are a champion,” he shared. “For countless musicians, dancers, actresses, and performers who have seen and emulate your passion, drive and work ethic to find their own success, you are a champion.”
