Mario Testino Flashes Love Birds J-Rod! -- Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez -- For Vanity Fair December 2017

Vanity Fair Magazine's December 2017 cover story shares J-Rod!, America's new 'it couple' with the world. Mega star Jennifer Lopez and famed New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez dish on love, beauty, redemption and their captivating love story. Famed celeb photographer Mario Testino flashes the sizzling duo with styling by Jessica Diehl for 'A Tap on the Back'.

Bethany McLean conducts the interview -- well worth the read -- and we learn that it's Lopez who made the first move. 

Rodriguez’s story about the tap is a poignant reminder that this isn’t just another love story. It’s the story of two people with rich and at times tumultuous pasts, which are part of the reason they have a present as a couple. “We are very much twins,” he says. “We’re both Leos; we’re both from New York; we’re both Latino and about 20 other things.”

“I understand him in a way that I don’t think anyone else could, and he understands me in a way that no one else could ever,” she says. “In his 20s, he came into big success with the biggest baseball contract [at the time]. I had a No. 1 movie and a No. 1 album and made history. We both had ups and downs and challenges in our 30s, and by our 40s we’d both been through so much. And more importantly than anything, we had both done a lot of work on ourselves.”
