Former baseball star Alex Rodriguez assured fiancee Jennifer Lopez that she is still a champion amid her loss in the best supporting actress in a motion picture category in the latest Golden Globe Awards.
Rodriguez, famously known as A-Rod, told Lopez that “it doesn’t take a trophy, medal, or plaque to identify a true champion,” he posted on Instagram earlier today, Jan. 6.
“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 said.
“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,” he added.
Rodriguez’s message came with a photo of Lopez on the red carpet during the 77th Golden Globes Awards held earlier today at The Beverly Hilton in California, United States.
“To your children, your family, your coaches, your staff, and your extended family, you are a champion. To everyone whose lives you enrich daily, you are a champion. And don’t you ever forget it,” he stressed.
Lopez was nominated for her role as Ramona, a stripper in New York City, in the 2019 thriller-drama “Hustlers” directed by Lorene Scafaria.
Laura Dern bagged the award for best supporting actress in a motion picture, for her role as divorce lawyer Nora Fanshaw in Netflix’s “Marriage Story”. JB
