Speaking about the Christmas gift for JLo, Alex told femalefirst.co.uk: "It has to be something creative. I can't just go out and buy something expensive. For Jennifer, something that is handwritten or maybe is a photo — I don't want to give any secrets away for this holiday. It's something that is heartfelt.
"It is something that resembles a memory that we've had together that involves our children or involves our home. Ultimately, that's what it is all about." Meanwhile, A-Rod, as Rodriguez is fondly called, explained that he is getting more grateful as he is growing older.
"It think the holiday season is really about giving back. The older I get, the more grateful I am. Whether it's Thanksgiving or Christmas, one of the things that we mandate for our kids is that they have to give back," added Alex.
