Jennifer Lopez Shares Sweet Birthday Message for Alex Rodriguez’s Daughter Ella

Jennifer Lopez clearly shares a special bond with Alex Rodriguez’s daughters, Natasha and Ella. The blended family spends plenty of time together (especially while social distancing), and on April 21, J Lo gave an extra important shout-out to Ella on her 12th birthday — throwing it back to the day they met.

“To my loving little Ella,” she wrote. “The first day I met you, (you were so little then . . .) you ran up to me, sat right on my lap, put your arms around me and asked to have my lavender dress I had just worn to the Grammys for when you grew up. You won my heart in a split second

” She continued, “You’re not so little anymore but you’re still sitting on my lap and I love it!!! ? HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet girl! #ThisPicIsUs PS: I have the dress saved for you!! ?”
