It was the moment seen 'round the world: Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged with a multi-million dollar diamond ring when the former MLB player proposed during their vacation in the Bahamas.

But even before they vowed to become husband and wife, the two had already managed to seamlessly blend their families. Lopez has two kids, 11-year-old twins Maximillian David and Emme Maribel, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, who she's now raising with Rodriguez's two daughters, 14-year-old Natasha and 10-year-old Ella, whom he shares with ex-wife Cynthia Rodriguez.

That blending didn't happen overnight, however. When Lopez and Rodriguez first started dating in 2017, they made sure to take time before introducing their kids to each other, she told People in 2018.

"I was so loving to his kids and he was so loving and accepting of mine, and they embraced each other right away. [It was] 'I get a new bonus brother and sisters to hang out with all the time and it's nice,'" she said. "Our kids have become best friends and that keeps us both grounded and appreciative. We couldn't have asked for anything better than the four of them getting along as they do," Rodriguez added.


Now that their wish (and ours) to become one is coming true, it's time to bask in the glory that is the soon-to-be Lopez-Rodriguez familia with some adorable pictures of their kids.


Yes, Marc Anthony is still present in Emme and Max's lives.

In December, the Latin singer took to Instagram to share a cute family photo of himself with Lopez and their daughter, Emme. "Nothing but love between us," he captioned the family photo, proving that this squad has surely figured out how to successfully blend their families.

Lopez has officially kicked off her It's My Party tour and her and Rodriguez's kids are joining in on the fun. During her first performance in L.A., Lopez even had her daughter, Emme, come up on stage for a duet of "Limitless."


When Rodriguez is away, he reminds us how much he misses J.Lo and her kids.

Since Rodriguez is a sports commentator and analyst for Fox Sports during baseball season, he's always on the road. This is just one example of the pictures he posts when he's away from his family.


Rodriguez and Lopez always come out to support their kids.

When Rodriguez's daughter Natasha graduated from middle school, Lopez and her kids posed for a picture with Rodriguez, his ex-wife, and her new husband.


A-Rod takes carpool seriously.

Just like other parents, Rodriguez takes part in school drop-offs from time to time.


The family that has fun together, stays together.

Rodriguez and Lopez's daughters are all smiles in this family picture.


The Lopez-Rodriguez clan knows how to be silly.

Rodriguez, Lopez and her kids know how to pose for the camera.


J.Lo and A-Rod love to take trips with their kids together.

Posse out — so long, Idaho.

Last year, the Rodriguez-Lopez crew took a break from their busy schedules for a vacation to Idaho.


Celebrating important holidays together is a given.

Look at how happy Ella, Emme, Max, Natasha, Jennifer, and Alex look enjoying Father's Day last year.


J.Lo's ex, Marc Anthony, and her fiancé Rodriguez get along.

The two came together for Natasha, Ella, and Emme's dance recital. Rodriguez even hashtagged this photo "#familia." Enough said!

The only person missing from this sweet snap is Max.


They all support Rodriguez's business endeavors.

Here's the gang posing with A-Rod's limited edition GS25 bat.


All of them enjoy a baseball game.

Lopez and Rodriguez took their kids to enjoy a Saturday afternoon baseball game at A-Rod's old home away from home, Yankee Stadium. He was with the New York Yankees for 10 years as third baseman.


Together they rang in 2018 on a beach in Malibu, California.

Rodriguez's captions says it perfectly, "as the sun sets on 2018, from our family to yours...#HappyNewYear."


Sisters with matching PJs—how cute!

Can you spot Lopez photobombing in the background?


Spending Thanksgiving in bed is always a yes.

What else could you ask for besides spending a day full of food resting and surrounded by your loved ones?


Talk about a good looking family.

Lopez and Rodriguez spent the end of last year as an adorable blended family.


According to Rodriguez, these are his queens.

We couldn't agree more with Rodriguez's caption "#thefutureisfemale."


Smiles all around for Rodriguez's ladies.

One can only wonder what Lopez, Emme, Natasha, and Ella were laughing at.


This could be a holiday card, just saying.

Just picture being lucky enough to get a holiday card from Lopez or Rodriguez in the mail with this happy family picture.


Lopez calls her twins "coconuts."

Every year the twins get older, the 49-year-old super star posts a tribute to them.


And just like Lopez, her twins like to dance.

Look at them on the floor during Kris Jenner's 2015 annual Christmas party!


The "coconuts" definitely like getting into the holiday spirit.

Here, the two look ready to spend that Christmas money.


J Lo's kids like to be fun, too.

And they're definitely a mix of both Anthony or Lopez.


And Max and Emme are fashion icons in the making.

Like Lopez's caption suggests, their style is on 1000.


Clearly, Lopez and Emme enjoy using filters like the rest of us.

A perfect mother-daughter moment between these two ladies.


And mom loves showing off how proud she is of her kids.



It's no wonder she couldn't help but share a picture of their first day of fourth grade.


There's no doubt Emme has Lopez's eyes.

Can we take a minute to appreciate Emme's swag? She got it from her mama, after all.


And both kids love coming to work with her.

Lopez took a break from recording to share this loving moment with her daughter and son.


And, of course, Lopez loves to put her makeup skills to work on Emme.

Considering the beauty queen has a makeup line with Inglot, it makes sense that Lopez could do Emme's lion makeup for Halloween.
