Barack Obama Sent the Sweetest Engagement Note to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez

"This means the world to us. 44"

After two years of dating, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are engaged. And although the blissfully Instagram-happy couple have plenty of fans who have followed the romance since it officially kicked off, it seems their number one fan is none other than former president Barack Obama.

Shortly after the pair announced their engagement on Instagram, the former POTUS sent them an adorable note congratulating them on their engagement. Naturally, Rodriguez shared the note on Friday after receiving it (come on, wouldn't you?).

On his personal stationary, Obama wrote:

Jennifer and Alex –
Michelle and I just wanted to congratulate you on your engagement. After 26 years together, we can say that whatever challenges life may bring, sharing them with someone you love makes it all better.
All the best,
Barack Obama

In his social media post, which he shared to both Instagram and Twitter, Rodriguez shared a photo of the note and simply captioned it, "This means the world to us. #44"

As for how J.Lo and A-Rod know the Obamas, Vulture reports that Rodriguez likely first met the former president when he visited the White House back in 2010 with the rest of the Yankees. Lopez, on the other hand, recently shared the stage with Michelle Obama in February during the 2019 Grammys.

But it might just be that the Obamas are simply big fans of the couple just like the rest of us. After all, the Lopez-Rodriguez twosome are a couple who appear to be madly, deeply, truly in love—kind of like the Obamas themselves.

“Everything that we do, we do together,” Lopez recently shared with People in an in-depth interview last week about their relationship. “We’re constantly supporting each other in our individual endeavors and then we’re thinking about all the things that we can build together.” She added, “He knows my dreams and I know his dreams, and together we feel like we’re stronger. He is my biggest collaborator, and my biggest supporter.”
