Rodriguez, appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” opened up about life after baseball including his romance with the performer, which he called humbling.

"When I was with the Yankees, and we won the world championship, and you wear the pinstripes, you think you're pretty cool," Rodriguez told Fallon. "But then, you hang out with Jennifer, and they confuse me with the security guard all the time."

The pair have spent the summer together.

“We were at the Met Ball, and the paparazzi were screaming at me, not even in English, ‘Get out of the way, get out of the way! We’re trying to take a picture,” Rodriguez said.
