According to a source, Rodriguez's proposal totally caught Lopez by surprise.
"Even though this trip to the Bahamas has been planned for a few weeks, friends had no idea that Alex would be popping the question this weekend. Alex kept all of the details surrounding his ring shopping and his proposal very private--almost everyone in their inner circle was caught by surprise when Jennifer posted the photo of the ring," a source said at the time.
A second insider added, "Jennifer had no idea he was planning on doing it. Alex was very happy he was able to pull it off without her knowing."
The much-in-love couple was congratulated by a string of celebrities after they went public with the news.
KhloeKardashian, Ashley Graham, Ellen DeGeneres, Kris Jenner, DJ Khaled, and so many more celebrities offered their congratulations that day and the days following. It wasn't limited to just Hollywood A-listers. In a sweet gesture, BarackObama and Michelle Obama sent them a handwritten note wishing them the best.
"Jennifer & 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," the handwritten note read.
Lopez was previously married to waiter Ojani Noa, dancer Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony, while Rodriguez settled his divorce with Cynthia Scurtis in 2008.
