Jennifer Lopez + Alex Rodriguez Visit Puerto Rico for Hurricane Relief
The singer flew down to Puerto Rico with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez for relief efforts after the deadly Hurricane Maria caused damage in the U.S. territory.
While there, the couple raised more than $25 million in order to help Puerto Rico recover.
According to Rodriguez, “It’s about teamwork. It’s about chemistry, and if people come together and their spirits are high, miracles can happen.”
While Puerto Rico has begun to recover, it still has a long way to go. Rodriguez noted that tarps were being used as roofs.
What an amazing enlightening heartbreaking & yet hopeful day. We made it down to Puerto Rico 4 the first time since the hurricane and our Somos concerts. Still many miles to go…but grateful to go the distance side by side with this amazing guy…#hesmybestie # #hesmysuperhero pic.twitter.com/aRM8eX5PYS
