Ex-New York Yankee Alex, whose nickname is A-Rod, also shared the sunset snap of the pair holding hands, simply writing: “She said yes”.
He posted the definition of ‘Soulmate’ by Bianca Sparacino on his Instagram story hours earlier to signal a big announcement may be on the way.
It reads: “A soulmate isn’t someone who completes you. No, a soulmate is someone who inspires you to complete yourself.
“A soulmate is someone who loves you with so much conviction, and so much heart, that it is nearly impossible to doubt just how capable you are of becoming exactly who you have always wanted to be.”
People reported that Alex is understood to have popped the question during a romantic holiday in the Bahamas after around two years of dating.
The loved-up pair have been posting envy-inducing snaps from what looks like a tropical destination, with white sand beaches and gorgeous sunsets.
J Lo shared one cheeky shot of her flaunting her famous derriere in a green bikini.
Her now-fiance smiled for the camera as Jennifer showed off her assets on a sandy beach.
She captioned the image: “Beach bums”.
On Friday, the singer shared another sweet snap of the pair enjoying some “down time” on a boat ride.
Speculation has raged for months about whether Jennifer and Alex have secretly got engaged.
The pair started dating in February 2017 after an appearance on The View and they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala in May 2017.
The megastar has been pictured several times with a diamond on her wedding ring finger, but she has given very little away.

This could be fourth-time lucky for J Lo, who has had a number of high-profile romances.
She was married to singer Marc Anthony, her third husband, for 10 years. The pair have two children together, twins Max and Emme.
J Lo also had an 11-month marriage to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, followed by a 16-month marriage to Chris Judd.
She has also dated the rapper Sean Combs, had a five-year relationship with dancer Casper Smart and was engaged to Ben Affleck.
Earlier this year, Lopez told Red magazine that she had to work out why she got into relationships that were not good for her before she could find happiness.
She said: “I feel like I’m in my second, third, or fourth act. I feel like I’ve lived several lifetimes already and I’ve had to figure myself out along the way, work out why I felt a certain way, or got into relationships that didn’t serve me.
“And I finally realised, ‘It’s me. It’s all me. I got to fix some stuff. I need to understand my own worth and value’.”
Discussing her relationship with Rodriguez, 43, she told the magazine: “Both Alex and I are Latino. We are both self-made. He was always the hardest working baseball player that was – me, the same. We have that in common.
“We have the same work ethic. We also appreciate and know that coming from nothing, we always want to try to help and give back and teach our kids that.”
