Former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez got a surprise on Sunday that left him shocked and smiling from ear to ear. Former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez got a surprise on Sunday that left him shocked and smiling from ear to ear.
The prospective owner of the Timberwolves and former baseball star was caught off guard when his 19-year-old daughter Natasha surprised him at Sunday’s playoff game against the Mavericks much to A-Rod’s delight.
A video posted to Rodriguez’s Instagram account showed the heartwarming moment as his younger daughter Ella, 16, distracted her dad by pointing to something on the video board above as Natasha walked up to the side of their courtside seats.
Rodriguez then looked over with his jaw nearly on the floor to see his eldest daughter there before the two embraced in a loving hug, as the stunned dad still looked in disbelief.
Natasha was also seen with a wide smile on her face as she danced around in celebration, clearly seeing she pulled off the surprise for her dad.
The video ends with Rodriguez giving his daughter a kiss on the forehead before she runs over to seemingly give her younger sister a hug.
“I could not believe it! Ella and @thenatasharodriguez you two got me so good,” Rodriguez captioned the post on Instagram.
Ella and Natasha are daughters that Rodriguez shares with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, who the former major leaguer divorced in 2008.
Rodriguez has been attempting to purchase the T-Wolves with business partner Marc Lore and he has been spotted frequently at Timberwolves games during their run in the postseason.
Video of Rodriguez and Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards went viral after Minnesota defeated the Nuggets to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
The two were seen showing off a custom handshake that they had come up with.
Rodriguez had also been seen emphatically enjoying the win, to the point of screaming “Let’s f–king go” courtside.
