It's been a birthday-packed month for Jennifer Lopez [1] and Alex Rodriguez. The couple, who have been dating for a year and a half now, recently partied together when J Lo turned 49 [2], and on July 27 they celebrated the retired baseball player's 43rd birthday. They spent his special day by the ocean, with dinner, followed by dancing outdoors, and relaxed late-night karaoke.

While the festivities looked incredible, it was the actress's intimate birthday video and note for ARod [3] that really tugged at our heartstrings. The Instagram slideshow features clips and photos of the powerhouse duo, plus many moments shared between their beautiful blended family [4]. It's clear these two make a great team!

Check out more photos from ARod's birthday celebration below, and then take a peek at his best (and most romantic) moments with J Lo [5] so far!
