I thought that baseball's Alex Rodriguez, and actresses Rosie Perez and Jennifer Lopez might be Dominican. Their bios indicate that all 3 were born in New York. Does anyone know if their ancestry is in fact Dominican?

I don't know about Alex but both Rosie Perez and Jennifer Lopez are from Puerto Rican ancestry.
