Meghan Markle and Prince Harry dined with Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez in Miami on Thursday night, according to The New York Post.

The dinner date reportedly occurred just hours after the formal royals delivered their keynote speech at the JP Morgan ‘billionaire’s summit’ in the same city.

Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are said to have instantly ‘bonded’ with J-Lo, 50, and A.Rod, 44, during the dinner date, which took place at Habitat – a ritzy restaurant located inside the 1 Hotel South Beach.

‘Harry and Meghan got on really well with Jennifer and Alex… J-Lo was overheard inviting the couple and their baby Archie to her and Alex’s house in Miami to spend time with them and their kids,’ one onlooker told The Post.

It’s unclear whether the former royals took the pop superstar up on her offer.

Other attendees at the star-studded JP Morgan summit are believed to have included former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has netted millions on the lucrative speaking circuit since leaving Downing Street.

The 66-year-old was speaking in New York two days before, and was a panelist at the Florida event talking about foreign affairs.

MailOnline understands Mr Blair did not meet the Duke and Duchess, nor stay to watch their speech.

As of Saturday, Meghan and Harry are rumored to be on their way to Hollywood for the Oscars.

The Post reports that the couple could ‘possibly appear on stage as presenters for either Best Film or Documentary’ at the awards show, set to be held on Sunday night.

It’s not much of a stretch, given that Meghan and Harry already took to the stage for their keynote speech in front of a crowd of rich and powerful people.

Gayle King is reported to have introduced the former royals onto the stage.

The couple could have earned up to $1million for the address – during which Harry spoke about his mental health and years in therapy.

Ronn Torossian, CEO of New York-based firm 5W Public Relations, stated that: ‘Harry and Meghan will be the highest-paid speakers that exist on the corporate market.

‘I would not be shocked if they earned in excess of $1million [for the address],’ he told DailyMail.com.

‘Over the year their earning power could be unlimited.’

PR executive Simon Huck – who is a friend of the Kardashians – has already estimated that Meghan can make $100million this year alone.

Meanwhile, another insider said  Meghan and Harry were ‘smart’ to take the gig’.

‘The conference is all about building wealth for future generations, and making the world better for future generations, a topic close to Harry’s heart,’ the insider stated.

However, another PR expert warned that the pair risk looking ‘tacky’.

PR guru Mark Borkowski told The Mail on Sunday: ‘This shows how difficult it is going to be. They’ve got to make a lot of money and they are going to slip up on the way.

‘The worry is how many of these type of gigs are there going to be? How often can Harry play the card about his mental health?

‘For JP Morgan, it’s an extraordinary ‘get’. They clearly have the money to afford them, but Harry and Meghan need to avoid being perceived as tacky.’
