J-Lo and Ben Affleck have tied the knot,
and Alex Rodriguez definitely has opinions about his ex's new relationship.
Drama follows Alex Rodriguez everywhere. While facing several doping allegations and leaving the
MLB, Rodriguez began a relationship with Jennifer Lopez. Their love story was anything but easy,
though. Lopez and Rodriguez were together for four years and during that time called off
their wedding twice. While they claimed COVID-19 made it impossible to celebrate their nuptials
the way they wanted, it also didn't help that Rodriguez was rumored to be a serial cheater.
The final straw seems to have been Rodriguez's alleged affair with Madison LeCroy, a Bravo
reality star who claimed he slid into her DMs but maintained nothing more nefarious ever
happened. Either way, Lopez pulled the plug, and the pair called it quits in April 2021.
Sources told the outlet that while the troubled couple was not openly going to discuss any
reported infidelity, it didn't matter. According to an insider, the rumors created bad energy in
the relationship, something Lopez wouldn't tolerate, and she was ready to move on.
And move on, she did. Lopez reconnected with her ex, Ben Affleck, and by July,
they had tied the knot. Now, just a few months after the wedding,
Rodriguez isn't holding back about J.Lo's new love.
Apparently, Rodriguez isn't holding grudges. During an October interview
with "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" Rodriguez opened up about the breakup
and J.Lo's happy post-breakup life. He claimed that despite everything, what they
shared was a good experience. A-Rod refused to address Lopez's relationship with Ben Affleck,
but he did sing the praises of the actor and her two children, Emme and Maximilian.
"I wish her and the children, who are smart,
and beautiful and wonderful — I wish them the very best."
He might have gotten over his heartbreak now, but according to sources, when Affleck and
Lopez first got together, Rodriguez was caught off guard. A source told E! News in May 2021,
"A-Rod is shocked that J.Lo has moved on. He truly thought they would be able
to make it work and reconnect. He has been reaching out to J.Lo trying to meet with her,
and she has been very short with him."
Rodriguez's wandering eye ultimately spelled the end of his dreams of walking down the aisle with
Jennifer Lopez. But in 2019, Rodriguez took to Instagram to announce he'd proposed along with
a pic of a humongous diamond ring. According to Vogue, the "between 10 and 15 carats" ring was
worth a whopping $1 to $5 million. And the spouses-to-be were determined to keep the
wedding itself every bit as extravagant. Lopez discussed the wedding in a video diary entry
she posted during her "It's My Party" tour. She shared it would be an extravagant chapel affair.
Sadly it wasn't to be. In April 2021, the two released a joint statement announcing they were
splitting. People reported that Lopez pulled the trigger after losing trust in Rodriguez.
Ben Affleck wasted no time stepping into Alex Rodriguez's cleats. According to Town & Country,
Jennifer Lopez soon replaced A-Rod's 10-15 carat bauble with a rare green diamond from Affleck.
Lopez also shed her dream of a big fancy church wedding, choosing a secret Las Vegas quickie
instead. However, the newlyweds followed up with a three-day-long celebration in Georgia.
Lopez shared all the glorious details of the couples' big day in an "On The JLo" blog
post. She opened the post with a line from Affleck's movie "Live by Night" by quoting,
"This is heaven. Right Here. We're in it now."
Lopez admitted that it looked like the event would be a complete disaster after the weather
worsened and several of the guests came down with a stomach bug. But she wrote,
"[It] had all the makings of a doozie of a wedding weekend. The truth is,
I never had one doubt. All week I felt the calm and easy certainty that we were in God's hands."
It was a star-studded affair, with Affleck's bestie, Matt Damon,
and Jimmy Kimmel among the guests. Lopez also sang for Affleck. A video even saw
Lopez serenading the "Daredevil" actor in her wedding dress complete with backup dancers.
