Following an explosive Southern Charm reunion episode in January 2021, rumors swirled after
Craig Conover accused co-star Madison LeCroy of having relations with a famous athlete.
The reunion conversation never revealed the identity of the mystery man, at what turned
out to be LeCroy's request. LeCroy denied ever meeting him in person or being with him
in a physical capacity. Various outlets, reporters, and curious fans started to connect the dots
— with the trail leading to Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees legend and Jennifer Lopez's
fiancé.
Just a few days later, on February 3, Southern Charm star Danni Baird confirmed the speculation
on an episode of the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast, saying,
"Months before that I had heard, like, she had even told me that they were FaceTiming
or something. I had just assumed. I never asked more about it or anything like that.
I just kind of forgot about it. It just didn't tie in that he was a Major League Baseball
player."
For her part, LeCroy clapped back after being accused of sleeping with Rodriguez during
the reunion.
Now, it appears that she's had to come forward again to explain that her relationship with
Rodriguez has never been physical. After fans noticed that the former MLB player had liked
her Instagram photos in the past, things continued to get messy.
Since many of the rumors detailed an alleged hookup between LeCroy and Rodriguez, the Southern
Charm star came forward to set the record straight. When speaking to Page Six, the 30-year-old
claimed that their relationship started with DMs and eventually calls, but nothing went
further. She told the outlet that they have never, quote, "met up" but had "spoken on
the phone."
Furthermore, she explained that their relationship had been purely virtual, "random" and inconsistent.
Contrary to allegations otherwise, LeCroy also revealed that the two had "never been
physical." She described Alex Rodriguez as "just an acquaintance."
Perhaps the most telling, Lecroy said that Rodriguez had never "physically cheated on
his fiancée with me," while saying that what they spoke about during their calls was "innocent."
She added:
"I don’t know what to do. I have tried to be as quiet as possible. I don’t want anything
bad for his family, or for mine. We are definitely innocent in this."
As for Rodriguez, a source told the New York Post:
"He doesn't know this woman. Look, does this mean he didn't DM her and liked a photo or
two? I guess not, but he doesn't know her — and he definitely didn't hook up with
her."
Meanwhile, while A-Rod hasn't publicly confirmed or denied the rumors himself, he has been
busy posting pictures of his fiancé, Jennifer Lopez, on The Gram.
This isn't the first time that Alex Rodriguez may have had an affair. He was rumored to
have had a fling with Madonna while married to Cynthia Scurtis. It's also not the first
time that Jennifer Lopez has had to confront accusations of her now-fiancé being unfaithful.
Remember when Rodriguez put a ring on it? José Canseco used the occasion to go public
with accusations that Rodriguez had hooked up with his ex-wife, Jessica Canseco. Lopez
remained unphased, telling The Breakfast Club at the time:
"I mean, it doesn't matter, I know what the truth is."
These may be the cards she's planning on playing in the face of the Madison Lecroy accusations,
too. The superstar singer is yet to publicly comment on the scandal, but she's peppered
her social media with self-care PSAs. Meanwhile, Page Six spotted Lopez and Rodriguez holding
hands, wining and dining at the Bellini restaurant in Coconut Grove, Florida.
As far as we know their wedding, which was supposed to take place in Italy in the summer
of 2020 is still on the books. According to what J.Lo told Andy Cohen in December, she
and her fiancé had once considered canceling it all together but decided that maybe they
would tie the knot after all.
