Upon hearing about Jennifer Lopez’s split from Ben Affleck, former baseball star Alex Rodriguez, who was engaged to Lopez previously, took to his social media to share his thoughts.
“We all have the power to choose our own paths in life,” Rodriguez remarked, seemingly taking some pleasure in Jennifer’s situation after she chose Affleck over him, and now finding herself alone.
After Lopez ended their engagement, Rodriguez wasted no time and quickly embarked on a series of romances with younger women, including models and reality show participants such as Melanie Collins, Kelly Bensimon, and Kat Padgett. He is currently in a committed relationship with 44-year-old fitness instructor Jeslyn Cordeiro.
Rodriguez and Lopez’s relationship began in 2017, and Lopez was flattered by the attention of a man whose list of past partners included celebrities like Madonna and Cameron Diaz. In March 2021, Alex proposed to J.Lo with a $2 million ring featuring a 15-carat emerald-cut diamond.
Despite their seemingly happy relationship, Lopez rekindled her romance with Affleck and called off the wedding just three days before it was scheduled to take place. She also announced her split from Alex, but notably did not return the engagement ring – an addition to her impressive collection of engagement symbols.
Throughout her life, she has been engaged five times, including twice to Affleck, and has managed to keep four of the rings. It seems likely that she will also keep the fifth one, a rare $5 million green diamond given to her by Ben.
