Even though they are not together, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez will always be a fan favorite couple. They were probably the most popular couple in the world. And there was a reason. A-Rod was a prominent face in American sports, while Jennifer is still rocking the stage with her week-in and week-out fiery performances.
A-Rod and Jennifer dated for over four years. In 2019, the ex-couple even got engaged. However, when things did not work out between them, the two called their much-talked-about relationship off in April 2021.

The former New York Yankees star celebrates his birthday on July 27, while his ex-fiancee, Jennifer, celebrates her birthday (July 24) three days early before A-Rod. Last year, when the two were still a thing, A-Rod and Jennifer had planned to celebrate their birthday together. But by July 2021 (their birthday month), A-Rod and Jennifer had already broken up. And what happened next will shock everyone.
When Alex Rodriguez almost ran into his ex-fiancee and her boyfriend
According to USA Magazine, A-Rod and Jennifer had planned a trip to the French Riviera together to celebrate their birthdays. But a couple of months before their birthdays, they called their relationship off. And before her 51st birthday, Jennifer had already announced her relationship with Hollywood star Ben Affleck.
Now, what happened next is the most interesting thing. As earlier mentioned, A-Rod and Jennifer had planned to celebrate their birthdays together at the French Riviera. And guess what? Neither of them changed their plans. A-Rod and Jennifer (with Ben Affleck) were in the same place on their birthday weeks, but in different boats.

Although it did not happen, there was a high chance they would have run into each other. The USA Magazine reported the same in 2021.
“Jen and Alex had planned to go to the French Riviera for J. Lo’s birthday this year and neither of them changed their plans,” the report said. “Alex didn’t know Jen would still be going, but he wasn’t fazed when he found out her boat was nearby. He was distracted with his own guests.”
