Once again, Alex Rodriguez has taken to social media to share his feelings, but this time, it’s not a viral challenge or a motivational message for the youth. Instead, he’s posted a cryptic message on Instagram. The timing? Well, it is particularly intriguing, coming shortly after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. Given that A-Rod was previously engaged to Lopez, many are wondering who—or what—his latest post might be referring to.

The baseball star shared a cryptic message on his account via Thecon.cept’s Instagram post, with his own quote in it reading, “You either go one way or the other; you might as well be the one deciding the direction.” Shortly after the news broke about the Grammy winner’s divorce, A-Rod reposted this image on his own Instagram story. At the same time, the post had no name associated with it; then why are people associating it with J.LO? Well, with what sort of history the two ex-love birds have, it is quite understandable why people are connecting the dots.

All about the Alex Rodriguez-J.Lo saga

The star couple were together for four years, from 2017 to 2021. They even got engaged in 2019! But things took a dramatic turn in the year 2021. As the whole world was waiting for them to get married, they ended their engagement. And, almost immediately, J.Lo rekindled her romance with Oscar winner Ben Affleck, her ex from years earlier. According to an insider who spoke to In Touch magazine, J Lo “dumped him (Alex) like a hot potato for Ben Affleck.” Alex was really crushed. “He felt like she tossed him out with the trash when she got a better offer from Ben and it did a huge number on him,” the source added.

The worst part for the baseball champ? J’Lo moved on so quickly. A close source revealed, “He went from planning a wedding to watching her marry someone else. In what felt like the blink of an eye.” Ouch! No wonder he felt like he’d been caught in a whirlwind of emotions. But now things have taken another dramatic turn as we fast forward to 2023. The fairy tale romance of the pop star seems to be coming to an end, and her ex, the retired MLB star, is rumored to be enjoying Bennifer’s fall. According to his friends, they already knew that “He’s been waiting for things with her and Ben to crash and burn,” a source close to the athlete disclosed.

Although

Alex Rodriguez is now happily dating Jaclyn Cordeiro, things are different for his ex-fiancée!

The Bennifer split-up

Back in the early 2000s, Affleck and Lopez—famously known as ‘Bennifer’—were Hollywood’s It couple. They got engaged in 2002 but called it off two years later. When they reunited in 2021 after Lopez’s split from the 3 time MVP, their paths intertwined again. They first tied the knot at a surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2022. Just a month later, they celebrated with a backyard ceremony for friends and family. The celebration was held at the $8 million Georgia mansion. The one that Affleck had bought when their romance first began two decades ago. It really seemed like destiny brought them together at that point!

While the Bennifer fans cheered them on, things took a different turn when Affleck didn’t show up to Lopez’s opulent “Bridgerton”-themed 55th birthday party on July 2. Rumors of a split had already been swirling. Especially since their appearances together had become rare and mostly limited to events involving their children, And on Tuesday, Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, marking the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding with her petition for the dissolution of their marriage.

The story involving Affleck, Lopez, and A-Rod feels like something straight out of a movie. All three are major stars in their fields, and their intertwined stories are anything but ordinary. As for how things will unfold with Bennifer, that remains to be seen. Lopez, at 55, is set to star in the upcoming film Unstoppable. The catch? Affleck’s company, Artists Equity, produces it. Meanwhile, both A-Rod and J-Lo are now history. So, after 3 years, is A-Rod simply observing the drama from a distance, or is he secretly enjoying the twists in his ex’s story? What do you think?
