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.
