Alex Rodriguez’s Steamy Romance With Kathryne Padgett Failed to Faze Ex-Fiancee Jennifer Lopez Before “Perfect” Ben Affleck Wedding

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez have now long moved on from the life they once shared. As known by everyone, soon after breaking up, the Hustler actress reunited with her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck. The two got engaged a few months after that and got married in a close-knit perfect wedding earlier this year. As for Rodriguez, he seems to be in his second relationship after Lopez. But it isn’t his second relationship that made quite a buzz. It was his first relationship after Lopez with a fitness enthusiast, Kathryne Padgett. People got to know about it after Rodriguez was spotted kissing the 25-year-old while on vacation in Italy.

It would not have come as a shock if A-Rod’s new relationship had affected Lopez. But it didn’t seem like the former Yankee dating a 21 years younger woman had any effect on JLo.

What did Jennifer Lopez say about Alex Rodriguez dating Padgett?

Rodriguez, however, did not say anything about his relationship with Padgett. But people close to them have spoken to the media outlets telling them that although A-Rod and Padgett were dating, they were not exclusive.

Similarly, Lopez herself did not come forward and talk about her feelings about her ex-fiance dating again. But sources close to her opened up about how JLo felt at the time. “Jen is focused on herself and doesn’t even think twice about A-Rod or his current love life. She wishes [Alex] the best, but it’s not something that bothers her or takes up space in her mind whatsoever,” said a source for Entertainment Tonight.

The source went on to say that the actress just wants everybody around her to be happy. They also added that A-Rod is at the back of her mind. And his dating life is something that does not faze her for even a second. 

How long did Rodriguez date Padgett?

The former couple started getting spotted on several outings in early 2022. Sources close to the ex-couple had said although Rodriguez was into Padgett, the couple was not going around telling people they were exclusive.
