Since Cameron Diaz truly loved A-Rod and wanted to spend more time with A-Rod, the Charlie’s Angels actress used her ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, to get close to A-Rod once again.

Even Justin Timberlake was not enough to save Cameron Diaz’s relationship with Alex Rodriguez

Per Larry Brown Sports, when Alex Rodriguez broke up with his then-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz, she could not handle it. On one hand, Diaz was desperate for a commitment from A-Rod, while on the other hand, A-Rod did not want to commit to any woman.

So to get A-Rod back into the relationship, Diaz started getting close to her ex-flame, Justin Timberlake. She did this to make A-Rod jealous. Notably, the Charlie’s Angels actor had dated Timberlake for over three years in the past.

A source close to Diaz even said that she bruised A-Rod’s ego by doing this. But it only turned out to be a failed attempt from Diaz.
