Alex Rodriguez’s Ex-Fiancee Jennifer Lopez Suffered Brutal Dig as His $100M Rival Fired Shots in 2018: “She is My Enemy”

Alex Rodriguez‘s reputation precedes him. The retired New York Yankees third baseman was as famous for his on-field antics as his life off the field. A beast on the plate, Rodriguez’s baseball prowess was unquestionable. Retirement then brought him deeper into the business world. One of his least talked about stints after 2016 is the Shark Tank period, as well as how comments from fellow shark Barbara Corcoran fueled controversy.

A-Rod’s reputation as a serial dater has not faded in all the years he has given to the spotlight. Among his famous girlfriends was Jennifer Lopez, whom the ex-shortstop dated from 2017-2021. The Shark Tank stint overlapped those years but even a taken man was not enough to stop $100 million worth Corcoran.

Barbara Corcoran never saw Alex Rodriguez as just a colleague

Developing feelings for an individual one is familiar with is as natural as heartbreak. And Barbara Corcoran felt it too. Although A-Rod and J-Lo eventually split up, the investor was not afraid to shoot her shot. After all, someone like Alex Rodriguez was a desired entity!

In an interview on The Michelle Collins Show in 2018, the elite businesswoman shared as per nickiswift.com how she felt like Jennifer Lopez was her rival in love. “I’ve seen J.Lo twice, but to tell you the truth, she’s my enemy. Because I want Alex … He is really good-looking. He’s smart! I know I should be talking about that because that’s why he’s on the show … but overall, he is so good-looking.”

Back then, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were going strong. The ex-couple even got engaged to be married in 2019 but a number of issues prevented that wedding from ever happening. Notably, one was A-Rod’s alleged infidelity, although nothing was ever confirmed. And soon after Rodriguez and Lopez went their separate ways, Corcoran once again declared that she would not deny a date with baseballer-turned-businessman.

Corcoran once embarrassed herself in front of J-Lo and A-Rod

As if having someone she was interested in dating another woman wasn’t enough, Barbara Corcoran subjected herself to further humiliation. After hearing of their close bond, the singer invited the investor to a party she was hosting with her beau. Corcoran guessed they lived in New York from the tabloids, so she headed there.

Well, Corcoran was certainly not going to make it to the other coast in time for the bash. So she unfortunately had to miss it and felt a bit of unnecessary embarrassment.
