From 2017 to 2021, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, as a couple, were a hot topic in the town. Their relationship encompassed an adorable journey that grew from them being mere acquaintances to lovers, who redefined the concept of celebrity relationships and love. And analogous to their developing fandom, their breakup triggered a long list of rumors.

These rumors stemmed from A-Rod’s negative history surrounding infidelity and JLo getting back together with Ben Affleck in little to no time after her breakup. Similarly, a 2021 report claims that JLo cheated on A-Rod with her current husband Ben Affleck, and the future couple shared emails with each other, while she was engaged to A-Rod.
Did Jennifer Lopez actually cheat on Alex Rodriguez?
Notably, A-Rod and JLo officially broke up in April 2021. On the other hand, JLo and Affleck’s relationship officially rekindled in June 2021 after their separation in 2003. Given the short span between the breakup and the new relationship, rumors about JLo’s potential infidelity were born. As reported by TMZ in a “Your Tango” article, Affleck wrote to JLo and told her how beautiful she was, and wished to be next to her.
JLo, on the other hand, did not shy away from these flirtatious comments. And said that Ben Affleck could “own her heart with his pen.”
Around a similar time, cheating rumors of A-Rod were born too, where the shortstop was physically involved with reality TV star, Madison LeCroy.
How did the breakup affect the star Yankee?
After their breakup, A-Rod found comfort in spending long hours with friends and family. Eventually, in December 2021, he started dating fitness model Kathryne Padgett. Though, the relationship lasted only a few months before they called it quits in August 2022. Since then, A-Rod and fitness coach Jaclyn Cordeiro have displayed their new relationship eagerly through their social media handles.
