Former MLB player Alex Rodriguez took to social media to share an insightful quote following the news of his ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez filing for divorce from Ben Affleck. Rodriguez, who was engaged to Lopez from 2019 to 2021, shared the quote on his Instagram Stories, coinciding with the public announcement of Lopez and Affleck's split after two years of marriage.
This recent development comes after Lopez had rekindled her romance with Affleck following her separation from Rodriguez earlier in 2021. The couple had initially been linked in 2017 and announced their engagement in March 2019, only to call it off in April 2021. In their statement regarding the breakup, they expressed their intentions to remain friends and continue their collaborative efforts in business and projects while supporting each other.
Since then, Rodriguez has moved on and is currently dating personal trainer Jaclyn Cordeiro. However, his recent quote shared on Instagram suggests that he still holds admiration for Lopez. In a 2022 appearance on the Martha Stewart Podcast, Rodriguez expressed his admiration for Lopez, praising her as the "most talented human being" he's ever been around. He commended her as the hardest worker and hailed her as "the greatest live performer in the world that's alive today."
Throughout their relationship, Rodriguez emphasized the importance of prioritizing their children. As father to daughters Natasha and Ella from his previous marriage, he highlighted how they always put the kids front and center in their endeavors.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on Tuesday, with the date of separation listed as April 26, 2024. Interestingly, the filing coincided with the second anniversary of their second ceremony held in Georgia, following their initial wedding service in Las Vegas two months prior. Reports indicate that there may not be a prenuptial agreement in place, although this is yet to be confirmed.
Rumors of trouble in their relationship had been circulating for some time, but neither Lopez nor Affleck have publicly addressed the situation. Just a few months ago, Lopez spoke about their "real, true love" and how their reunion inspired her to create her album "This Is Me... Now." She attributed their unexpected reunion as a surreal miracle that sparked her creativity.
As news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's split continues to make headlines, it remains to be seen how the couple will navigate this new chapter in their lives. Fans and followers are left to speculate on the reasons behind their separation, while Rodriguez's shared quote offers a glimpse into his perspective on the matter.
