Alex Rodriguez Posts Cryptic Message on Instagram Following Jennifer Lopez’s Divorce Filing
Shortly after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, Alex Rodriguez, who was previously engaged to the Grammy Award winner, posted a cryptic message on Instagram. The quote attributed to the retired MLB player said, “You either go one way or the other, you might as well be the one deciding the direction.”
Lopez filed for divorce on the two-year anniversary of their Georgia wedding, and representatives for Affleck and Lopez did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Rodriguez and Lopez officially ended their engagement in April 2021 after dating since 2017.
In a joint statement after their breakup, the former couple said they realized they were better as friends and would continue to support each other. Lopez then began dating Affleck, but Rodriguez expressed no ill will, saying he was grateful for the time they had together.
Affleck and Lopez first got married in a surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2022 and later had a backyard ceremony at Affleck’s Georgia mansion. Rumors about their split intensified when Affleck did not attend Lopez’s birthday party, leading sources to confirm that the couple was “totally done.”
Earlier this year, Affleck opened up about the public scrutiny their relationship faced in the early 2000s in a documentary, saying that private moments are sacred. Lopez, inspired by their experiences, worked on new music and a film project.
The cryptic message from Rodriguez on Instagram adds another layer to the ongoing drama surrounding the high-profile relationships of these Hollywood stars.
