Having your ex seemingly move on – that’s hard. Having them move on with the world and his wife watching? That’s even harder.
So we can understand why Alex Rodriguez might have been feeling a bit salty as he was asked about his ex Jennifer Lopez’s apparent reunion with Ben Affleck.
In a showbiz world plot twist we did not see coming – kudos to the writers – exes Jennifer, 51, and Ben, 48, were pictured returning from a getaway in Montana.
The pair, who were engaged to be married in 2003 before calling off the wedding, spent a few days alone together in Montana, as exes do, and the internet was ablaze with speculation that Bennifer is back.
Alex, 45, was out and about in Miami when a Page Six reporter asked him: ‘What do you think about the news about Jennifer and Ben? Are you doing ok? Did you know they were in Montana together?’
The athlete simply replied: ‘Go Yankees’ before getting in his car.
Now, the baseball star is a Yankees man, having played for the New York team between 2004 and 2013 and 2015 and 2016.
But due to the nature of the questioning, his pledge of allegiance to the Yankees seems rather shady, considering his apparent love rival is a huge fan of the Red Sox.
The rivalry between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox is one of the most famous and most intense in American sports.
Ben, who grew up in Massachusetts, is a diehard Red Sox fan, so much so that in the movie Gone Girl, he had a row with director David Fincher when he wanted him to wear a Yankees cap in a scene.
The actor told the New York Times: ‘I said, “David, I love you, I would do anything for you. But I will not wear a Yankees hat. I just can’t. I can’t wear it because it’s going to become a thing, David. I will never hear the end of it. I can’t do it.” And I couldn’t put it on my head.
‘It was an uprising; it was a coup, I rioted. It was a one-man riot against the Yankees.’
The pair ended up compromising on Ben wearing a Mets cap.
Alex and Jennifer confirmed in April that they were ending their engagement after four years together, saying in a joint statement: ‘We have realised we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so.
‘We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children.
‘Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.’
However, Jennifer spending time with her ex Ben seems to have thrown Alex for a loop, as a source told E!: ‘A-Rod is shocked that J.Lo has moved on. He truly thought they would be able to make it work and reconnect.
‘He has been reaching out to J.Lo trying to meet with her and she has been very short with him.’
Bennifer have remained close in recent years, with Ben even praising his ex’s ageless looks in a recent InStyle interview, but they have yet to comment on their apparent reunion.
As well as JLo being single, Ben recently split from Knives Out actress Ana de Armas after a year of dating.
