In the whirlwind world of celebrity relationships, only a few have captured the public’s attention quite like the romance between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Their unraveling love story, which was once filled with passion, nostalgia, and a fair share of drama, has kept fans on the edge of their seats.
However, as they navigate the complexities of their ongoing divorce, some are beginning to wonder if the 55-year-old might have made a mistake in leaving behind the singer’s actual true love, Alex Rodriguez.
After all, their 4-year love affair was the talk of the town ever since it began back in 2017. Although the power couple seemed to be head over heels for each other, their romance fell apart when they called off their engagement in 2021.
Could Alex Rodriguez have been the one for Jennifer Lopez?
Over the years, Jennifer Lopez has been in and out of various high-profile relationships, including her one with Ben Affleck. However, before the soon-to-be exes got back together, the actress had found love with the MLB star, Alex Rodriguez.
Although their relationship ended up being short-lived, the musician seemed to be the happiest with him. In an interview on The Breakfast Club, she opened up about how amazing their love affair was.
We love each other. We do, we have a lot of love and respect and admiration for each other and that is so nice. I also have never been with somebody who like, lets me be the full shine shining JLo of myself and all the sides of me. Like that’s what makes me really happy because you always want something and he’s like, ‘just go baby’.
Lopez seemed to be the best version of herself with the 49-year-old. However, the couple was unable to make certain things work, which led to their engagement being called off in 2021.
Although that seemed to pave the way for the actress to get back on talking terms with Affleck, it did not work out the way she had once hoped. After all, with just two years of marriage behind them, Bennifer called it quits due to irreconcilable differences.
The reasons for Affleck and Lopez splitting have still been making their way online. However, the 55-year-old chose to stay mum on why she and the former baseball star had broken off their engagement in 2021.
Why Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez split up
Ever since they got together in 2017, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s relationship has been all over the tabloids and social media. Although they seemed like an unlikely pairing, the couple managed to keep their relationship going until 2021. While they both wished each other well in public, a source close to the singer told People why things had worked out for the couple.
She (Lopez) has been pretty miserable and didn’t think it was in her best interests to stay with Alex.
Although nothing had gone wrong in their relationship, the insider claimed that Lopez could not fully trust Rodriguez. They added, “She insisted on it. There are too many issues that are unresolved.” After all, there were many rumors of a cheating scandal when the couple was still together. However, there was no proof of those claims.
The world might never know the real reasons behind Lopez and Rodriguez’s break up. However, sources close to the actress seem to believe his reputation as an alleged cheater had definitely put some strain on their relationship.
