After breaking up with J. Lo, Alex Rodriguez became close to the ex-lover of Ben Affleck

The relationship of 51-year-old Jennifer Lopez after breaking up with 45-year-old Alex Rodriguez is reminiscent of a real Brazilian TV series. While Jen herself has resumed a relationship with 48-year-old ex-lover Ben Affleck and is enjoying this romance, Alex Rodriguez has become close to Ben's ex-girlfriend Lindsay Shukus.

Page Six reported that last weekend Alex attended a private party Lindsay, which she arranged on the occasion of her 41st birthday. According to insiders, Rodriguez, along with other close friends of the TV producer, was spotted in the backyard of a house in the Hamptons, where they were having fun. At the same time, a representative of Rodriguez has already commented on his relationship with Shukus and called them "purely platonic".

There's no romance there. They've been friends for 15 years,

"I'm not sure," he said.

Recall that Ben Affleck began dating Lindsay Shookus in 2017, just a few months after he officially filed for divorce from Jennifer Garner. In 2018, they broke up, and in 2019, they briefly got back together.

Along with this, the same publication PageSix reported that Alex Rodriguez recently rented a five-million-dollar mansion on Long Island, which is just a three-minute drive from Jennifer Lopez's home. All hints that the baseball star is not yet ready to finally accept the departure of Jen and tries to be as close to her as possible.

By the way, Lopez herself now spends most of her time in Los Angeles, where Ben Affleck lives. They recently went to a birthday dinner together for Jennifer's younger sister. At this party, Affleck saw Lopez's children from a previous relationship. According to insiders, Ben gets along well with Max and Emma, and they are absolutely delighted with him.

Her children really like Ben, they find him funny and funny. He completely captivated the Jen family with his charm. Ben is good with children. He asked them questions, smiled a lot. They all left the party together. Ben opened the car door and made sure the kids got in. His smile never left his face all evening. He seemed very happy— " said people close to Affleck and Lopez.
