Jennifer Lopez has reportedly reconnected with her former fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, following her recent breakup with Ben Affleck.
According to RadarOnline, sources claim that Rodriguez reached out to Lopez after news broke that Affleck had been spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The breakup between Lopez and Affleck, which ended their two-year marriage earlier this year, has been difficult for the pop star, prompting Rodriguez to check in on her.
An insider close to Rodriguez shared that the ex-MLB star still holds concern for Lopez’s well-being. “He still cares about her,” the source explained. “He knows breakups in the public eye can be brutal, and he wanted to make sure she was okay.”
Lopez and Rodriguez were engaged for four years before they split in 2021, stating at the time that they were better off as friends. Now, amid Lopez’s emotional turmoil post-Affleck, there’s growing speculation that the two might rekindle their bond.
Meanwhile, Lopez has reportedly been struggling to move forward romantically. A source revealed that while she’s open to dating again, she’s finding it hard because no potential partner seems to compare to Affleck. “She still has feelings for him,” the source said, suggesting that unresolved emotions might be preventing her from starting fresh.
Affleck, on the other hand, appears to have moved on more easily. He’s been frequently spotted with Garner, and this renewed closeness has been painful for Lopez to witness—especially a recent viral clip of the two together, which reportedly hit her hard.
Adding to the tension, Affleck has allegedly been distancing himself from Lopez and ignoring her messages. Reports claim that he was particularly annoyed by one of Lopez’s February Instagram posts that read, “Self-love don’t cost a thing,” which many interpreted as a veiled jab at him.
Sources close to Affleck say he’s been frustrated with Lopez’s social media behavior, suggesting he felt there were still unresolved feelings lurking beneath the surface—especially regarding her past with Rodriguez.
