The 47-year-old former professional baseball player, Alex Rodriguez touched on his relationship with his ex-partner Jennifer Lopez.
He recently made an appearance on HBO Max’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? where the host grilled him by asking if he is bothered by the fact that his ex rekindled her relationship with actor Ben Affleck and “ended up getting married to him, not you?”
The businessman shared, “With Jennifer, look, it was it was a good experience. And I wish her and the children, who are smart, and beautiful and wonderful — I wish them the very best,” he said. “That’s it.”
Rodriguez, who goes by the nickname A-Rod also responded on whether he would be a “good husband material” with the star sharing,
“I think when you look at my life, Chris, I mentioned when I was 15 years old … I think Sports Illustrated called me a top player in the country. And at that time, I was Alex Rodriguez. And then somewhere along the way, at 24, I get a $200 million dollar contract, and probably, I lost my way a little bit. I became A-Rod.”
The difference between his own self Rodriguez and his alter-ego A-Rod is a distinction between his two phases of life that happened before and after his suspension from the league in 2014 for using steroids.

They took the next step in their relationship with the businessman proposing to the singer on the beach in 2019. Their wedding finally came to reports though it was delayed because of the COVID Pandemic.
The two officially called off their engagement in April last year stating, “we are better as friends.”
That is when Ben Affleck came into the singer’s life. Their old romance rekindled the same year with the couple getting engaged before finally getting married in Las Vegas in July this year.
They also threw three-day intimate wedding celebrations which took place on Affleck’s estate in Riceboro, Georgia two months ago.
