Following his pattern of making dramatic gestures after a breakup, Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez’s ex-fiancé, posted a cryptic message on Instagram on the same day J. Lo filed for divorce from Ben Affleck.
When news broke that Jennifer Lopez had officially filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, her ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez responded with a cryptic message on his Instagram Stories. On August 20, he shared a quote: “You either go one way or the other, you might as well be the one deciding the direction.”
Of course, it’s possible that A-Rod was simply sharing a quote without any specific intent. However, given the timing — right after J. Lo filed for divorce — it’s likely he was aware that people would be closely scrutinizing his posts. This suggests there could be a deeper meaning behind his message.
In 2022, Rodriguez made it clear that he harbored no ill will toward Lopez after their breakup, expressing admiration for her talents. On Martha Stewart’s podcast, he praised her, saying, “Look, we had a great time. The hardest worker and I think she is the greatest performer, live performer, in the world today that’s alive.”
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged in 2019 after years of speculation about their wedding. Unfortunately, the couple announced their breakup in March 2021, stating, “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so”
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage has unfortunately ended after two years. Recently, it was revealed that Lopez’s mother had urged her to divorce Ben Affleck as soon as possible.
