The unexpected breakup of Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez may have taken fans by surprise, but the ex-Yankee is likely to recover if his impressive dating history is any indication.
Lopez was far from the first celebrity girlfriend of the professional athlete, who maintained relationships with some of the biggest names in entertainment.
Check out the famous ex-A-Rod lovers below.
Jennifer Lopez
Page Six confirmed in early March 2017 that the stars were dating, with a source saying, “They really like each other because they have so much in common – from their Latin roots to their love for New York and their children.”
Shortly after celebrating their two-year anniversary, the couple announced their engagement in March 2019.
Page Six revealed exclusively in March 2021 that J-Rod was no more. Miami sources revealed that the duo was in trouble in February and, in March, were in different cities.
Apparently, a recent scandal between “Southern Charm” star Madison LeCroy and Rodriguez was to blame for the split, with a source calling him “the reason why they finally broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed about it. “
Anne Wojcicki
The founder of 23andMe dated A-Rod for just under a year, ending in February 2017.
“They were an unusual couple, from very different backgrounds, but they were both smart entrepreneurs and had some things in common, including their fascination with the world of technology. But, maybe in the end, they were a little bit different, ”said a source at the time.
Torrie Wilson
Rodriguez and fighter / model Torrie Wilson started dating in late 2011 and used to be seen working together. They reportedly broke up in 2014 because Rodriguez was not ready for a higher level of commitment.
“Alex and Torrie would fight over their flirting with other women, and he was not ready to settle down again,” a source told Page Six at the time.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz dated the athlete for just over a year between 2010-2011. She also met her children and reportedly moved to Miami to be closer to him.
The duo split only a month after the actress confirmed her romance with Elle UK in June 2011, allegedly due to conflicting times.
Diaz married musician Benji Madden in 2015.
Kate Hudson
Often seen in the stands cheering for her man, Kate Hudson dated the ex-Yankee for seven months, ending in December 2009.
Hudson teased brother Oliver Hudson during a 2020 episode of “Watch What Happens Live”, where she confronted her brother for inviting A-Rod on his “Daddy Issues” podcast.
“You didn’t even say, like, ‘Hey, like, look, I’m thinking of interviewing your ex-boyfriend. That’s great? ‘”Kate, 41, said, with Oliver, 43, simply answering,“ I don’t want to get a’ no ‘. “
Bethenny Frankel
The former “Real Housewives of New York” star confirmed in 2017 that she and A-Rod saw each other briefly, telling “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen, “I went out with him on two dates”.
Madonna
Although neither Rodriguez nor the pop queen confirmed their romance, rumors have swirled for months that the duo started an affair shortly before the athlete’s divorce in 2008.
Rodriguez’s most recent ex-boyfriend, Lopez, even joked about wearing Madonna’s iconic look “Like A Virgin” during her Halloween party in 2020.
When asked by Andy Cohen if his costume choice was “weird”, given Rodriguez and Madonna’s supposed romance, J.Lo laughed at it.
“No. I mean, it was a long, long time ago,” she replied. “I don’t know. No, it was not at all strange. I loved.”
Cynthia Scurtis
Former psychology professor Cynthia Scurtis married the former MLB star in 2002. The relationship lasted six years, during which they welcomed daughters Natasha and Ella.
Scurtis filed for divorce in 2008 because of his children’s “emotional abandonment” as well as infidelity.
“The parties’ marriage is irretrievably broken because of the husband’s extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct,” said divorce documents obtained by The Seattle Times.
