Just two weeks ago, Alex Rodriguez announced his split with Anne Wojcicki, the billionaire (?) ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. They had been together for about a year. Last month, we also learned that Jennifer Lopez and Drake’s romance fizzled, if it was ever that serious in the first place. What curious timing, right? Yeah, so it seems like A-Rod and J-Lo are now dating. God, Jennifer. This is such a bad call!
Jennifer Lopez is off the market again! The “On the Floor” singer, 47, is dating former MLB star Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez, a source confirms to PEOPLE. “They have been dating for a few weeks,” the source said.
“She seems excited,” a source close to Lopez told PEOPLE. “He has been around her family and she really likes that he is a dad. She is aware, though, that he is a ladies’ man too and is being cautious. For now, it’s just fun. She is single and enjoys dating.”
A rep for Rodriguez had no comment while a rep for Lopez has yet to comment. The news of their coupling was first reported by LoveBScott.com. Rodriguez, 41, recently ended his relationship with Silicon Valley CEO Anne Wojcicki in February after dating for just under a year. He has previously dated Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz, among other high profile A-listers. Meanwhile, the Shades of Blue star broke things off with Drake after a source who knows both of the entertainers told PEOPLE it was never an official relationship.
I know he’s rich and some people find him handsome, but you couldn’t pay me to date A-Rod. He makes all of his girlfriends “transform” to meet his physical standards. He wants all of his girlfriends to look like super-cut bodybuilders, and I’ve always thought that Kate Hudson got breast implants at his request while they were together. I could never be with a dude who was like, “You need to be more muscular and hard-looking!” And I can’t believe that Jennifer Lopez would be into that either. Granted, her body is already incredible, but she’s not cut like a bodybuilder. Jennifer will never NOT have a bad picker when it comes to men, right?
Also: I wonder if A-Rod still has those two paintings of himself as a centaur in his bedroom??

JLO has the worst taste in men.
This!
I used to work out with a personal trainer in which we often shared a small gym space with Arod and his trainer.
I cannot stress enough how incredibly unattractive I found him to be. He is dumb as a rock, kind of a brute, with no charm. Other than having lovely eyes, he’s really not attractive.
JLo can have her pick from a million better looking, smarter men with a modicum of charm – who bonus, don’t come with centaur paintings.
What is wrong with her picker??!!
She wants men she feels superior to. She likes them dumb but she may have underestimated how much she can (or can’t) manipulate him. Be single for a while J-Lo. Self esteem.
She needs a new make-up artist. That look, esp. the eyes, has not been working well for a whle now.
Ooh, that’s good scoop, thanks for sharing. I have also found him incredibly unattractive, looks wise and persona wise. Not to mention his cheating in baseball.
I also didn’t know he had kids, yikes. I think the only thing worse than dating him would be to be his kid.
Run, don’t walk, far far away, JLo!
not JUST a cheater, but a poor sport as well. I LOATHE this man. funny thing is, most Yankee fans I know don’t like him either. they acknowledge his contributions to the team but they all say “I wish he didn’t play for us”. and that he’s a “headcase”.
doofus, yes. My son is a huge baseball fan and ARod is one of the few players he doesn’t like, even thought he tends to try to find the good in just about anyone. He got a kick out of all the boos A Rod got, even at home games. Thankfully he’s not playing anymore but I think he’s employed by the Yankees as long as they’re still paying him.
A Rod was one of the most all around detested athletes in baseball. He was notoriously disliked in the locker room.
He is still being paid millions because his contract wasn’t up, but his production decreased so much it made more sense to pay him to not play and open a spot on the roster than it did to keep him on the roster for nothing. He also sued the Yankees for payments when he reached certain milestone, like for hits, etc, that they didn’t pay him for because of the PED’s. He’s a douche canoe all the way around.
Seriously!!! Her and Katy Perry. Just the worst at picking partners.
She really does.
This times 10000
Jennifer, run! RUN!!!
Isn’t A-Rod notoriously flinging his diseased man-parts around? I thought he dated a string of Hollywood starlets and had VD.
Am I wrong?
I actually think it’s kind of hot. Certainly better than getting back with Affleck.
It’s the equivalent of getting back with Affleck!! Where have you been? ARod cheats, gambles, loves hookers, is a narcissist, he is Affleck, Jlo loves her some bad boy.
This is the guy that when his main girlfriend leaves his penthouse he has other girls slipping in for quickies. Jennifer has horrible taste in men.
Say what you will about JLo but the woman is good for gossip.
Also, she needs to go without a man for a bit. She won’t die!!!
It is like she goes out of her way to date the sh&%!est men possible.
I won’t knock her from going from one relationship to the next because some people truly enjoy being in relationships, but it would be nice if she found a guy who was even half of what she is worth.
OT: I really like the silver outfit in the second photo. The first outfit came straight from Blanche Devereaux’s reject pile.
She goes out with who asks her. It’s Hollywood. She’s 48. No matter how hot she is, the pickings are slimmer, as the men go out with 20-somethings.
Many people like being in relationships or have a companion for dating. I agree. She just doesn’t seem to have standards.
I dont even think its her age. I think she is obsessed with scoring another tabloid relationship. She cant date an age appropriate nobody. It must be someone who will bring her coverage. If he doesnt gave a name for himself then he should at least be half her age, you know for the tabloid headlines. She doesnt mind if it fails, being “unlucky” in love is her brand. It probably even helps if a guy has a douchey rep because she can really play victim.
The first outfit is SO terrible.
In the silver jumpsuit outfit her eyes look like Melania Trump’s. That’s not a compliment.
With the first outfit, I actually like the pussybow blouse, but with that jacket it’s just TOO TOO much.
The first outfit truly is terrible. I love the silver jumpsuit though, but @Annetommy you are right, she looks like Melania in the eyes, which is NOT a good thing.
He slapped the ball out of Bronson Arroyo’s hand! Unforgivable! Sorry, got carried back to Game 6 of the 2004 ACLS for a minute. He’s a cheater. He cheats at everything.
I forgot about that karate chop! Still makes me chuckle.
Bronson! He hit MY Bronson Arroyo! And then pretended he should be able to take first base and Jeter should be allowed to score! Bronson!
But, for me, this is the highlight of A-Rod’s career
http://yanksgoyard.com/files/2014/07/varitek_arod.jpg
LOL I remember it like it was yesterday.
I remember that, too. and how he would yell “I got it!” while playing on offense to confuse the infielders who were all tracking the ball when it was a pop-up. he’s scum.
I honestly DO NOT understand how he thought he could get away with knocking a ball out of an opposing player’s glove. like no one would notice?! UGH…the arrogance of this guy…
During the 6th game of the ALCS between tow notorious rivals no less with half the country watching
And he hit sweet beloved Bronson Arroyo!
YAAS. HATE.
A-ROD?! Girl, love yourself!
This makes too much sense, I can’t believe it didn’t happen already actually. She has the worst man-picker I’ve ever seen. Except for my one cousin… sweetest young woman with brains and looks and great sense of humor and yet she chooses the WORST men. Why are some women like this????!
The first and only thing that comes to my mind is… Ewwww! He is so gross.
Tbh the Logic of this pairing is blowing my mind, she is Into an @sshole and he into women that he can Insecure out the paint… this is Kismet
Kismet. Bahahahahahahahaha
I know he’s douchey but wow this is hotness.
It’s so true! It’s just beautiful kismet
While not a fan of ARod, he gets points for dating women around his age. Also, he has his own $$ so that’s got to be a relief for Jen. The fact that he seems to inspire the women to up their bodybuilding? Hey, not a bad thing. Hudson likely got implants to model more effectively (in some ways) for her clothing line.
They dated way, WAY before she had a clothing line. And it’s not about bodybuilding in and of itself-it’s that he’s an abusive narcissist that starts out by saying, “hey! even tho I picked you, you’re not good enough for me. you need to do XYZ of exercise so you’ll be MY IDEAL.” That’s bullsh8t.
This sounds like gossip from like 2003.
EXACTLY my thought.
So I think this makes perfect sense.
A Rod is verifiably the worst. Where shall we start? With the creepy dynamics of his relationships? His cheating in the relationships? How about his cheating in baseball? Or his insistence on sueing so he could force the Yankees to let him play again? He is one of the most tarnished names in baseball, not just for his pharmaceutical shortcuts but for the fact that people detest the man. He is infamously disliked.
The screaming match with his wife on Boston Common in front of all the Freedom Trail tourists?
He is the worst. And not only is he the Worst, but he’s super needy. He wanted to be loved so bad, but seemed physically incapable of not pissing off everyone around him.
Whoa, really? I never heard about that!
A-rod is really just a tall, thinner Jon Lovitz.
DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve never found him to be even the slightest bit attractive. Maybe it’s the babyface that somehow isn’t cute?
JLo looks really awful when her eyelash glue makes her lids stuck together. Geez!
This kind of makes sense to me.
Heart failure. For a minute I thought you meant Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who also goes by A-Rod.
Honestly, J-Lo would be an improvement on the plastic faced one he is dating (who is in those truly awful Pro-Active commercials where she appears in a teenage boy’s bathroom and then the boy drops his towel).
I think it is virtually impossible for her to be without a man. Very needy and dependent. She wouldn’t have represented yesterday’s cause for women at all.
These two makes sense to me. Especially because they have a lot in common. Both being Latinos born in NYC. Both being big names who have both been around the Hollywood block several times over. And I highly doubt Jlo will lose herself with Alex making her do anything. I know Ms Diva dont let anyone tell her what to do. I personally think they are perfect for each other
This is the dude who reportedly gave his one-night stands “farewell” gift baskets and a bevy of starlets herpes in the early 2000s..and he has the face of a Monchichi.
Blech!
thought that was Jeter?…
That was Jeter. Different Yankee.
Yeah, that was Jeter, lol. At least he was trying to be kind?
but you get bonus points for the Monchichi reference.
This is probably for publicity just the way Drake was. This chick can’t sneeze without first posting it!
Has that guy had some face work done? His forehead looks incredible smooth, almost unnatural.
That picture of him smiling with his fingers crossed at front makes him look menacing. Like, he has some devious plan in the works and is just waiting for it to unfold. Heehawhawhawhaw.
Anyone else think so? Or is just me?
Maybe its that it’s been a while i’ve read some really good fiction. Shrugs.
just makes her look desperate to have a man in her face usual. geez, he is the worst.
So, has he stopped wearing the purple lip gloss?
*DEAD*
It can be fun when sports personalities cross over into other realms and we members of Red Sox Nation have a lot on A-Rod.
I don’t understand why women fall head over heels for him. He is handsome but not gorgeous. What do they see in him? Is it sexual? Is he a superstud in bed, what is it? His women are all rich and accomplished, not goldiggers so I am at loss here.
It’s fake! That girl can’t stand to be alone.
He gay.
Sure doesn’t take her long to move on! Takes me a while before I’m ready for the next. Has she ever been single for more than a few weeks?
This is awful but I am kind of looking forward to it. And what will the nickname be, J-Rod or A-Lo?
Lol that second picture of her looks like when a chihuahua sits in front of a fan and their eyes want to stay open but can’t because of the wind. Omg.
Fun fact: Centaurs are super rapey in greek mythology. It’s pretty much one of their defining characteristics.
I have rolled my eyes so hard at this news that they hurt. He’s an all-around tool and she’s an idiot when it comes to her love life. The inevitable breakup should be spectacular tabloid fodder. Here’s hoping she doesn’t completely lose it and rush down the aisle again.
Couple name: JRod
I’d almost rather see her back with Casper Smart. Yeah that bad.
Yeah, Arod will make any woman go crazy with insecurities.
I saw her on Andy Cohen last night and she exuded narcissism. She kept fixing her hair and looking down on her boobs. Andy asked her whether she would be nervous performing live at the Super Bowl and she said “yes” but she performs live ALL OF THE TIME. Yah, right. She was with Ray Liotta on the show, and Andy asked him his favorite and least favorite J-Lo songs and he said he really didn’t know any except for Jenny from the Block, which had been mentioned on the show earlier. She protested by saying that he had been at her show in Vegas, but he still couldn’t think of any other song. It was fantastic.
Ugh! She can’t be single for a second, so weird to me.
She is the Elizabeth Taylor of the modern era. She seems to love love no matter who it is with.
I wish JLo would stop with the “Melania” squint. It’s not a good look on her. Agree that she needs to update her makeup.
Otherwise, the woman is a goddess and I say that without being even remotely a fan of her or her music.
