As we know now, Alex Rodriguez proposed to Jennifer Lopez – finally! – over the weekend, while they were on holiday in the Bahamas. The reason I say “finally” is because Jennifer made it clear that she wanted and expected a proposal, and she’s been dropping hints for a full year. I still say that the proposal was part of some kind of ultimatum, but we’ll probably never know for sure. People Magazine has been all over it, because of course, so we get these sugary pieces about how Jen and Alex are “soulmates.”
Jennifer Lopez didn’t see Alex Rodriguez’s proposal coming, a source tells PEOPLE.
“Jennifer is ecstatic and so are their families and friends. Very few people knew Alex planned on proposing. It was very much a surprise for Jennifer,” the source says. “It was just how Alex wanted it.”
Opening up about how Rodriguez’s decision to pop the question during the couple’s romantic getaway to the Bahamas was “very fitting,” the source explains that the destination “has always been very special to them…Very early on in their relationship, they snuck away to the Bahamas to get to know each other in privacy,” the source adds.
“They are incredible together. Very much soulmates that bring out the best in each other and are so supportive of each other,” the source says. “From the start, they moved very quickly. Their relationship was always very passionate. Jennifer quickly fell very hard for Alex. And she quickly started planning for their future.”
That’s all well and good but can you really say that A-Rod is your soulmate when he’s your fifth fiance? Just asking! I’m actually happy for Jennifer, because I think she and A-Rod do suit each other. That being said… of course there’s already drama. Back in the day, A-Rod had an affair/relationship with Jessica Canseco, ex-wife of Jose Canseco. Jessica and A-Rod apparently kept in touch. They’re apparently STILL in touch, at least according to Jose Canseco.
Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is

I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone

Alex Rodriguez stop being a piece of shit stop cheating on Jennifer Lopez

Alex Rodriguez I challenge you to a boxing match or an MMA match anytime you want
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) March 11, 2019
I am willing to take a polygraph to prove that what I'm saying about Alex Rodriguez is 100% accurate
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) March 11, 2019
So… there’s that. Welp. I mean, we knew A-Rod was a cheater, right? This isn’t a surprise? The only surprise is that Jose Canseco is outing him. But the truth is, this will probably make Jennifer even more hellbent on marrying Alex.

Jose seems like a real PoS.
Funny how he only lets this information that CLEARLY bothered him so much out once they’re celebrating an engagement. He wants his name back in the news.
I don’t doubt that A-Rod is a cheater. But I don’t think he’s the only garbage person involved here.
I agree, he definitely held on to this information until they got engaged and then wanted to blow it up as spectacularly as possible. I do buy that it’s possible that he’s cheating on her, because it’s a rod, but the way he chose to divulge this information is pretty shady.
Especially when he immediately follows it up with a boxing/mma fight challenge. It’s pathetically transparent. It seems to be the goal of all the washed up “celebrities” lately – I feel like he’s been watching too much youtube and watched the Paul’s fights and became inspired or something xD
Okay, sure, Jose could have said this earlier, BUT, dating someone is a whole lot different than being engaged. A-Rod may have been telling his side chicks that he and J.Lo were on the way out, or that they were just together for PR, and not really a couple, and then he proposes.
Jose probably has an axe to grind with A Rod and is enjoying being able to muck up his moment.
Not really – I think that’s a ridiculous excuse. Jose is responsible for Jose. He also shouldn’t be able to lean on that as an excuse because how in the hell would he know what the sidepieces are supposedly being told? And if he had so much concern for J-Lo, he could have approached her privately. He just wanted to turn this into a huge spectacle.
I think most people who are “dating” expect fidelity unless it is expressly discussed otherwise. Somehow I doubt J-Lo was like, sure, you do you!
I agree @Anon33, but A-Rod is an experienced cheater, so I’m sure he has practice hiding that part of his life if he wants to.
I also agree that dating vs. getting engaged are two different scenarios in terms of seriousness. I have witnessed friends date trash people, and although I say something I usually don’t push/harp too hard because I’m not trying to lose my friendship over something that isn’t serious/the person themselves involved can end with minimal damage. Also people who know subconsciously that their SO is trash get mad defensive when you bring it up, and if you’re bringing it up frequently they might just start tuning you out in general. I think that’s why a lot of people keep quiet in the early stages. Once it starts getting more intense relationship wise all bets are off though. These out of the woodwork confessionals from friends, families, and foes happen all the time when people move to the next level be it a baby, moving in, or a wedding (hence the whole “Speak now or forever hold your peace”). If he really wanted to grab headlines he could’ve waited until a week before the wedding to drop the news.
The difference between Canseco and I is that I’m friends with these people, so I blast them privately with love. Canseco and A-Rod are not, so of course he wouldn’t be tactful, and I don’t see why anyone would think he would be. It’s also not his responsibility to sugarcoat Alex’s transgressions if he doesn’t want to, and if A-Rod doesn’t want people coming after him don’t give them ammo. There’s also the scenario that he tried telling J.Lo or her people privately and they either wouldn’t listen or he couldn’t get through. More than likely he doesn’t even have her contact info like that, so he can’t tell her that way. There’s also the possibility that if he said something earlier publicly J.Lo could’ve just brushed it off with help from A Rod and/or he could’ve become better at hiding what he was doing. By saying something now, and if true, A Rod has left enough clues for people to confirm.
So when is does “dating” become “being in a committed, exclusive relationship”? When am I allowed to feel betrayed when my partner is having a sidepiece? After calling yourself girlfriend / boyfriend, or moving in together, or engagement, or even marriage? What if it takes a couple of years before getting engaged? Is only “half bad” when my partner cheats on me?
Good lord, he was with her for 2 years before they got engaged. I’d say at some point it got ‘serious’.
The issue is – it’s not really Conseco’s business either way. If he was doing this out of the goodness of his heart and out of concern for J-Lo he’d have done it differently. “More than likely he doesn’t even have her contact info like that, so he can’t tell her that way. ” so he couldn’t have DMd her on twitter or something like that? And why are people bending over backwards to make up scenarios where Conseco – beater of multiple women – was clearly just doing the right thing. Let’s be serious – the most obvious answer is the most likely one here. Conseco wanted attention. He’s had gun issues, impaired driving issues, battery issues, domestic abuse issues, failures to show up for custody dispute court dates, doping issues, trying to bring hormone drugs over the border. He was accused of rape on twitter and responded by posting defamatory information about his accuser. The dude is a piece of trash, he’s been a piece of trash since the late 80s. Let’s stop thinking he’s got great intentions or that he’s the adult in this situation.
A-Rod isn’t some unknown guy on the block (unintentional pun and I’m standing by it) – he’s a serial cheater. It’s public knowledge. JLo is an adult woman who can read. She knew what she was going in to – this isn’t the same as a family friend or relative making bad choices in partners. She’s been with A-Rod for over 2 years at this point – it’s clearly been serious for quite some time. Canseco is just lashing out at a time that he sees as an opportunity for a cash grab. He could have waited until a wedding -but let’s be serious – he doesn’t have a grasp on impulse control. He’s not a bright man, and he’s not a kind man. He was probably thrilled to pull this stunt.
And I’m sorry- waiting until a couple are moving in together, having a baby together, or already are engaged to bring up issues with their partner is a dumb move. There’s a difference between casually dating and becoming ‘official’ and anyone who sees actual issues with the kind of person their loved one is with should be bringing them up around that point to avoid the kind of financial hardships that could cause to their friends.
Jose Canseco is an absolute ass and I’m sure he did this more to stick it to his ex and A-Rod than out of genuine concern for Jennifer. The guy beat the s*** out of the woman he’s outing as A-Rod’s mistress, he deserves to rot.
However, I think Jose Canseco could get a message to Jennifer Lopez about as easily as any of us could, which is to say, he couldn’t. There’s no way he’s got any connections with people she knows and sending her official twitter or Instagram account a message would be as useless as one of us trying to get in touch with her that way.
@Zip Those are questions that you have to discuss with your SO, seeing as how people have different timelines and definitions.
@Erinn I only created the scenarios because you said, “And if he had so much concern for J-Lo, he could have approached her privately,” to show situations where that might not have been the case. I’m fully aware that Canseco is using this for his own gain, and again, I don’t know why anyone would expect him not to. I’m moreso arguing for Lonnie’s original point.
“She knew what she was going in to – this isn’t the same as a family friend or relative making bad choices in partners.”
I would argue that if she knew about his past then this is exactly the same as family friends making bad choices in partners. Out of all the guys in the world and with her resources A Rod is the one she wants to settle with? Especially when he has shown he’s not the settling type?
“There’s a difference between casually dating and becoming ‘official’ and anyone who sees actual issues with the kind of person their loved one is with should be bringing them up around that point to avoid the kind of financial hardships that could cause to their friends.”
I agree, but this only works if the person involved is receptive to listening and taking feedback. It doesn’t work if the person is adamant that their SO is the one for them (and J.Lo has shown that mindset about him for at least a year) which is what I meant in my original post and should’ve clarified. At that point you have to make a choice about whether you want to continue pointing out faults and alienate your friend/push them closer to the SO, or hope that eventually your friend sees the issues themselves and ends it. The latter usually happens, but if it doesn’t, and it moves to a different stage, of course people are going to be bringing up complaints/dug up info. The stakes are now higher due to the people involved not listening to others when they were originally low. This isn’t the first pre-nuptial character blast in history and it won’t be the last.
Jose’s tweets read like my ex when manic/psychotic. The man could draw compelling connections between anything but it was all based on his misinterpretation of reality. It was maddening because others couldn’t see how insane it was until I explained why each inference was BS. Obviously I don’t have the facts here but there’s something about this that “feels” like that.
Both A-Rod and Jose Canseco cheated on baseball by using steroids
I believe Canseco is doing JLo a favor. I hope she takes her time before running to the alter, her track records are not good. Now she cannot say she was not warned. Canseco is shady but he is truthful from what I remembered.
Lightpurple: +1 Thank you for pointing this out! Neither of these guys has much of a moral compass.
Jose may not be the most reliable source, but I totally buy this. ARod definitely strikes me as the have his cake and eat it too, type. He’s the old school equivalent of sliding into your DMs even though he has an official chick.
👍👍👍👍
Jose also outed MLB steroid use early on and everyone called him a liar.
Also when you look at A-Rod’s exes Jessica is far more his type than JLo.😶😶
Totally agree!! After seeing this last night, I looked up Jessica’s IG. She’s pretty fit, has a nice ass & ARod was following her. She wasn’t following him tho. I totally believe this & it sucks.
You make 2 great points here. Canseco’s problematic for so many reasons, but that doesn’t mean he’s not right on some things. On another note, why does Lopez always have to pose so dramatically? What a lovely thing it would be to see her relax and get over herself.
@Jegede Seriously. If this isn’t A-Rod’s EXACT type, I don’t know what is.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BX4Ge-3hcbj/?hl=en
@Jegede – I was just coming on here to write the same thing. Even his ex-wife is just a copy of Jessica Canseco. I wonder if a huge appeal for ARod (with JLo) is all of the media attention he gets now. Without JLo, I think most of us wouldn’t think about him from one year to the next.
Yep, I think it is definitely plausible
Not surprised Canseco is outing them. Canseco is just one of those people who you forget about and then about 2 years later see him in the news foraccidentally shooting his own hand or illegally transporting goats in diapers.
Peanutbutter, please comment more. On all the things.
Monicack, both of those stories are true.
The hand shooting infuriates me, not because the idiot shot himself, that’s typical for Jose, but that man had a gun at all after being charged with domestic violence by both of his ex-wives. He attacked the first one by ramming his car into hers.
Holy sh** 😂
I was like “what a random thing to make up, goats in diapers?” He is the awful gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks guys. I just…can’t.
IN TEARS LAUGHING OVER HERE. OMG.
Obvs not at the ex-wife-car-ramming, It was the goats in diapers that got me.
Lol same
Peanutbutter 😅😅😅😅
That so rings right. He did some cheesy “celebrity” reality thing just clutching to any form of fame with the last shred of dignity he had left. Well, as much dignity as a woman beater has.
You’re right about these random celebs coming out of their asshole to say something tricky. A lot of past sports people feel forgotten after a career with a short shelf life and cling to past fame even if it means shooting their own hand or diapering goats or going on a reality show where he kept gagging over Janice Dickinsons butt. Don’t ask.
A call, if it happened, doesn’t necessarily mean cheating by the way. Could be a heads up. Or a hello.
LMAO. GOAT!
Illegally transporting goats in diapers…😆😆😆
Was this tweet sponsored by Pay-Per-View?
Wasnt he convicted of beating her? Id like to see some evidence before i believe anything he says
Jose beat both of his ex-wives.
Yeah Jose is a douche but Jennifer’s picker is so off it’s equivalent to a bomb. She’s a serial monogonist. Unfortunately, her partners aren’t.
With that being the case, it wouldn’t be surprising if part of his motive for making this public was to continue to abuse his ex.
It’s infuriating that he’s inserting himself into her business 20 YEARS after their divorce.
On the plus side, the few articles I’ve read about this do mention that he hit her, so he’s not getting off totally scot-free in his little publicity grab/abusive dig at Jessica.
A true messy nemesis.
J.Lo will have a huge wedding and an even bigger divorce years later cause that’s how she rolls. And A-Rod is a thirsty dude.
He is super gross on many levels.
But I would be suprised if ARod is 100% faithful…
That first photo is exhausting.
The return of one of the Bash Brothers!
He’s kooky and he speaks again finally!!
He actually gave out his number on Twitter and told A-Rod to call him! (Assuming it was his number; I didn’t call it.) Good use of tweet-and-delete.
From what I really was last night it was his agent’s number. Could you imagine being this guy’s agent? Lol
Oh, no! I hope he got a heads-up, at least. Oy…
He just wants attention and to be messy. He has been saying the same thing since 2008. He is divorced and his ex wife has moved on. Also Arod has managed to have a successful broadcasting career post baseball and I smell jealousy.
A-Rod has always been a huge cheater and J.Lo has the worst taste in men. I believe Jose.
Jessica’s skirt in that pic is the pattern that was on my futon cover circa 1986.
Not a surprise.
ARod was caught cheating on his ex wife with a Jessica lookalike.
Everyone’s forgotten the stories of ARod cheating on then girlfriend, Cameron Diaz, with a slew of women, before Diaz had barely left their NY apartment.🙁🙁
Yup….A-Rod is just as gross as Canseco!
A-Rod is a psycho gaslighter and cheater who apparently gave up his soul for his baseball career…
Life is too short to deal with BS hoes—-t
But if J-Lo loves it…
I STILL HATE IT!!!!
No one deserves to be cheated on but at the same time, this is who A Rod has ALWAYS been and I doubt J Lo was unaware of it. Jose Conseco is trash to do this though–and publicly, at that.
I can’t imagine their marriage will last.
But, how can we think badly of a guy who has a painting of himself as a centaur above his bed? I’m sure he’s the epitome of honestly and faithfulness. lol!
A-Rod = serial cheater. JC = wife beater. JLo = picks the wrong guy.
All 3 are drama queens in it for the publicity.
JLo, really…engaged 5x, marriage #4. Girl, that does not make you the hottest chick all the guys want. It makes you a female who needs therapy to work thru your issues.
I don’t care about any of them in the long run.
I think she is so beautiful. And she doesnt age. She can do so much better, what is she doing???
I don’t get it either – she is really beautiful, in amazing shape, and hugely successful in a multitude of fields (I don’t think she’s super talented but still extremely successful). Why does she always go for these uggo guys, or guys with issues?
Yesterday I watched a video that suggested she may have narcissistic traits and chooses the men that shower her with attention and love. They also insinuated ARod to not be 100% straight either so 😬
I pretty much believe that both things are true: A-Rod is cheating on JLo. And Canseco is a hot mess with fame thirst and all kinds of toxic masculinity.
This wont stop J Lo, she likes being in love and she doesn’t give up on love even if ARod cheats on her now or next time. I see her as the next Liz Hurley. I don’t know if she’s happy but she seems ok with that.
Jennifer can never, ever be on her own. She always needs a man. She can’t function without a boyfriend and if he’s her boyfriend, she will quickly want him to be her husband.
This, exactly.
Jessica Canseco is a bird! Sorry, she just looks SO much like Kaitlin Olsen (Sweet Dee from Always Sunny) in that picture.
Hahaaa Oh my days you’re so right!
Wow, those tweets are astoundingly pathetic.
Eh, trouble in paradise makes for good gossip.
To me it seems like JLo is a woman who not only can’t be without a man, but must also have a rock on her finger to prove her worth. My sense is that puts her in a vulnerable spot w the men she’s been with, none of whom have seemed worthy of her at all. And I’m not a fan. I just think she could do so much better than the guys she’s been with, inc this one…
Agreed. She loves being in love even if it’s with a douche. Reminds me of Gwen Stefani.
After you’ve been married and engaged as many times as her you can’t really say congratulations on the proposal because you’re sure it won’t be the last one.
First of all, I applaud the people article. It is impossible to make a poece of information any more washy washy than this: it was such a surprise for Jennifer and then two sentences later- she fell hard and fast and started planning their future together right away! …
Second of all, if you are so convinced of something as private and intimate as cheating and feel strongly about inserting yourself in a relationship, why not try to reach out to JLo or ARod directly. This is just such a bad taste.
I really hope he’s not cheating on/doesn’t cheat on JLo. She is so amazing. If JLo can’t keep her man, what’s to save the rest of us?
Jk, but really I hope not.
omg i feel the same lol
No…. she looks amazing. We know nothing about what she’s really like. Her whole life is crafted image.
I wonder why she needs to marry each guy she dates for a year or two. It’s odd IMO. It’s not like the 50’s when you need to be married to have a relationship. #puzzled
I’m surprised no one is questioning Jose’s claims. Apparently he used to abuse Jessica, how could he then be close enough to her to know who’s contacting her? Also, all he says is A-Rod called her. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re having an affair again, maybe they stayed friends. It sounds more like Jose is trying to get some 15mins in the spotlight again and twisting/making up narratives about A-Rod that he knows will sell, and at the same time he gets to trash his ex publicly as well. Maybe he’s not over feeling disrespected by their affair.
I also see this a abuse of the Ex and take it with a huge amount of salt.
I mean, you neglected to mention that Jose is clearly batshit insane. Not that it’s impossible for A-Rod to have cheated but the rest of Jose’s tweets are about Bigfoot and aliens.
Don’t be silly…. j-lo knows. There was a girl who came out a year ago (or so) that said she’d been sleeping with him before and during j-lo’s relationship with him. She knows who she’s marrying, and it is to help her image also (not being 50 and alone but with a successful husband in his own right.) However she doesn’t love him….so she’ll get over this just fine. Bring on the wedding swans!
Yeah.
That story got brushed real quickly.
I’m sure this will be dismissed as well and the ‘love story’, will continue.😏😶🙈🙉😉
Since I’m not “invested” in JLo, all I can do is shake my head. IF Arod and JLo let Canseco slide and ignore his tweets, this should die down in a few days, BUT if not, this is going to get MESSY.
I’m here for all kinds of messiness too! Let the dirt slinging begin!
They should ignore his tweets. Someone posted a throwback interview from years ago where Jose is accusing his ex wife of having an affair with AROD. He’s nuts.
Other Jose tweets = him practically begging Tim Tebow to let him teach him how to hit a ball.
Half of this is further victimization of Jose’s ex-wife. Idk if she’s one of the ones he is known to have abused because I don’t know much about Canseco but I would imagine that if he’s known as an abuser, there’s a good chance he got somewhere on the cycle with everyone.
Him speaking out now when it would cause prime embarrassment to his exwife is little different that Johnny suing Amber Heard.
And I agree with the other posters. J.Lo has eyes and experience with wandering peen. Her level of delusion or acceptance is her business. I doubt ARod has learned much about discretion. Any evidence is probably easily found. Canseco’s interference is unnecessary
This is also my take on it. Abuse on the Jose side and knowing what is what on the JLo side.
I could believe JLo gave him an ultimatum but I really hope it’s not true. Desperation is not a good look on anyone.
Maybe that’s why she looked so glum at the Oscars? Canseco could have fired some warning shots across the bow before going public with his accusations. Either way you look at it both he and A-Rod are morally stunted people and Jennifer should drop him like a bad habit.
Perhaps this also ties in with the proposal. JLo found out, and this is ARod’s way of showing her how much he’s going to “change”. Who knows. It seems that JLo not only loves love and needs a man, but she also loves and needs the drama in her relationship too. Maybe she’s fine with his extracurricular activities if he’s discreet. It’s hard to explain why she’d put up with a man like ARod otherwise.
I don’t think it’s that she’d ever be okay with cheating, it’s that it takes a mountain of evidence to convince her she’s being cheated on.
If A-Rod looked her in the eyes and said “I’m not cheating on you, people are just jealous we’re so happy” she’d believe him and feel like it was them against the world. She has referred to him as her “twin soul” for God’s sake. She’s a teenager in a 50 year old woman’s body.
@Jennifer
“Maybe she’s fine with his extracurricular activities if he’s discreet.”
She probably is.
Affleck was going off with strippers on the eve of their wedding and JLo still didn’t drop him🙄🙄😶. He eventually pulled the plug on her!
And remember how much leeway she gave Casper Smart’s extra curricular activities.🙈🙉
Arod is gross. Would never do him. That is all.
He’s so bloated and unattractive. He isn’t even athletic body wise. And she looks so into the showmance in that photo. Kardashian level, these two.
He looks like Putin in that pic where he’s looking at his phone!
There’s no doubt in my mind that Alex cheats, but that’s JLo for you… she’s never had good taste in men.
I never watched anything Jennifer Lopez is in except In Living Color, I do watch World of Dance now and my vibe is that she is HIGH maintenance. Good for her, I guess but all of her “relationships” follow the same pattern. Jump in, head over heels gushing love, engagement (because she demands it) and marriage lasts a year, then on to the next. She’s an overlapper. Never alone for five minutes. Who cares if he cheats, we all knew he was a cheater. She needs to be alone for a bit and change her taste in men. I’d rather have a faithful partner than five million dollar rings.
Ugh. He took that straight out of the playbook of Samantha Markle. Lay low, wait until they are engaged and then unload a lot of BS. Oy vey!
We’ve been knew for YEARS J-Lo’s picker is broken.
Despite her public persona of being fierce & powerful, she has self-esteem issues & always picks the worst men who treat her horribly.
She is smart, beautiful & amazing in every other way, but she’s also a blind fool who loves the idea of being wooed, but always, always with men who had horrible dating/marriage histories.
I wish she’d get some therapy or something and be alone for a few years. She’s J-Lo FFS, she honestly doesn’t need a man, but I understand she like most other human beings want companionship & love. But she needs a HUGE break from d-bags like A-Rod & moochers like her dancer ex.
Pretty sure the only reason A-Rod caught her off-guard is because she knew about the side piece, which is why she seemed so over it at the Oscars. And him popping the question was some grand apology, which she will regret once the rose-tinted glasses fall off.
Run, J-Lo, RUN!
She is not smart. Have you tried reading or listening to her interviews? Please don’t tell me you can’t make it so big by being dumb. Stupidity manifests itself in many different ways and this woman is as vapid as you can get. Surrounding yourself with finance/numbers/suits doesn’t mean you have business smarts. Generating PR is not a talent but it’s her only one. Cannot act or sing.
If JLo’s smart she’ll drag this engagement out for the PR/coverage she so, so, so desperately wants and dump him about 2 years down the line, when they no longer can get any headline. These two are absolute clowns with this showmance. And who is really surprised by Canesco’s revelation? Interesting to have such an open and insistent one though.
If I was J-Lo I would break up with him now and keep the ring. 🙂
Somehow, I don’t think he paid for it.
I don’t believe him, even though I don’t think Alex is an angel.
