No matter how you slice it, Ben Affleck is a rebound for Jennifer Lopez. Lopez had been dating former New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriquez, whom she first linked up with in 2017. The two got engaged in 2019 and seemed stronger than ever. However, in March 2021, just a month before J.Lo was seen with Affleck, rumors surfaced that Lopez and A-Rod were over. In a statement issued to People magazine, the then-couple said, “We are working through some things.” Less than one month later, however, they officially called off their engagement. “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children,” they said in a joint statement given to People.
One might say that the ink on the paper wasn’t even dry before the paparazzi caught Lopez and Affleck together. Though they tried to be secretive at first, sources were on the lookout, and their cover was blown. “Security picks [Affleck] up at a nearby location and drops him off after spending a few hours at her house,” a source told Page Six in late April 2021 — about a week after she and A-Rod confirmed their split. Perhaps Lopez found comfort in the arms of an old flame, but being the back-up plan (also the name of a film starring J.Lo, we might add) usually doesn’t pan out.
