Alex Rodriguez still has love for Jennifer Lopez.
The retired athlete shared his support for the singer – and his ex-fiancé – after her marriage to Ben Affleck.
“With Jennifer, look, it was a good experience,” the former MLB player said on Friday’s episode of “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” when asked if she married the actor after their 2021 split.
“I wish her and the kids, who are smart and beautiful and wonderful – I wish them all the best,” continues Rodriguez, father of daughters Natasha (17) and Ella (14), of Lopez’s 14-year-old twins, Emme. and Maximilian.
“I’d say I’m glad I’ll never be a presidential candidate because you would hammer me,” he concluded, jokingly.
Rodriguez began dating the “Let’s Get Loud” singer in 2017, and got down on one knee two years later.
As the couple planned their wedding and mixed their families, they finally called it quits in March 2021.
Lopez then moved on to Affleck, to whom she was previously engaged in 2002.
The Oscar winner made another marriage proposal in April, and Lopez gushed about the milestone moment in her newsletter at the time.
“Saturday night, while I was in my favorite place on earth (in the hot tub), my beautiful love got down on one knee and proposed to her,” the songwriter wrote. “I was literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said ‘YES of course, that’s a YES.’”
In July, she and her “Gigli” colleague tied the knot in Las Vegas. Their second wedding the following month took place in Georgia and was attended by relatives and friends.
Notably, Casey Affleck was not present at his brother’s wedding and was instead seen taking his son to football and getting ice cream.
However, the ‘Manchester By the Sea’ star wrote a sweet Instagram tribute to Lopez during his absence.
“Here are twists and turns, new beginnings, and finding new reservoirs of old love,” Casey wrote. “Welcome to the family. Get ready for some real dysfunction! Just kidding. I’m kidding.”
As for Rodriguez, he is currently single after splitting from model Kathryne Padgett in September.
The ex-New York Yankees player has spoken candidly about his past with Lopez, saying on “The Martha Stewart Show” in July that he has “no regrets” about their romance.
Rodriguez explained, “She’s the most talented human being I’ve ever had. Hardest worker. And I think she’s the greatest…live artist in the world alive.”
