ARod makes dig at ex JLo’s on-again man Ben Affleck as he breaks silence after Bennifer’s shocking Montana getaway
ALEX Rodriguez was spotted out and about for the first time since his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez returned from her Montana trip with Ben Affleck.
The 45-year-old former baseball player shaded the duo’s romantic getaway after leaving a lunch in Miami with a friend.
ARod was captured on video leaving a restaurant with his assistant after grabbing a bite to eat with his friend and JLo’s voice coach, Stevie Mackey, when he was asked about his ex, according to New York Post.
After being questioned about Jennifer hanging out with Ben again and going away to Montana together, the suit-clad athlete tried to keep his cool.
Eventually, he offered up a little dig at the Red Sox-loving Ben, saying “Go Yankees!” as he got into his white Mercedes.
Prior to the questions about JLo, Alex enjoyed lunch with her longtime vocal coach and was spotted giving Steve, who has become one of his close friends, a big hug outside of the restaurant.
As he continued his way in the parking lot toward his car, he largely ignored the talk about JLo’s reconciliation with her other former fiance, Ben, except when he kindly told a reporter to watch his step so he didn’t trip.
Eventually, the shades-wearing 45-year-old gave in and gave a little shade of his own in the form of the anti-Red Sox, pro-Yankees comment.
JLo, 51, enjoyed a week-long getaway to Montana with the Ben, 48, less than a month after announcing the end of her two-year engagement to Alex.
In new photos, the pair could be seen together in a car near a resort in Big Sky last week, where Ben has a home, and were then seen arriving back in Los Angeles on a private jet over the weekend.
A source close to Alex told E! News that he’s “shocked that JLo has moved on” so quickly.
The insider added: “He truly thought they would be able to make it work and reconnect. He has been reaching out to JLo trying to meet with her and she has been very short with him.”
They added that the sports star is “saddened” about his ex’s reunion with Ben and even reached out to let her know that he’s “upset.”
Last month, the movie star and the baseball player decided to call off their engagement after four years together.
JLo has been spending time with her former partner – who she met on the set of Gigli – since breaking up with ARod after rumors she couldn’t trust him.
