The world was captivated when Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, affectionately known as J-Rod, became a power couple. Their engagement, however, ended, and shortly after, Lopez rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck. Now, in June 2024, whispers of trouble in paradise for Lopez and Affleck have surfaced, leading fans to wonder: is JLo back with Alex Rodriguez?
Amidst swirling rumors of a Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce, both have been spotted sans wedding rings and taking solo trips. Reports are conflicting, with some suggesting Affleck has already moved out of their shared home. Adding fuel to the fire, there’s speculation that Lopez is considering a move back to New York City – a move that insiders suggest could pave the way for a reconnection with her former fiancé, Alex Rodriguez.
According to an insider source cited by InTouch Weekly, “Even before things went totally south with Ben she was pushing for a full-time move to New York, and now she’s decided to go ahead with that after the split.” This potential relocation to the Big Apple, where Rodriguez also resides, has sparked considerable speculation about a possible reunion.
Currently, Jennifer Lopez is presumed to be single, while Alex Rodriguez has been reportedly dating fitness instructor Jaclyn Cordeiro for almost two years.

Despite Rodriguez’s current relationship, insiders hint that Lopez might be open to revisiting her past with A-Rod. The insider stated, she’s “even starting to miss what she had with him. He’s got a girlfriend now, but J. Lo doesn’t intend to stay single long, and [she and A-Rod do have unfinished business].” This suggests unresolved feelings and the possibility of a rekindled flame.
The source further elaborated on their dynamic, “For all his faults they did have an intense connection, he was devastated when they split up,” highlighting the depth of their past relationship and Rodriguez’s emotional response to their separation. While Rodriguez reportedly claims to be happier now, those close to him are not entirely convinced. The insider concludes, “He insists he’s happier now without her but they have a lot of mutual friends that aren’t so convinced and he’s not married or engaged, so at this point it’s not beyond the realm that they could reconnect.”

Adding another layer to the unfolding drama, recent reports from InTouch Weekly suggest that Alex Rodriguez is allegedly finding some satisfaction in Lopez’s current marital difficulties. Insiders claim A-Rod is “loving” the marriage drama between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, seemingly pleased about the rumored impending split.
An insider revealed, “Alex fell apart when J .Lo ran off with Ben,” emphasizing the impact of their breakup on Rodriguez. “He felt like she tossed him out with the trash when she got a better offer from Ben and it did a huge number on him. He went from planning a wedding to watching her marry someone else in what felt like the blink of an eye. It was the worst year of his life, and to make things ten times worse, J. Lo didn’t have an ounce of empathy for him. She flaunted her romance with Ben every chance she got.” This paints a picture of a deeply hurt Rodriguez who may now feel vindicated by the current situation.

Furthermore, these sources suggest Rodriguez may believe he “dodged a bullet” by not marrying Lopez, implying a shift in perspective and potentially closing the door on reconciliation from his side, despite the rumors of Lopez’s potential interest.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s relationship spanned from 2017 to 2021. They became a couple in 2017 and got engaged in 2019 before ultimately calling off their engagement in 2021. Lopez then reunited with Ben Affleck, marrying him in 2022.
Conclusion:
The question of whether JLo is back with Alex Rodriguez in 2024 remains unanswered and firmly in the realm of speculation. While rumors and insider sources suggest Jennifer Lopez might be considering rekindling the romance, Alex Rodriguez’s current stance and relationship status add complexity to the situation. As Jennifer Lopez navigates her rumored separation from Ben Affleck and potentially moves back to New York, the possibility of a J-Rod reunion, however improbable, continues to intrigue fans and fuel the celebrity gossip mill. Only time will tell if these former flames will indeed reconnect.
