Alex Rodriguez has dated a number of women over the years. And a lot of those relationships were with high-profile women, which ended up making headlines. However, his relationship with Jennifer Lopez has probably been the most publicized. A-Rod and JLo were a power couple during their 4-year relationship.

JLo was very competitive, but Alex Rodriguez didn’t take her seriously:
Back in 2018, when Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez were lovebirds, JLo said she was very competitive with her then-fiancé. She admitted it during her appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show. And further explained that her boyfriend does not take her challenges seriously. During training, she would challenge A-Rod, but he would not react to the challenges.
Lopez said “We never challenge each other side by side. For example, if we like UCLA, we’ll do the stairs or something. You know, in my mind, I’m like killing him. But here’s the problem, it doesn’t even keep my delusions going. Like I’m gonna say, baby, I feel like I can beat you, and he’s like nothing, no reaction.
But it seems A-Rod rejected JLo’s challenges for a reason. During the chat, Kimmel said that if A-Rod won, he would have problems with JLo, but if he lost, JLo would tell everyone that she beat him.

So there was really no way for him to win in either situation. And his stoic reactions to JLo’s challenge may have been just a way out of the situation.
Where are A-Rod and JLo now?
A-Rod and JLo broke up in April 2021 and decided they were better off as friends. The two have both moved on and are currently in other relationships. JLo is married to Ben Affleck and Rodriguez is currently dating fitness instructor Jaclyn Cordeiro.
