KEY POINTS

  • Alex Rodriguez was spotted making his way to a Miami restaurant Tuesday
  • He met up with ex Jennifer Lopez’s longtime vocal coach Steve Mackey that day
  • Rodriguez refused to comment when asked about Lopez’s Montana trip with Ben Affleck

Alex Rodriguez has been spotted for the first time since his ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez made the headlines for going on a trip to Montana with Ben Affleck.

The 45-year-old former MLB star was photographed by the paparazzi as he was making his way to a Miami restaurant Tuesday.

In the photos obtained by Page Six, Rodriguez looked dapper in a gray suit. He could also be seen wearing a pair of sunglasses during the outing.

The former Yankees slugger met up with Lopez’s longtime friend and vocal coach Stevie Mackey at the restaurant, according to eyewitnesses.

At one point, Rodriguez was approached by the paparazzi and asked to comment on his 51-year-old ex’s getaway with the “Batman v Superman” actor, 48. The retired athlete dodged the inquiry by responding, “Go Yankees.”

Prior to the sighting, an unnamed source told E! News that Rodriguez was actually shocked after learning about the “On the Floor” songstress’ reunion with Affleck as he still believed that he and Lopez could reconcile in the near future.

“A-Rod is shocked that J.Lo has moved on. He truly thought they would be able to make it work and reconnect. He has been reaching out to J.Lo trying to meet with her and she has been very short with him,” the source was quoted as saying by the outlet.

The source also claimed that Rodriguez quickly reached out to Lopez after the news about Bennifer’s reunion broke to let the latter know that “he’s upset” considering that they just officially broke up and called off their engagement a month ago.

Rodriguez and Lopez announced their split on April 15. Two weeks later, the singer-actress caught the attention of several news outlets after she was seen bonding with Affleck in Los Angeles on multiple occasions.

Lopez and Affleck, who were engaged between 2002 and 2004, all the more raised eyebrows when they spent Mother’s Day weekend together in Big Sky, Montana. An unnamed insider told Us Weekly that it was just “the two of them on vacation together” and that they looked “very happy” throughout their stay there.

While some sources insisted that the two are just friends, others are claiming that Lopez and Affleck could rekindle their romance this time around after being friends for many years following their split. Both have yet to personally address the reports.
