This is what it looks like Alex RodriguezWas just hit with a curveball. 

While covering the April 10 Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game for ESPN’s KayRod Cast, his co-host Michael KaySubtly brought up Ben Affleck‘s engagement to A-Rod’s former fiancée Jennifer Lopez—hours after the relationship news broke.

It’s an exciting time in sport,” he said. He continued, “You now have a Masters champion, the NBA playoffs start and baseball’s full swing. It is a great time for people to get involved.” It’s an exciting time. 

Kay was amused by Rodriguez’s comments and replied, “Happiness is what we want.” Kay laughed at Kay’s reply and said, “Happiness and world peace is what we want.” You and Gandhi are what I am thinking of.” Rodriguez was ready to bring up the pitch at 2-1 to get the focus back on the game.

Rodriguez and Lopez became engaged on March 19, 2019, nearly two years after their first red carpet appearance as a couple. Reports surfaced that Rodriguez and Lopez had parted ways in March 2021. They announced their split the next month, despite the fact that both the ex-player for the Yankees and the singer insist that all reports are incorrect and that they were working through “some things”.
