Alex Rodriguez cuts a casual figure as he watches his basketball team Minnesota Timberwolves lose to New Orleans Pelicans


Alex Rodriguez looked casual as he watched his basketball team Minnesota Timberwolves lose to New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. 

The former baseball player, 46, opted for a wool coat over the top of a brown jumper and black shirt which he paired with dark baggy jeans. 

Protecting himself from Covid-19, Alex – who owns the Minnesota side – wore a blue face mask while watching the action courtside.

Alex wore white and grey Nike trainers, and had a staff lanyard round his neck. The Timberwolves lost 107-98 at the match at Target Center in Minneapolis. 

The outing comes after the star broke things off with long term fiancée Jennifer Lopez back in April. 

While attending a telecast of Fox’s postgame coverage of the American League Championship Series, Alex was hit with verbal jabs while the crowd cheered ‘J-Lo’ and Ben Affleck’s name to throw him off. 

Fans were already a bit rowdy seeing the former New York Yankee on their turf as he sported a hat from his team.

Alex stayed calm and collected while sitting alongside former Boston slugger David ‘Big Papi’ Ortiz after the Red Sox defeated the Astros 12-3 in Game 3.

The rowdy crowd could be heard in the background egging Rodriguez on: ‘Ben Affleck’s got JLo!’ 

Alex has kept a somewhat low profile since ending his engagement to Lopez in the spring following a four-year relationship.

The couple had postponed their wedding multiple times due to the pandemic, only to indefinitely put things off and move on to greener pastures.

She moved on into the arms of an old flame, Ben Affleck, nearly two decades after first sparking a match on the set of their failed film, Gigli.  

The pair were first spotted together in April shortly after she ended her two-year engagement to Alex, and have since endured a bi-coastal relationship with dates in Miami and Los Angeles.

Jennifer and Ben are ‘serious’ about each other, a source told People though the insider insists they are not engaged or moving in together anytime soon.

Ben and Jen first started dating in 2002 after meeting on set of Gigli. They soon became engaged and were set to get married in September 2003, but postponed their wedding and eventually broke up in January 2004.

‘I’m very happy. It is a very happy time in my life. Life is good,’ Ben recently told Extra’s Jenn Lahmers.
