Jennifer Lopez and ex Alex Rodriguez say they’re still friends.
But that didn’t stop the triple threat, 52, from outshining her former fiancé during her recent vacation on the seas near the South-of-France with on-again boyfriend Ben Affleck.
The massive $130million super-yacht Bennifer chartered was seen overshadowing MLB alum Rodriguez’s much smaller $32million boat The Ocean Paradise as they happened to sail besides each other near a Monaco port.
Lopez’s 85-meter-long vessel, The Valerie, loomed over her former flames’ boat, which clocks in at a mere 55 meters long.

Jennifer Lopez’s assistant ‘quickly CANCELED dinner reservation’ after A-Rod was seen at lunch there
Exes Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez almost crossed paths with one another during their recent trips to Saint-Tropez.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed how Jen, 52, narrowly avoided bumping into her ex-fiancé Alex, 45, after they made separate reservations at the same restaurant – the fancy Bagatelle St. Tropez – on the French Riviera.
‘JLo had made a reservation at the same restaurant, the same day,’ a St. Tropez insider reveals.

‘Her assistant turned up to check everything was OK, and there was A-Rod having lunch. She alerted JLo and the reservation was quickly cancelled.’
Luckily, Jen avoided seeing her ex Alex dine out with blonde sports presenter Melanie Collins, who was dressed in a very revealing black ensemble.
Jen and on-again boyfriend Ben Affleck were pictured together enjoying a raucous meal at a restaurant to celebrate her birthday.
Instead of Bagatelle St. Tropez – that serves French Mediterranean cuisine – Ben and Jen were pictured enjoying a few drinks at the equally sophisticated L’Opéra Saint-Tropez.
The boat he chartered, The Ocean Paradise, costs a mere $312,000 per week.
It sleeps 12 guests in six rooms, including one master suite with a balcony, and boasts an interior created by designer Mauro Izzo inspired by Zen gardens.
Glass walls form the layout of the interior, and floor-to-ceiling windows provide clear views of the ocean.
The sun-deck features a jacuzzi, a large covered dining area, an indoor/outdoor gym and a dance floor.
According to a description online, the vessel contains ‘timeless styling, beautiful furnishings and sumptuous seating feature throughout to create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.’
To charter the Ocean Paradise costs $312,000 per week, and with a cruising speed of 15.5 knots, Rodriguez would be able to out-pace his ex’s yacht over long-distances.
Although he is expected to have around 50 guests for his birthday celebrations, only a lucky few will be staying the night on his Ocean Paradise yacht.
Lopez and Rodriguez ended their engagement in April this year, explaining they were ‘better as friends’ and looked ‘forward to remaining so,’ in a joint statement.
And it looked like he was finally moving on from the relationship as well.
Alex, 45, was also seen cavorting with blonde NFL broadcaster Melanie Collins, 35, on his impressive vessel.
A-Rod was also pictured with NFL star Eric Decker, 34, and his wife, singer Jessie James Decker, 33, as they enjoyed a hot tub onboard.
Still, Alex appeared to be more than happy with his fancy cruiser, as he was accompanied by his NFL reporter blonde, who is apparently ‘just friends’ with.
According to PageSix, Alex ‘has been hanging with friends and family on the trip, including Eric and Jessie James Decker. Melanie is good friends with them. They’re all friends and she’ll be at his party,’ a source said.
The source added that Melanie and the Deckers, as well as 50 other guests, are expecting to be partying for A-Rod’s birthday tomorrow.
