The outlet added their source heard earlier this week that they were ‘on the rocks and headed for Splitsville.’
Later, the site added that they ‘broke up’ over his friendship with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy. ‘The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they finally broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed by it.’
In February there seemed to be some issues with J-Rod when LeCroy claimed she spoke with Rodriguez over the phone.
Fans have been speculating over the identity of the married, ex-MLB player LeCroy had been accused of being in contact with, and suspicions arose the person could have been Rodriguez, despite him not being married and only engaged at the time to Jennifer.
However, in an interview with Page Six, LeCroy revealed she had been in communication with Rodriguez, but said their exchanges were ‘innocent.’
LeCroy told the website that she and Rodriguez ‘never met up’, but had ‘spoken on the phone.’
‘Never had any kind of anything’: Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy has now claimed she did indeed speak with Rodriguez over the phone, but has never met him in person
Clearing the air: LeCroy insisted Rodriguez had ‘never physically cheated’ on Lopez (pictured with her ex in 2018)
‘That’s the truth,’ she said, clarifying they had ‘never been physical… never had any kind of anything. Just an acquaintance.’
LeCroy insisted Rodriguez had ‘never physically cheated’ on Jennifer with her.
She described the phone calls as inconsistent, and said they had only spoken to each other ‘randomly.’
While she would not reveal what was discussed, she described it as ‘innocent.’
The allegations occurred during a recent Southern Charm reunion, and the name of the individual LeCroy was allegedly in contact with had been bleeped out.
LeCroy says the name concealed was Rodriguez’s, but she was the one who requested his name withheld.
‘I have tried to be as quiet as possible. I don’t want anything bad for his family, or for mine. We are definitely innocent in this,’ she said.
Allegations: LeCroy was accused of FaceTiming Rodriguez by a cast member
Accused: LeCroy was accused of flying to Miami and sleeping with an unidentified married, ex-MLB player during the reunion episode of Southern Charm, and though she denied ever seeing the man in person, she did admit to DM-ing him
She also would not reveal when the alleged phone calls occurred.
Rumors spread within her inner circle because she ‘told the wrong person’ about who she had been in contact with.
‘All this stuff was a year ago [but] it’s being aired now,’ she said.
A source with knowledge of the situation previously told DailyMail.com: ‘Alex has never met or spoken to Madison or anyone from the show.’
The explosive allegations all came to light on a recent Southern Charm episode, where LeCroy was accused of sleeping with an unidentified, married ex-MLB player. LeCroy denied ever seeing the man in person, though did admit to DM-ing him.
LeCroy was accused of getting intimate with a married former athlete. However, Rodriguez is not married, and has been engaged since 2019.
The identity of the individual was concealed, but Southern Charm star Danni Baird subsequently alleged on the Reality Life with Kate Casey that the person was Rodriguez.
Hmm: However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed Rodriguez had allegedly ‘liked’ several of LeCroy’s photos – only to unlike them
Ringing in 2021: One of the photos was a snap taken of LeCroy at the beach in July, and another was of her with her friends on New Year’s Eve
DailyMail.com has contacted respective representatives for both Rodriguez and LeCroy, who did not respond to comment.
‘She had even told me that they were FaceTiming or something,’ Baird said on the show.
Meanwhile, a source for the New York Post also insisted Rodriguez did not know or hook up with LeCroy.
‘He doesn’t know this woman,’ the insider said. ‘Look, does this mean he didn’t DM her and liked a photo or two? I guess not, but he doesn’t know her — and he definitely didn’t hook up with her.’
He said he missed her last month: Jennifer and Alex – who called each other Macha and Macho, respectively – had delayed their wedding twice citing it was due to lockdown from COVID-19
Jennifer and Alex – who called each other Macha and Macho, respectively – had delayed their wedding twice citing it was due to lockdown from COVID-19.
She said last year: ‘We had to cancel the wedding… because of COVID, because of the quarantine. And we actually did it twice, which people don’t know.’
The Maid In Manhattan star told Allure magazine: ‘It was a big deal. We had been planning for months and months and months, and it was overseas. Maybe it wasn’t the right time.’
And the Hustlers actress said that she worried she and Alex won’t be able to ‘re-create’ their dream wedding after they were forced to put their plans on hold due to the pandemic.
The kids: The two have been living together for the past four years as they co-parent her twins Max and Emme and his daughters Natasha and Ella from a previous relationship; here they are seen with her kids Max and Emme in 2020
She said: ‘We postponed the wedding twice. We had planned what we really, really wanted to do, [but] I don’t know if we’ll be able to re-create that. We cancelled it, and since then we haven’t really talked about it. There’s no rush.
‘We want to do it right when we can do it. We just have to wait to see where the world lands … Oh yeah, we’ve talked about [not getting married] for sure. I mean at our age, we’ve both been married before, it’s like, do we get married? Do we not? What does it mean for us? And it’s just, it comes down to like personal, like, what do you want to do?’
The two have been living together for the past four years as they co-parent her twins and his daughters from a previous relationship.
Jennifer was wed to Ojani Noa from 1997 until 1998. She was then married to dancer Cris Judd from 2001 until 2003. And her marriage to singer Marc Anthiny lasted for 10 years, from 2004 until 2014. She dated Diddy and was engaged to Ben Affleck.
