Ben Affleck is allegedly furious with Alex Rodriguez because the latter seems to be stalking Jennifer Lopez.
In its August 24 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Rodriguez has been turning up at the same places that Lopez and Affleck have been visiting. And it seems it’s not a coincidence.
“Can you imagine seeing your girlfriend’s ex in the most intimate places and biting your tongue about it – again and again? That’s exactly what Ben’s been doing, but he won’t be able to keep his lips zipped for much longer,” the source said.
The annoying coincidences reportedly started in June when Lopez and Affleck went to the Hamptons. Days later, reports revealed that Rodriguez was also there and that he was staying just five minutes away from the couple.
“The East End of Long Island is a big place with plenty of summer rentals available to people with money. But this was way too close for comfort. And there’s no way Alex can plead it was a coincidence. He literally spent the entire summer at Jen’s Watermill place with their kids last year so he knew exactly where she lives,” the source said.
In July, Lopez and Affleck went to the French Riviera to celebrate the former’s 52nd birthday. The couple was photographed canoodling on a yacht.
And then reports revealed that Rodriguez celebrated his 46th birthday on a yacht in the French Riviera as well.
The source also revealed that when Lopez’s assistant checked out the restaurant that she and Affleck wanted to dine in, she saw Rodriguez there with ESPN reporter Melanie Collins.
So, Lopez and Affleck decided to eat elsewhere to avoid Rodriguez. And they’re allegedly not thrilled of always knowing that they could bump on him everywhere they go.
The insider claimed that Affleck has been going all-out to spoil Lopez because he wants to help her forget Rodriguez. But it seems impossible because the baseball star is everywhere.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. There is no indication that Rodriguez is trying to stalk his ex.
And it’s also not true that Lopez still needs help in order to forget Rodriguez.
Lopez and Affleck seem happy and secure in their relationship. So, it’s unlikely for them to be troubled by Rodriguez.
Also, it could just really be a coincidence because the vacation spots that Lopez and Affleck have been going to are famous among celebrities and A-listers.
