Alex Rodriguez Reportedly Is Dating Katie Holmes Amid Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Dating Rumors
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez ended their engagement a few months ago. Shortly after that, reports surfaced that the latter was dating her ex-beau, Ben Affleck. The former baseball star, on the other hand, hasn’t really talked about his new romance. But now, a source close to him gives an update on what’s happening to his love life.
Rumors have previously emerged that Rodriguez might be dating Katie Holmes. This speculation started when the retired baseball shortstop was spotted leaving the actress’ apartment building in New York. Many suspected that the two were dating. However, separate sources close to them confirmed that there is no ongoing romance between them.
Holmes’ rep explained that the actress hasn’t even met him, so it is unlikely for them to start dating. As for why Rodriguez was seen in New York, the source made it clear that he was looking for real estate properties and he didn’t realize that one of them was the actress’ building.
While this claim has been shut down, Rodriguez is also being romantically linked to Affleck’s ex-girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus. Reportedly, he was seen partying with the Sunday Night Live producer, sparking dating rumors.
A video shared on Instagram Stories showed Rodriguez and Shookus were hanging out together. That particular occasion was actually the SNL producer’s birthday celebration. Some believe that the former baseball star is trying to get back at Lopez and Affleck.
Rodriguez’s rep denied these claims and clarified that he is not dating Affleck’s ex-flame. The source told Page Six that nothing is going on between them and they’ve been friends for 15 years. It appears as though the former MLB star has no plans for his love life as of yet.
Speaking to HollywoodLife, an insider said that Rodriguez is “not interested in dating anybody seriously right now or getting into a committed relationship.” He is still adjusting to his single life following his split with Lopez. It is believed that he hasn’t gotten over his ex-fiance at the moment.
The source said that Rodriguez already planned to spend the rest of his life with Lopez, and vowed to focus on their family after getting married. Now that they broke up, the insider commented that he has to deal with the changes in his life.
Despite the rumors about his love life, it’s clear that Rodriguez wants to focus on himself, business, and two kids. Entering a new relationship is something that’s not on his mind at the moment.
