Former MLB star Alex Rodriguez is no longer mourning his breakup with American pop star Jennifer Lopez, who recently married actor Ben Affleck.
A-Rod appeared on an edition of "The Martha Stewart Podcast" that aired just days before J.Lo wed Ben Affleck. Rodriguez was questioned about his previous relationship with Lopez, with whom he had been engaged for two years.
“You know, Martha, thank goodness, no regrets,” Rodriguez replied.

Rodriguez said that J.Lo is the “most talented human being” and the “greatest performer.”
“Look, we had a great time...Here's what I will tell you about Jennifer and I was telling some of my colleagues here the other day: She's the most talented human being I've ever been around, [the] hardest worker. I think she's the greatest performer, live performer, in the world today that's alive."
This is the first time Alex Rodriguez has spoken about Jennifer Lopez since their 2021 breakup.
Lopez and Rodriguez first met at a Yankees game in 2005, though they were married to others at the time. They rekindled their friendship in 2017 and began dating shortly after.

The couple were often seen together. A-Rod shared a birthday post on his Instagram for J.Lo in 2018.
"When we were kids, birthdays were exciting because it was all about the gifts we would be getting. A new bat, dance shoes, maybe a new CD (yes I’m old!). I see firsthand how that’s changed for Jennifer, and how she’s found joy in sharing with others," Alex Rodriguez captioned the post.
Rodriguez proposed to Lopez with a huge diamond ring, but they postponed their 2020 wedding due to COVID-19 and eventually split in 2021.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 16. Lopez later confirmed the reports of their secret wedding in her newsletter, "On The JLo."
