When Jennifer Lopez's pole dancing crash course left her looking battered: "Not a good reference when your fiancé's ex baseball player"

Mega Star Jennifer Lopez was once dating Alex Rodriguez, a very famous baseball shortstop and third baseman, businessman and philanthropist. After four years of dating, the Hollywood pair called it quits in 2021, and they have both since found new partners.

Lopez made her acting debut in Hustlers in 2019 as the stripper Ramona. She labored arduously to perfect her difficult pole dancing routine, which resulted in a toned booty.
