Alex Rodriguez is seemingly still coming to terms with Jennifer Lopezโ€˜s recent reunion with her former flame, Ben Affleck.

It is being widely reported that JLo and Ben enjoyed a week-long break in Montana after attending the VAX LIVE concert together in LA. And her ex is said to be โ€œshockedโ€ by the news.

A source told E! News that the former baseball star thought the pair would โ€œbe able to make it work and reconnectโ€, adding that Alex is โ€œsaddenedโ€ by the reunion and has reached out to let Jennifer know he is upset.

The pair, who were engaged to be married in 2003 before calling off the wedding, spent a few days alone together in Montana, as exes do, and the internet was ablaze with speculation that Bennifer is back.

Rodriguez, 45, was out and about in Miami when a Page Six reporter asked him: โ€˜What do you think about the news about Jennifer and Ben? Are you doing ok? Did you know they were in Montana together?โ€™

The former slugger replied: โ€œGo Yankeesโ€ before getting in his car.

Alex famously played for the New York Yankees โ€“ a major rival to Benโ€™s beloved baseball team, the Boston Red Sox. Affleck is so devoted to the Red Sox that he once refused to wear a Yankees hat in a scene for Gone Girl, he later confirmed to the New York Times.
