MLB icon Alex Rodriguez and his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez, at one point, were one of the best couples in the entertainment world. Throughout their relationship, Alex was always all praises for Lopez. Together, they were on their way to becoming a billionaire power couple. But all of it changed with their infamous breakup back in April 2021. Shortly after their breaking up, Lopez reconnected with her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck. As she reconnected, Bennifer once again became one of the most popular couples in Hollywood.

During JLo’s relationship with Affleck in the early 2000s, she wrote a couple of songs about him. She had done so as a token of showing her love for him. Their relationship might be over, but the songs remained. And now, almost two years of being together, Affleck, in a recent podcast, lauded JLo’s tribute to him.
