New York Yankees icon Alex Rodriguez has spent more than two decades of his life playing baseball. But while fulfilling one of his dreams, he never once sidetracked from his personal life. After breaking up with his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis in 2008, he has dated quite a few women. One of whom was with the megastar Jennifer Lopez. His relationship with the actress lasted for four years. 

Out of those four years, they spent two of them engaged. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and they broke up in April 2021. But it wasn’t JLo’s first broken engagement. 

After being engaged in 2002-04 to the actor Ben Affleck, the couple broke up as they were on different paths in their lives. Not long after breaking up with Affleck, she returned or at least had all the intentions of returning the $2.5 million worth of engagement ring she got proposed with.

Although the ex-celeb couple exchanged massive amounts of jewelry throughout their relationship, apparently, they did not decide who would be keeping the $1.8 million worth of rock that Rodriguez proposed to Lopez with. 

Also, it is still unclear whether, after almost two years of breaking up, Lopez has returned the ring or not. But multiple sources told TMZ that the actress had the ring, just not physically with her as she shot ‘Shotgun Wedding.’
