Alex Rodriguez is raising eyebrows with his latest social media post. Shortly after news broke that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were divorcing, the former baseball star shared a cryptic quote on his Instagram Story to his millions of followers. The message was all about making the difficult decision to go in a new “direction.” Due to the timing, some fans are wondering whether Rodriguez just hinted at his feelings toward Lopez and Affleck’s split.
Did Alex Rodriguez Just React to the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Divorce Drama?
Rodriguez shared a post from The Concept’s Instagram that featured a quote by the retired athlete. “You either go one way or the other, you might as well be the one deciding the direction,” the message read.
Rodriguez didn’t explain why he decided to repost the graphic. However, fans have a theory it has to do with the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck divorce drama. For months, there have been rumors the pair were considering going their separate ways. Besides the fact Lopez and Affleck were no longer living together, the stars were being spotted alone a lot more frequently. Following speculation they had hit a rough patch, Lopez refused to confirm or deny rumors regarding their relationship status.
Finally, on Tuesday, Aug. 20, TMZ reported Lopez had officially filed for divorce from the Justice League actor. She submitted the documents without an attorney. The choice to file them by herself was seen as a powerful move by fans. The date of her decision was also significant considering she submitted the paperwork on the second anniversary of her and Affleck’s Georgia wedding.
With all this in mind, could Rodriguez have shown his ex-girlfriend a sign of support with his latest Instagram post? Or was he throwing shade? We may never know.
