Jennifer Lopez’s ex Alex Rodriguez rents a $5M mansion ONE MILE from her $10M home in Hamptons

Alex Rodriguez seems to want to stay near his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez this summer.

The former baseball great has rented a $5M mansion in Bridgehampton on New York’s Long Island which is only a three minute drive from the Dance Again singer’s $10M home in Water Mill, according to PageSix.

This comes as the Dinero singer, 51, has been seen kissing her other ex fiance Ben Affleck, 48, in Malibu whom she reunited with in April just after splitting from A-Rod.

The outlet claimed that Alex, 45, has already settled into his home as he shared a video from outside the place this weekend when he was shooting hoops. 

His new pad is gray shingled with a total of 9,200-square-feet; there are seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. 

The Hamptons is one of the places Jennifer and Alex use to visit as they enjoyed their three year romance before calling it quits earlier this year.

They often shared images from Jen’s sprawling Water Mill home that is over 8,500 square feet as their kids – she has Max and Emme with ex Marc Anthony and he has Ella and Natasha with ex Cynthia Scurtis.

According to People, the Hustlers actress plans on staying at her Hamptons residence this summer with her kids and perhaps on-again Affleck.

That means Lopez is likely to run into Rodriguez who is only one mile away in Bridgehampton. 

Though Jennifer is not in the Hamptons yet – she was seen shopping in Beverly Hills over the weekend – she should be there soon.

Alex is firmly in the Hamptons these days as on Friday he held a meeting with his A-Rod Corp staffers at the Sag Harbor restaurant Le Bilboquet, PageSix also reported.

He was with his nephew Nick Silva as well as Liz Cohen, a business development manager at A-Rod Corp. 

Jennifer her been in Los Angeles to be near Ben, who co-parents three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Earlier this week, the Argo star and director was spotted having a steamy makeout session with J.Lo at the swanky Japanese restaurant Nobu Malibu during a dinner in honor of her younger sister Lynda Lopez’s 50th birthday.

The twins were both in close proximity and Max was even seen approaching the lovebirds just after they locked lips.

Despite the potentially awkward interaction, Ben seems to have already made a positive impression with the kids. 

‘Her kids really like Ben and think he’s funny and fun to be around,’ a source close to the Jenny From The Block singer told E! News earlier this week. ‘He’s totally won the family over with his charm.’

Another person at the party for Jennifer’s sister noted how easily the Oscar winner socialized with his on-again partner’s twins.

‘Ben was very good with them. He was asking them questions and smiling,’ an eyewitness shared. ‘He was very engaged and seemed to like hanging out with them. They all left together and Ben opened the car door for the kids and made sure they got inside. He was smiling the whole night and seemed very happy with the family.’

His charm assault also extends to the Out Of Sight star’s mother Guadalupe, who was seen spending some time in a Las Vegas casino earlier this month as he directed a film project. 

‘Guadalupe loves Ben and is happy that he is back in Jennifer’s life,’ a source told E! News.

‘They enjoy gambling together and have done it in the past,’ they added. ‘Ben had the opportunity to work in Vegas this week and she came out.’

Jennifer was seen a week ago being driven away from Ben’s home in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades neighborhood after spending some time together.

Their renewed relationship seems to be a kind of wish fulfillment for the actress, who sees Ben as ‘the one that got away,’ a source told Page Six earlier this week.

‘Jennifer always saw Ben as the one that got away. She was crushed after they broke up, though she felt at the time that she had no other choice but to call off their engagement,’ the insider said.
