Alex Rodriguez Awkwardly Joked About Why He’s Single Following Jennifer Lopez Split

Alex Rodriguez has had an eventful year.

Mainly, his longtime relationship with Jennifer Lopez ended with her getting back together with Ben Affleck. And as A-Rod tries to recover, he clearly has had some trouble.

But now it MLB Playoffs time. Which means Rodriguez will be assigned to work with Fox throughout the postseason.

When Alex Rodriguez and his crew were joking about an old video of him eating popcorn out of his girlfriend’s hand, he jumped him to say, “maybe that’s why I’m single”.

Alex Rodriguez isn’t the most popular broadcaster (or guy for that matter). But he finds way to keep himself relevant and dominating tabloids.

He’s been single for the most part since his split with J-Lo earlier in the year, and seemingly happy with some time out of the game.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing about Alex Rodriguez’s next fling in no time, though.
