“There is absolutely zero there” - New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez once shut down rumors of dating Ben Affleck's ex to exact revenge

In case you missed it, former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was once spotted partying with Emmy Award-winning television producer Lindsay Shookus in June 2021. Back then, Alex was still healing from his separation from "On The Floor" singer Jennifer Lopez. The couple broke up on April 15, 2021.

Lindsay also happens to be the ex of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez's current husband. Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus called it quit in August 2018.

In a curious turn of events, Rodriguez was spotted hanging out with Lindsay Shookus right after Jennifer and Ben renewed their romance following Lopez's breakup with Alex.
