Alex Rodriguez ‘parties with Ben Affleck’s former flame Lindsay Shookus’ at her birthday party … as things continue to heat up between the Batman star and JLo
Ex factor.
Alex Rodriguez reportedly celebrated the birthday of Ben Affleck’s ex girlfriend, SNL producer Lindsay Shookus, in The Hamptons on Saturday night, according to Page Six.
The outing comes as the romance between Ben and Jennifer Lopez – who until recently was engaged to A-Rod – continues to heat up.
Exes: Alex Rodriguez reportedly celebrated the birthday of Ben Affleck’s ex girlfriend, SNL producer Lindsay Shookus, in The Hamptons on Saturday night, according to Page Six
The 45-year-old former baseball star was spotted sitting alongside Shookus at an ‘intimate backyard gathering’ to celebrate the producer’s birthday.
A small group of friends gathered to watch a magic show put on by Foodie Magician Josh Beckerman.
While their exes – Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez – are surely in the throes of a hot and heavy romance, A-rod’s rep told Page Six that things between Rodriguez and Shookus are merely platonic.
‘There is absolutely zero there,’ the PR rep said. Adding: ‘They’ve been friends for 15 years.’

Affleck and Shookus first started dating in mid-2017, just months after he jointly filed from divorce from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, which was finalized in October 2018.
After they broke up in August 2018, Affleck started seeing Playboy playmate Shauna Sexton, but Affleck and Shookus got back together briefly in 2019 following his stint in rehab.
He famously dated and was engaged to Jennifer Lopez from 2002-2004 after meeting on the set of Gigli. The pair recently rekindled their romance.
The reunited lovebirds have been seen shuttling back-and-forth from their West Coast homes since they began dating in April, shortly after Jennifer ended her engagement to her fiancé Alex Rodriguez.

Lopez and A-Rod were the celebrity ‘it couple’ from 2017 to 2021 when they abruptly called off their two-year engagement amid rumors of infidelity.
Bennifer’s renewed relationship seems to be a kind of wish fulfillment for the Out Of Sight 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.
After their tentative meetups in Los Angeles, the couple enjoyed longer vacations in Montana and Miami, where she lives with her 13-year-old twins Emme and Max.

The Jenny From The Block singer may even be plotting a move back to tinseltown after she was seen checking out upscale schools in the area.
She and her children may be more flexible, as Ben is determined to stay in Los Angeles long-term to be near his three children, whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 49.
The actors have gotten bolder with their romantic displays, as they were spotted making out during a dinner earlier this week at Nobu Malibu, which was ostensibly to celebrate her sister Lynda Lopez’s 50th birthday.
