ALEX Rodriguez is said to be 'shocked' by Jennifer Lopez's reunion with her former fiancé Ben Affleck – a month after they called off their engagement.
The former MLB star, 45, reportedly believed that he and the 51-year-old singer would "reconnect" despite calling time on their relationship after four years together in April.
A source close to Rodriguez told E! News: "A-Rod is shocked that JLo has moved on.
"He truly thought they would be able to make it work and reconnect. He has been reaching out to JLo trying to meet with her and she has been very short with him."
The source added that the sports star is "saddened" about his ex's reunion with Ben and even reached out to let her know that he's "upset."
However, the insider added: "She's not interested in rekindling anything with A-Rod and is done."
Since their split, Jennifer has been linked with her former flame Ben, 48, and the pair were even spotted on a romantic getaway to Montana.
The exes – who were engaged in 2004 – were seen together for the first time in years over Mother's Day weekend.
The pair turned a corner in their friendship and conversation "led to something more".
A source added to US Weekly: "Ben and Jennifer had a heart-to-heart and it reignited the spark between them."
According to reports, the stars looked cozy as they drove to an airport together.
The newly-single JLo reportedly smiled and chatted away as she sat next to Ben, who was driving the car.
The pair – who were nicknamed "Bennifer" at the height of their Hollywood romance – allegedly boarded a private jet back to Los Angeles together.
They were seen arriving with plenty of luggage, with Jennifer wearing a white knit sweater and skirt and black boots.
Ben has a house in the state, though TMZ reported Jen and Ben were spotted at Big Sky Resort, close to Yellowstone National Park.
The superstar only returned to LA last month after filming her new movie, Shotgun Wedding, in the Dominican Republic.
Ben – who split from Ana de Armas earlier this year – first set tongues-wagging over their potential reunion when he was spotted visiting the star after she travelled back to the States.
A close pal claimed at the time that JLo has "always been friends" with ex Ben, confirming the pair have hung out together following her split with ARod.
The I'm Real singer has been spending time with her former partner – who she met on the set of Gigli – since breaking up with ARod after rumors she couldn't trust him.
Last month, the movie star and the baseball player decided to call their engagement after four years together.
In a joint statement, the former couple wrote: "We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so.
"We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children.
"Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support."
