Jennifer Lopez made a notable appearance on the October 15 episode of Watch What Happens Live, discussing her upcoming film, Kiss of the Spider Woman. During the episode, host Andy Cohen put her on the spot in the popular “Plead the Fifth” segment, where he broached a sensitive topic concerning her ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez.
Cohen questioned Lopez about the alleged direct messages exchanged between Rodriguez and Madison LeCroy from Southern Charm during their engagement in 2021. Her response displayed a mix of determination and finality as she stated, “I really have nothing to say about my personal life anymore,” affirming that she feels she’s moved on from that chapter of her life.
The audience responded with applause, prompting Lopez to express her gratitude for their support. In 2021, while still engaged to Lopez, Rodriguez had been rumored to be DMing LeCroy, who had mentioned her interactions with an “ex-MLB player” during a Southern Charm reunion. The couple’s split came shortly afterward, with Lopez eventually rekindling her romance with Ben Affleck, whom she married a year later.
LeCroy later shared her experience on the “Pillows and Beer” podcast, claiming that Rodriguez had attempted to connect with her multiple times, even suggesting flights to Miami. She added, “If you’re looking for a side chick, which clearly he was, it wasn’t gonna be me.” Rodriguez’s representative previously dismissed LeCroy’s claims as attempts for publicity, insisting that they were false then and remain so.
Cohen justified his question, acknowledging the dialogue surrounding Bravo shows and how followers of the network would have expected him to bring it up. Since her engagement to Rodriguez ended, Lopez has expressed a desire to keep her personal life private, a sentiment underscored during this recent interview.
As Lopez continues to focus on her acting career and personal growth, fans are left to respect her decision to maintain a boundary around her past relationships.
