After Ben Affleck reunited with Jennifer Lopez in Montana earlier in May, the Batman star’s favorite baseball team also wants a reunion with J.Lo. The Boston Red Sox team asked Ben’s ex-fiancée to “come back” to their baseball stadium during a TikTok tribute on May 19, which fans thought was a diss at J.Lo’s other ex-fiancée Alex Rodriguez, whom she split from in April. For context, A-Rod used to play for the New York Yankees, which is the Red Sox’s rival team (it’s also based in the Bronx, where J.Lo grew up).
@redsox Miss you, J-Lo ❤️ #redsox #neverforgetyou #jlo #fenway
The TikTok in question showed a throwback clip of J.Lo hanging out with the Red Sox’s mascot, Wally the Green Monster, during a baseball game at Fenway Park in July of 2019. Making this awkward is the fact that A-Rod — whom J.Lo was happily engaged to at the time — was broadcasting at that game!
“To the girl on the Monster for Sunday Night Baseball in 2019. Come back soon. We miss you,” the Red Sox wrote over the TikTok video, which was set to the tune of a piano cover of Zara Larsson and MNEK‘s song “Never Forget You.”
Others thought the Red Sox’s social media person was poking fun at A-Rod. “How did you guys diss Arod without mentioning Arod,” one person commented with laughing emojis, while another asked, “Was this a shot at A-Rod.”
Despite all the excitement surrounding the revival of Bennifer — which the Red Sox’s TikTok fueled — the exes are not a couple again. “Jennifer and Ben had a great time on their trip to Montana…she does look at him as more than a friend,” a source close to J.Lo EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife after they returned from the Montana getaway earlier this month. The insider added, “Everything is really fresh still for Jen. She’s done with Alex for good but she’s not ready to rush into another relationship.”
