Earlier in February, speculation arose that "Southern Charm" star Madison LeCroy and Rodriguez were having an affair. The reality star told Page Six that they had never met in person but spoke over the phone. Sources close to Rodriguez denied that the athlete knew LeCroy to the paper.
E! News at the time spoke with a source close to Lopez that said the singer "doesn't let the cheating rumors get to her and chooses not to pay attention."

Rodriguez was previously married to Cynthia Scurtis but divorced in 2008 after six years of marriage. They share two daughters: Natasha, 16, and Ella, 12.
Lopez has been married three times before she started dating Rodriguez. She and actor Ojani Noa were married for a year before divorcing in 1998. She then tied the knot with Cris Judd in 2001, parting ways two years later.
In 2004, she married Marc Anthony and had twins Emma and Maximilian, both 13, with him before they divorced in 2014.
