Alex Rodriguez happy for his ex fiancé Jennifer Lopez after she marries Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez's ex fiancé Alex Rodriguez has shown that there's no hard feelings after JoLo tied the knot with Ben Affleck.

Just days before the singer and actor got married, Alex, 46, had only good words to say about his former partner.

When he was asked about his relationship with the On The Floor hitmaker, Alex told The Martha Stewart Podcast: "We had a great time."

"More importantly, we always put the kids front and centre in everything we do,"

"Here's what I will tell you about Jennifer and I was telling some of my colleagues here the other day: She's the most talented human being I've ever been around, [the] hardest worker. And I think she is the greatest performer, live performer, in the world today that's alive."

Jennifer and Alex were together for five years and engaged for two but called off their relationship in April 2021.

Alex was seen having dinner in Los Angeles just hours after Jennifer and Ben got married in Las Vegas.

He stepped outside Mr Chow in Beverly Hills with his baseball friend David Ortiz.

Bennifer eloped on Saturday at the Little White Chapel after the pair rekindled their relationship last year.

Kenosha Portis, who was working as a witness at the famous venue, shared a first-hand account of the couple's big day.

Speaking on Good Morning America, Kenosha said the couple both cried during the ceremony.

She said: "It was so exciting. I mean, we were getting ready to close and we had a special guest arrive as a walk-in. I started shaking a little bit, you know, 'Oh my God this is Jennifer Lopez we are getting ready to marry!'"

"As they were reading each other’s vows, they were very sweet, they both were emotional. They cried to each other. The kids were right there behind them," she recalled.

"She had on a nice, elegant, beige, lacy type dress. It had a train on it. The veil was beautiful.

The witness continued: "Everything was very sleek and beautiful. She was stunning."

"She had a beautiful bouquet, white bouquet, that she had, and he had a boutonniere as well that matches that."
