Jennifer Lopez has made her break up from Alex Rodriguez Instagram official—and by that we mean she’s gone through Instagram and wiped every bit of evidence of her former relationship from her grid, unfollowing her former fiance in the process.
Despite Rodriguez appearing in significant life and career events beside Lopez over their four-year relationship, the 52-year-old made no exceptions, even deleting images with her ex from her historic performance at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration (she thankfully kept her solo shots from the day, though).
Of course, Lopez’s Instagram purge comes less than a month after she went Insta official with her new—or old, depending on what way you look at it—beau, Ben Affleck. Spending her 52nd birthday on the trip she’d originally planned with ARod, JLo shared a photo passionately kissing Affleck on a superyacht in France.
Despite his ex moving on both digitally and physically, as of Monday August 16th, ARod hadn’t followed suit, leaving all images of himself and Lopez on his account and still following not only her, but also her JLo Beauty official Instagram account and 21—yes, 21—fan accounts of hers. Wow.
Though JLo fan accounts are still filling up his grid, in real life, Rodriguez was recently spotted galavanting around St. Tropez, Monaco, Spain, and Italy celebrating his 46th birthday with sports reporter Melanie Collins.
While in St. Tropez, Rodriguez and Collins were spotted in matching all-white outfits, having lunch with mutual friends Jessie James Decker and her husband, Eric Decker. But despite the very romantic looking getaway, a source told PEOPLE the pair are “just friends.” They added, “Alex is single and having fun.”
On Instagram, Rodriguez marked his birthday with a post, writing, “I’m feeling so grateful today, not just for celebrating my big day with my incredible friends and family on this magical trip, but for all of the well-wishes, love and support from everyone. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Here’s to a healthy, happy and meaningful 365 days for us all!”
Looks like we should add a bet to our books: when ARod will start following Menalie Collins’ STAN accounts.
