Alex Rodriguez took to his Instagram page to post a rather controversial image. The new addition to his feed showed the former MLB star posing on a red sports car — but not just any vehicle he owns. It’s actually the same car he gave to his former flame, Jennifer Lopez for her 50th birthday.
He’s Very Generous

According to Yahoo, the car mentioned was a 2019 red 911 Carrera GTS Porsche, which has a value of $146,000.
“I’m super down to earth,” the 46-year-old businessman captioned the Instagram post. He wore a tan suit with an olive necktie and dark brown leather shoes as he sat on the hood of the vehicle. Two more luxury cars were seen behind it.
While he didn’t mention his ex-fiancee, several Instagram users were able to spot the significance of the red car.
His Followers Knew

“Haaaaaaaaaaa! I love it!“ Derrick “D-Nice” Jones commented.
“Savage. Posing with the car he bought JLo for her bday lmfao,” wrote another follower.
“Not JLo’s whip no more,” added the third commenter.
Some fans also noted how Lopez made the “wrong” decision. One of them explained: “You know you were the best match for that girl, but, instead she wants to deal with a low self-esteem man because it makes her feel good, she’s Macha!”
Since going live on Instagram, the new upload received over 100,000 likes and dozens of comments.
Whatever Happened To The Ring

Rodriguez and Lopez got engaged in March 2019, with the singer receiving a huge, emerald-cut diamond ring. At the time, they never revealed the price, and a lot of people speculated on the carat and value.
“Our team of gemologists and diamond PhDs estimate the emerald-cut diamond is 20 carats and worth around $4.5 million,” Ajay Anand, CEO of Rare Carat, told Harper’s Bazaar.
However, it was later revealed that the piece of jewelry had a price tag of $1.8 million. Still a hefty sum.
Plenty of fans speculated about the two tying the knot last year, especially since their kids got along so well. Unfortunately, the former lovers split back in April after dating for four years.
Better As Friends?
“We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” Rodriguez and Lopez said in a statement to the Today show at the time. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other, and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
During the course of their relationship, A-Rod has gifted JLo with many expensive things. While the Porsche was returned, the engagement ring was not. According to Cosmopolitan, the musician still has the jewelry in her possession. She’ll probably keep it just like what happened to the ring Ben Affleck gave her.
