Jose Canseco accused Alex Rodriguez of having an illicit relationship with his wife in 2008
MLB legend Jose Canseco once accused former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez of having an affair with his ex-wife Jessica. In 2019, Canseco posted a couple of tweets accusing A-Rod and his ex-wife of having an illicit relationship.
In 2008 too, the New York Post posted quotes from Canseco saying he believed Rodriguez and Jessica were having an affair. However, Rodriguez denied the accusations.
Canseco said:
“I believe they had an affair. I’m pretty sure of it. I spoke with Alex and he denied it, but the way he denied it, it wasn’t reassuring. I spoke to my ex-wife last year about it and I’m not going to say she acknowledged that they did, but she did not say that they did not.”
Alex Rodriguez was accused of cheating by Jose Canseco in 2019 as well
Canseco doubled down on his accusations against A-Rod several years later. In a tweet he posted in 2019, Canseco once again said Rodriguez was cheating on Jennifer Lopez with his ex-wife Jessica.
"Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is," Jose Canseco wrote.
Canseco even went as far as to claim that he would be willing to take a lie-detector test to prove his case.
"I am willing to take a polygraph to prove that what I'm saying about Alex Rodriguez is 100% accurate."
Jessica denied the allegations.
"Those false accusations Jose is making are not true! I have known Alex for many years and haven’t even seen him for over 5. I certainly did not sleep with him. I am friendly with both him and Jennifer. As for Jose he can keep playing with his Alien friends," Jessica wrote.
A-Rod dated Lopez for a couple of years and the duo were regarded as one of the most powerful couples in Hollywood.
Lopez recently tied the knot with actor Ben Affleck in Las Vegas, while Rodriguez is reportedly dating fitness enthusiast and model Kathryne Padgett.
A-Rod played for 22 seasons in MLB and is the chairman and CEO of A-Rod Corp. He partly owns NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves.
