ALEX Rodriguez got dragged by fans who noticed he followed Vanderpump Rules’ hottie Ariana Madix after Madison LeCroy affair rumors.
The former MLB shortstop has been wrapped up in speculation he cheated on fiancée Jennifer Lopez, 51, with the Southern Charm star – though the pair claim their relationship “wasn’t physical.”
As many online believe ARod, 45, allegedly strayed from his relationship with JLo, eagle-eyed fans spotted a new lady the athlete is a fan of.
On Friday, Alex became one of the 1.3 million people following VPR fan-favorite, Ariana, on Instagram.
The blonde bombshell caught wind of the follow when one fan gave her a warning.
“Be careful,” one follower commented to the TV personality as she responded with a laughing emoji.
Others also poked fun at the athlete’s social media activity, with one meme showing a picture of ARod sitting on a lounge chair as he looks down at his phone with a large cigar.
“ARod unfollowing all the young blondes on Instagram,” the caption quipped.
It is not exactly clear what the relationship between Ariana and ARod is – if any – however, she has been in a relationship with co-star and boyfriend Tom Sandoval for nearly seven years.
Their relationship appears to be going strong, as last year, the couple purchased a $2 million L.A. mansion they called their “dream home.”
Meanwhile, Alex has been embattled with accusations of having an “affair” with Southern Charm’s Madison.
Despite his engagement to Jenny From The Block, the Yankees champion sparked rumors of a romance with the Bravo star this week.
While the duo insist they are “just friends,” an insider close to Madison, 31, claimed their relationship was NOT “strictly platonic.”
Exclusively talking to The Sun, the source even alleged the reality personality was “smitten” with the former Yankee.
“Madison hasn’t exactly kept the ARod thing a secret. It’s been buzzing around town for awhile and it really is such a small town here, things spread so fast,” the Charleston insider told The Sun.
The informant continued: “She’s been talking about it for months. And when she does, has the biggest smile on her face. She seemed smitten with him.
“They flirted a lot when they talked and texted and FaceTimed. It definitely wasn’t strictly platonic.”
However, it was unclear if the pair “ever actually ended up meeting in person.”
“I know they talked about hanging out in person but it never worked out. She kept blaming them not meeting up on the pandemic,” the insider concluded.
ARod has been dating JLo, 51, since 2017 and the couple announced their engagement after a family vacation to the Bahamas in 2019.
Following fan speculation the athlete and Shark Tank star had an affair, Madison spoke to Page Six, adamant that they “never met up” and “only spoke on the phone.”
She claimed that they’ve “never been physical… never had any kind of anything. Just an acquaintance.”
The mom-of-one insisted: “He’s never physically cheated on his fiancée with me.”
