Jennifer Lopez’s private detective
Jennifer Lopez thought about hiring a sleuth after National Enquirer had interviewed his alleged former mistress Lauren Hunter.
Hunter had said in the interview about Alex Rodriguez:
“I don’t think he’s sexually attracted to her,”
It is said that Alex dated Hunter since 2011 while he was supposedly still in a relationship with actress Cameron Diaz. She also said that Alex was still in relation with her and that she has text messages to prove her point.
These disclosures worried Jennifer Lopez immensely about her 4-month romance with Alex. She suspected and doubted that Alex might be cheating on her and hence Jennifer decided to seek the assistance of a private investigator to pacify those suspicions.

“She’s really into Alex and wants it to work. So she’s trying to control as much as she can.”
The source also said:
“He found out and they had a huge fight. But they’re working through it.”
