By james art Southern charm star Madison LeCroy and her ex-boyfriend Austin Kroll have offered more details about LeCroy and Alex Rodriguez’s alleged relationship rumors in the early months of 2021.
During a Southern charm reunion in February 2021, Craig Conover claimed that LeCroy “flew to Miami to bang a former MLB player.” LeCroy immediately denied the allegations, saying, “Give me a name! Put me on a polygraph test. I never flew to Miami. Where’s the record of that? That’s fake.”
The tabloids then linked LeCroy to Rodriguez, a former New York Yankee who was engaged to Jennifer Lopez at the time.
LeCroy and Kroll, who dated for two years before officially splitting in 2020, appeared on Craig Conover’s Pillows and beer podcast this week with more information.
LeCroy, 32, recalls receiving repeated DMs from Rodriguez, leading her to believe she had been scammed. He remembered thinking, “The dude who’s coming out [Jennifer Lopez] is no in my DMs right now.”
Despite his disbelief, however, LeCroy told the situation it was real and that Rodriguez contacted her. Kroll then chimed in with his own recollection of the experience: “He kept FaceTiming you ad nauseam,” he told his ex.
“You said, ‘This motherfucker FaceTimed me three or four times today,'” Kroll recalled. “And then he kind of got mad at Madison because she didn’t respond when she was on the boat or something. And she said, ‘I’m not at your disposal.’
LeCroy agreed with Kroll’s account. “I said, ‘If you’re looking for a side chick, which he obviously was, it wouldn’t be me,'” she said. “I’m husband material.”
Kroll added that Rodriguez sent LeCroy several flight itineraries to visit him in Florida, none of which happened.
LeCroy repeated her denial in 2021 that she had ever met Rodriguez in person. “I didn’t fly to Miami during that time,” she said. “People still don’t believe me. I swear to God, I’ve never, ever seen that guy.”
In response to these claims, Rodriguez’s spokesperson, Ron Berkowitz, tells ET, “Her 15 minutes of fame is up and she’s trying to get her 16th. Please stop wasting everyone’s time with these false narratives. They were false two years ago and they continue to be false.”
Rodriguez and Lopez called off their engagement a few months later Southern charm gathering. Shortly after, Lopez rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck, whom she married in 2022.
