Alex Rodriguez rents a mansion near Jennifer Lopez's house

Alex Rodriguez rented the Hamptons mansion near Jennifer Lopez's home.

Alex Rodriguez has moved into a Hamptons mansion just a mile from Jennifer Lopez's home - and immediately sparked new romance rumors by seeing him in the company of an attractive brunette.

A-Rod has rented a $5 million mansion in Bridgehampton this summer as he continues his search for property to buy in Manhattan and in the Hamptons.

The Yankees player was seen dining Friday night with employees of his A-Rod Corp at a restaurant, and a witness said: "Alex had a long dinner on Friday with two women and his nephew Nick Silva. The brunette is so attractive, some wondered if she was Alex's new girlfriend.”

But other sources say the brunette is Liz Cohen, director of business development at A-Rod Corp, and they are not in a romantic relationship.

Will Alex Rodriguez get revenge on Ben Affleck by going out with his ex-girlfriend?
