Did ARod cheat on JLo with her?
Instagram New rumors are floating around that newly-engaged Alex Rodriguez has been running around behind Jennifer Lopez's back with Jessica Canseco, the ex-wife of former New York Yankee slugger Jose Canseco. Jessica is a cosmetic tattoo artist — that is, if you want permanent eyelines, she is the sort of tattoo artist you'd go to. She was married to Jose Canseco for three years from 1996 to 1999. She was also married to plastic surgeon Garth Fisher from 2007 to 2011. Both marriages ended in divorce. Who is Jessica Canseco and what are these rumors that she's been having an affair with Alex Rodriguez?
1. Jose Canseco started the rumor
On Sunday, March 10, Jose Canseco took to Twitter to accuse ARod of cheating on JLo with his ex-wife Jessica Canseco. Rodriguez and Lopez got engaged over the weekend and were vacationing in the Florida Keys. Canseco wrote a series of tweets accusing ARod, starting with: “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" and “I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone. … Alex Rodriguez stop being a piece of shit stop cheating on Jennifer Lopez.”
2. She worked at Hooters
Jose met Jessica in the 1990s when she was a waitress at Hooters. The couple got married in 1996 and had a daughter, Josie, before getting divorced in 1999. Before their divorce, Jose was arrested on a domestic abuse charge. He pled no contest to hitting Jessica and was sentenced to one year of probation. This was not the first time Canseco was charged with domestic violence. According to the New York Times, “In 1992, he was charged with aggravated assault for ramming his vehicle into a new car driven by his first wife, Esther. He agreed to community service and counseling."
3. Her daughter is a Playmate and model
Jose and Jessica Canseco's daughter Josie was the Playboy Playmate of the Month in June 2016. She is repped by Next Models Worldwide and models for Victoria's Secret. She's active on social media with more than 430,000 IG followers. She captioned a recent photo of herself: “Stopped back in the city today to shoot my biggest project yet. Back to LA for a week, then officially moving into my dream apartment in the Big Apple."
4. Jessica is a paramedical tattoo artist
Jessica Canseco owns a cosmetic tattoo business in Beverly Hills. She offers a number of services including scar camoflauge, cosmetic tattooing, and medical needling. According to her website: “Jessica began her career with internationally recognized Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Garth Fisher of ABCs Extreme Makeover. This experience added a new dimension to her approach to natural and non-invasive beautification techniques. Jessica's expertise in beauty enhancement has earned her prominent Beverly Hills practice an unequaled reputation."
5. Back to Jose's tweets
Jose Canseco is not letting this ARod cheated on JLo with his ex-wife thing go. He kept tweeting Sunday and at one point appeared to offer to fight Rodriquez to defend JLo's honor. "Alex Rodriguez I challenge you to a boxing match or MMA match anytime you want," he tweeted. Then he said, "I am willing to take a polygraph to prove that what I'm saying about Alex Rodriguez is 100% accurate." And finally, he tweeted to JLo, "@JLo if you want the truth about Alex Rodriguez call me 702-374-3735"
