J.Lo & A.Rod Desperate To Prove They're Still In Love Amid Mistress Nightmare

J-Rod is officially in “damage control” mode, RadarOnline.com has learned, as Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez desperately try to convince the world there is no trouble in paradise.

Just before RadarOnline.com As RadarOnline.com broke the exclusive news that Rodriquez, 41, had been secretly seeing a Florida fitness model behind Lopez’s back, the couple tried to make a pre-emptive P.R. strike, each posting a happy couple photo to their respective Instagram accounts.

The photos were posted over the weekend, but RadarOnline.com can confirm that the former Yankee was well aware by then that his infidelity was about to be revealed to the world.

A-Rod’s pic, which shows the couple cuddling, was captioned: "Happy Sunday! #downtime."

Earlier this week, RadarOnline.com revealed the explosive National ENQUIRER interview with A-Rod’s mistress, Lauren Hunter.

In the blockbuster exposé, Hunter, 34, detailed her raunchy romps with the former All-Star — including wild nights of rough sex, dirty talk and twisted pleas for masturbation videos!

“His biggest fetish is voyeurism,” Hunter dished. “He would rather see me getting pleasure than him get pleasure. I’ve been on trips to New York and we’ve not even had sex, he’s just pleased me. He gets himself off. It’s just strange.

“Sex is not soft and gentle, he’s rough. He is good in bed, and well endowed; he’s circumcised! I don’t think he’s ever made love to anybody, ever.”

After those awkward details came to light, J-Rod tried to show that they were still strong together. But new photos of the couple reveal them looking nothing short of uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, friends say Lopez is in denial, refusing to leave and unwilling to admit what a cad Rodriguez really is.
