Alex Rodriguez recently called his failed romance with Jennifer Lopez "incredible," but that was before she deleted him from her Instagram.
Just hours after it was revealed that The Let's Get Loud hitmaker had eclipsed all evidence of her former fiancé from social media, A-Rod took to his own Instagram to make a bold statement.
