They have both been chartering superyachts in Saint-Tropez this weekend, so it was only a matter of time before exes Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez almost crossed paths with one another.

DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal how Jen, 52, narrowly avoided bumping into her ex-fiancé Alex, 45, after they made separate reservations at the same restaurant - the fancy Bagatelle St. Tropez - on the French Riviera.

'JLo had made a reservation at the same restaurant, the same day,' a St. Tropez insider reveals.

'Her assistant turned up to check everything was OK, and there was A-Rod having lunch. She alerted JLo and the reservation was quickly cancelled.'

Luckily, Jen avoided seeing her ex Alex dine out with blonde sports presenter Melanie Collins, who was dressed in a very revealing black ensemble. 

Jen has been enjoying a romantic getaway with her on-again boyfriend Ben Affleck over the weekend, and the pair were pictured together enjoying a raucous meal at a restaurant to celebrate her birthday. 

Instead of Bagatelle St. Tropez - that serves French Mediterranean cuisine - Ben and Jen were pictured enjoying a few drinks at the equally sophisticated L'Opéra Saint-Tropez. 

However, it seems A-Rod has more important things on his mind as he gears up to celebrate his 46th birthday onboard a fancy $32M yacht.
