The serial dater
recently called it quits with her latest love, Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez,
after a year together, according to Us Weekly.
Despite their steamy
beach getaways and Diaz's jovial relationship with Rodriguez's young daughters,
work ultimately came between them, a source told the magazine.
"She's very
busy with her career," the source said of the star of "Bad
Teacher." "And he's had injuries and wants to focus on his game.
They're dedicated professionals."
In the past, Diaz,
39, has made it clear that she would be OK without the whole marriage and kids
thing.
"Marriage
hasn't been important to me," she told Cosmopolitan magazine earlier this
year. "And you can't have a child just because you think it's something
you are supposed to do."
Sounds like another
Hollywood star -- at least until recently. Jennifer Aniston seemed more
attached to her hairstyle than she did to any one guy after her marriage to
Brad Pitt ended in 2005. That changed after she met Justin Theroux. They have
reportedly moved in together and tabloid headlines scream that Aniston is
trying for a baby.
Looks like Diaz may
have knocked Aniston off the throne as queen of Hollywood's single ladies. A
look back at Diaz's past relationships before A-Rod:
Paul
Sculfor
After Diaz's father,
Emiliio Diaz, died in 2008, the actress seemed to keep her options open. While she was linked
to Bradley Cooper and model Paul Sculfor, it was Sculfor she stepped out with
publicly and dated for the next year.
John
Mayer
After her breakup
with Justin Timberlake, Diaz had a brief dalliance with singer-songwriter John
Mayer -- another thing she and Aniston share in common.
Justin
Timberlake
In 2003, Diaz was
considered the older woman when, at the age of 30, she hooked up with
22-year-old Justin Timberlake.
Despite their age
difference, the two seemed perfectly suited jetting around the world surfing
and skiing, and equally dedicated to their careers. But after four years, they
called quits on the relationship, though they continue to collaborate
professionally, including in the recent film, "Bad Teacher."
Jared
Leto
Diaz started her
low-profile romance with actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto in
1999.
The actress would
dodge her first wedding rumors, after wearing a $15,000 ring of rose-cut
diamonds to the 2003 Golden Globes. Their relationship
lasted four years.
Matt
Dillon
Diaz met Matt Dillon
in Minnesota, where they were both filming.
She was making
"Beautiful Girls," he, "Feeling Minnesota" when they began
their two-year relationship.
"I love him
incredibly," she told Britain's Guardian in 1997.
Carlos
de la Torre
In 1990, a year
after she was discovered at age 16, Diaz met and fell for video producer Carlos
de la Torre, 27, while shooting an ad for L.A. Gear.
"I spent the
entire day trying to get him to talk to me," she told People in 1994.
Diaz was still with
de la Torre when she landed her first movie role, playing opposite Jim Carrey
in "The Mask."
