J-Rod is this summer’s hottest celebrity couple

Summer flings, dog-day divorces, publicity-pumped power couples and May-December romances — this summer Page Six had ‘em all. From our favorite new couples to matches made in Hollywood hell, here are Page Six’s Best of Summer Relationships.

Hottest Celebrity Couple: J-Rod

Perhaps the perfect power couple. Bronx legend Jennifer Lopez helped Alex Rodriguez complete his post-baseball image rehabilitation. And he’s given Lopez edge after she dated teenage-looking dancer Casper Smart. The glamorous pair attended the Met Gala, headed to Paris in June and saw the Mona Lisa. And by July, J.Lo gushed, “He’s a loving father … He’s caring and sweet and capable and responsible and just all the beautiful things you would want a man to be.”

The age-appropriate pair’s so perfect, their July birthdays are days apart. They celebrated together in Miami and New York, hung out with their kids as one family, and canoodled in the Hamptons.

Runners-up

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost: ScarCoJo! Who said nice guys finish last? Page Six exclusively reported that superstar Johansson and “Weekend Update” anchor Jost were seen smooching at an “SNL” afterparty in May, and since have been spotted in the Hamptons.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn MalikThe picture-perfect pair capped off their summer of love by appearing together on the August cover of Vogue. They even adorably revealed that they swap clothes. Then Hadid and Malik rode into the sunset. Literally. She posted an Instagram pic of him and a horse.

Selena Gomez and The WeekndThe music world’s sweetest couple are rumored to be collaborating on tracks together. They began dating earlier this year but were seen cuddling up at Disneyland in California last week.

Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky: “Mother!” director Aronofsky and the world’s biggest movie star J.Law make a heavenly Hollywood couple. The pair’s been private about their relationship, but they’ve been passionate discussing working together. She told Vogue of meeting the director, “We had energy … I had energy for him.” And he’s told Vulture of her acting, “There’s so much ability there that somehow she can summon it again and again.”

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski: It was the worst-kept romance in television. Rumored as a couple for a while, Page Six exclusively revealed the “Morning Joe” hosts got engaged in May during a trip to the French Riviera to celebrate Brzezinski’s 50th birthday.

Summer’s Worst Breakup: Anna Faris and Chris Pratt

They seemed like the perfect Hollywood pair: Faris and Pratt, two lovable goofballs who fell off the turnip truck and made it in showbiz. But when Pratt went from schlubby TV character actor in “Parks and Recreation” to franchise hero of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” his intergalactic success eclipsed his wife’s and it was too much for the relationship to withstand. But the funny blonde got in the last word on her own podcast: “Life is too short to be in relationships where … somebody doesn’t have your back.”

Runners-up

Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino Jr.: Their marriage lasted just seven months. It was a bad sign when her “Housewives” castmates confronted her with proof he’d cheated on the eve of the engagement party. But Luann barreled toward the aisle, determined to prove them wrong! By July, the unholy matrimony took another hit, literally, when she slapped him at a restaurant during an argument. The marriage was soon as done as a burger at an Independence Day barbecue.

Elon Musk and Amber HeardAfter Page Six reported they were spending time together in Miami, their camps continued denying they were dating for a full year, until Tesla guru Musk wrote online that their romance had crashed: “Long distance relationship when both partners have intense work obligations are always difficult,” he claimed.

Alexander Skarsgard and Alexa Chung: They are as hot as they are boring. The “True Blood” star and the UK fashion It girl never spoke publicly about their relationship before splitting this summer. We think they never spoke about it privately either but just stared at each other in silence, contemplating their mutual physical perfection. Summer snooze.

Best Random Celebrity Hookups: Pamela Anderson and Julian Assange

One played Barb Wire, the other’s stuck behind barbed wire. “Julian is trying to free the world by educating it. It is a romantic struggle — I love him for this,” the former “Baywatch” babe has gushed of the impossibly pale WikiLeaks founder. He’s called her “no idiot at all. Psychologically she’s very savvy.” Anderson’s managed to visit Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London several times, and she wrote a “love letter” urging his release in June. The only question: If they make a sex tape (as she did with ex-husband Tommy Lee), won’t Assange have to leak it?

Runners-up

Matt Harvey and Lo Bosworth: Partying in the Hamptons while out with an injury, Mets star Harvey was seen looking “pretty cozy” with former “The Hills” fourth banana Bosworth. But a pal covering for the infamous dog Harvey explained to us: “He’s known her for a few years … He’s single with a new puppy he’s obsessed with.” In other words, he’d rather snuggle with his puppy.

Nina Agdal and Jack Brinkley-Cook: After Leo DiCaprio and Agdal, 25, split in May after a year together, she rebounded with a younger man — Brinkley-Cook, 22. Page Six revealed in July that the pair was dating and they were seen smooching from Montauk to Manhattan. Cook’s the son of Christie Brinkley — so he’s spent nearly as many years hugging a supermodel as DiCaprio has at this point.

Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus: Affleck and Jennifer Garner‘s on/off divorce saga finally ended in April with both filing papers to end their marriage. Then, in July, the “Batman” star stepped out for pizza with “SNL” producer Shookus. But perhaps it wasn’t a summer hookup at all? Some reports said the relationship actually began as far back as 2013, while others insist it just got serious.

Player of the Summer: Leonardo DiCaprio

He traded in model Agdal in May just in time for the start of summer. Switching things up, DiCaprio moved on by August with 23-year-old brunette model Lorena Rae. DiCaprio and Rae have been seen engaging in some of his favorite activities: hanging out on a French Riviera yacht with Tobey Maguire and riding Citi Bikes in Manhattan and jetting to the Maldives.

His list of blond model conquests is enough to cast a full Victoria’s Secret show. Eva Herzigova, Gisele Bundchen, Bar Refaeli, Erin Heatherton, Toni Garrn, Kelly Rohrbach, etc. Nobody can beat DiCaprio in this category. He should just get the equivalent of a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for summer players and to have his number retired.

Runners-up

Adriana Lima: Lima gave DiCaprio, 42, a run for his money this summer. Turning the tables on the guys, the Brazilian stunner dated Matt Harvey — and then even was blamed for “ruining” the Mets’ season when she stepped out with her ex, Patriots star Julian Edelman, and Harvey was so distraught, he went out till 4 a.m., skipped a game at CitiField and was suspended by the team. Lima then rode off into the sunset with Turkish writer Metin Hara.

Scott Disick and Bella ThorneSplash News

Scott Disick: We don’t understand why any woman would go near this reality TV train wreck. But he was seen hanging with at least seven different women on his Cannes getaway, including Bella Thorne, her sister, Dani, Chloe Bartoli, Maggie Petrova, Ella Ross, Sofia Richie, Bridget Satterlee and Chantel Jeffries.
