Reports emerged on Friday that the power couple had ended their two-year engagement, with speculation that A-Rod’s friendship with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy was to blame.
But over the weekend, the couple responded to the reports, confirming that they are still together.
In a joint statement, they said, “We’re working through a number of things.”
That same day, A-Rod was photographed in Miami, telling reporters, “I’m not single.”
A source claimed they had “been through a rough patch” but never fully broken up. They also denied that the couple’s problems involved a third person.

Work Job: The 51-year-old actress is in the process of filming her new movie Shotgun Wedding in the Caribbean
The insider told People of the couple’s relationship: ‘They never officially broke up and talked about it, but are still together. They ended up in a difficult period. But they were not apart …
“She works in the Dominican Republic and he’s in Miami, so it’s hard to see each other, especially with quarantine and COVID, but they want to try and stick together.”
Last week, the couple’s allegations of division were widely covered by multiple news outlets, including Page Six and CNN, who cited close sources as saying the couple broke up after the relationship had been on the rocks for a while.
Rough Patch: On Saturday, the pair said in a joint statement that they are still together and to People magazine, “We’re working on a number of things.”
Page Six specifically claimed that Jennifer and Rodriguez were reportedly divided over his alleged friendship with LeCroy.
A source told the publication, ‘The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they eventually broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed about it. ‘
The 30-year-old Bravo star was pictured on Sunday in exclusive photos obtained from Dailymail.com.
The blonde TV star dodged questions about the couple’s split when she was spotted leaving a gym in Charleston, South Carolina – despite repeated claims that she was the catalyst to end the A-list romance.

The explosive allegations originally originated during a recent Southern Charm reunion, where Madison claimed she had been in contact with a married and ex-MLB player. The name had been paged out.
During the episode, Madison was also accused of sleeping with the unidentified sports star, but she denied ever seeing the man in person, although she did admit to giving him a DM.
Suspicions arose that the person could have been Rodriguez, despite not being married and only engaged to Jennifer at the time.
Madison later revealed in an interview with Page Six that she had communicated ‘innocently’ with Rodriguez, but that they had ‘never met’ and only ‘spoke on the phone’.
“That’s the truth,” the reality star claimed, clarifying that they “were never physical … never had anything. Just an acquaintance. ‘

Madison also insisted that Rodriguez had never physically cheated on Jennifer with her and that their calls had been “inconsistent” and “random.” The reality star did not want to reveal what was discussed.
From the jump, Alex and Jennifer denied the Southern Charm star’s claims and a source previously told DailyMail.com, “Alex has never met or spoke to Madison or anyone on the show.”
Jennifer and Alex have had to postpone their marriage twice due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and even in January of this year, Alex admitted he can’t wait to marry Jennifer, joking “ third time is the charm ” as they prepared for the big day.
He said: ‘We tried it twice in 2020. We were bitten twice by COVID-19. You know, they say in baseball, “Third time is the charm,” so let’s hope. It’s been such a crazy year for her. So awesome. So many blessings. In the space of 12 months, she’s done the Super Bowl, New Year’s, the inauguration. ‘
