After months of rumors and denials, Jennifer López and Alex Rodríguez announced on Thursday that they have ended their relationship and are better off “as friends”, promising to support each other personally and in their business projects.
The announcement was made exclusively on the “Today” show on our sister network NBC. In the statement, they also said that they want the best for their children and that out of respect for them, they would just thank everyone for their words of support and encouragement.
The famous couple, who had been together for nearly four years, had denied their divorce months ago when they stated that they were working on their relationship and that their commitment was still standing.
At that point, the singer and former athlete also broke the silence in a joint statement sent to E! News. “All reports are false … We are working on a number of things,” they said.
Although it was learned that the famous actress worked in the Dominican Republic while the former baseball player was in Miami, they were seen together shortly afterwards when Rodríguez traveled to the island to visit her.
Jennifer Lopez’s boyfriend was reportedly charged with fraud and embezzlement.
López and Rodríguez announced their engagement in March 2019. J.Lo had said in December that after delaying her marriage to A-Rod due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was in no rush to get married
