J.Lo and A-Rod reportedly split

-

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have reportedly split, breaking off their twoyear engagement after four years together.

The news broke Friday courtesy of the New York Post’s Page Six, which reported that the two broke up in part because of a January scandal involving a cast member on Bravo’s “Southern Charm.” During the TV show’s reunion special, host Andy Cohen brought up Madison LeCroy’s alleged affections for “a very famous, married ex-MLB player.”

Rodriguez, of course, is unmarried, but LeCroy told Page Six last month that while she admitted messaging and speaking on the phone with the former New York Yankee, “He’s never physically cheated on his fiancée with me.”

“There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrasse­d by” the scandal, a source told the outlet.

A rep for the singer and “Hustlers” actress did not respond to the Los Angeles Times’ request for confirmati­on Friday, and neither of the exes has released a public statement.

Lopez and Rodriguez started dating in 2017 and got engaged in the Bahamas early in 2019. Then the couple had to postpone their wedding twice due to the pandemic.

Lopez noted in that interview that even though both she and Rodriguez had been married before — this would have been her fourth trip down the aisle — it was still “a little disappoint­ing” to put it off.

The “Maid in Manhattan” actress and Super Bowl halftime show star was previously married to restaurate­ur Ojani Noa, dancer Cris Judd and singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 12-year-old twins Max and Emme. She was also engaged to Oscar winner Ben Affleck, but they never married.

Rodriguez has been married once before and has two daughters, Natasha and Ella, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis.
