JLO & A-ROD:
IT’S ALL OVER FOR REAL
Amonth after rumours started circulating their relationship was over, JENNIFER LOPEZ and ALEX RODRIGUEZ officially announced their split. “We’ve realised we’re better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” the pair said in a statement.
But behind the scenes things may not be quite as amicable.
Soon after news of the breakup broke, JLo (51) liked an Instagram post about people who pretend to care – and fans think it has something to do with A-Rod.
“Don’t make her think you care when you have never given a f*ck about her,” reads the quote shared by author Reuben Holmes.
The couple, who started dating in March 2017 and got engaged two years later, were set to tie the knot last year, but postponed their nuptials because of the pandemic. Their love story took a turn earlier this year when rumours surfaced that the former baseball player cheated with Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy (30).
But the pair made an attempt to repair their relationship and immediately released a statement denying breakup reports and saying they were working out their issues.
“The initial story caught her out, and she likes to handle her own affairs,” a friend says.
A-Rod (45) ultimately couldn’t make Jennifer trust him again.
“Once her trust is broken, there’s no turning around. She feels good about her decision because she knows A-Rod will still be in her life, just in a different capacity.”
