Jennifer, Alex split for good
It’s official. The pop musician and baseball superstar are over as a couple
It’s official: Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are over. So why is he sharing photos of them together on his latest Instagram story?
After dispelling break-up rumours last month, the pop musician and former baseball superstar announced on April 15 that they were splitting — for real this time — after deciding they “are better as friends and look forward to remaining so.”
“We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects,” the celebrity duo told NBC’s Today show in a joint statement.
“We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
Neither party has addressed the break-up explicitly on social media.
Nearly 24 hours ago, however, Rodriguez tagged Lopez in a cryptic Instagram video panning over various couple and family photos, as well as a framed image of their names written in sand, surrounded by a Cupid-arrow heart. No caption — just @jlo and a pulsing, blue heart sticker.
In March, multiple outlets reported that the pair had ended their twoyear engagement in part because of an alleged affair between the former Yankees player and Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy. The Bravo series’ reunion special, during which LeCroy was questioned about her alleged relationship with an ‘ex-MLB star’ further fuelled speculation.
The reality TV star claimed at the time that she and Rodriguez had not interacted beyond FaceTime calls and later maintained in a statement to Page Six that he “never physically cheated on his fiancee with me.”
