Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez Officially Call it Quits
By Natalie Zamora
They're officially moving on.
After four years of dating and two years engaged, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have split. Though rumors started circulating in March that the two were going their separate ways, it wasn't until April 15 that they confirmed their breakup. As reported by Entertainment Tonight, the two stars released a joint statement announcing the news.
Read Lopez and Rodriguez's statement below:
"We have realized we 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. 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."
Though J.Lo and A.Rod were a fan-favorite couple for a few years, many started raising eyebrows about their relationship in recent months, especially when rumors began swirling that infidelity was involved. According to Cosmopolitan, allegations came out that Rodriguez had an affair with Southern Comfort star Madison LeCroy.
However, the former couple denied the cheating allegations. In a statement released to TMZ in March, Lopez and Rodriguez said, "All the reports are inaccurate. We are working through some things."
Unfortunately, it looks like the two celebs ultimately couldn't work through their issues, whether or not cheating was actually involved. We wish them both the best moving forward and hope they're able to heal from the split separately.
