Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez confirm breakup after four years together

After four years together, Hollywood sweethearts Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have split, bringing their engagement to an end. The Hollywood stars were originally due to marry last year.

Jennifer, 51, and A-Rod, 45, have vowed to continue to support one another, as they thanked their friends and fans for their messages of support.

In a joint statement, the couple – who got engaged in 2019 – announced they were better off as friends, parting ways amicably.

The statement, shared with Today, read: “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.”

According to the publication, they struggled to find the time to see one another with J-Lo filming a new movie in the Dominican Republic, while Alex stayed in Miami.

Just last month, the couple addressed split rumours that had been swirling, insisting they were still together but simply “working through things”.

“All the reports are inaccurate. We are working through some things,” they told Today at the time.
