The source told People about the couple’s relationship: ‘They never officially broke up and talked about it, but they are still together. They have reached a difficult stage. But they didn’t split up …
“She’s working in the Dominican Republic and he’s in Miami, so it’s hard to see each other, especially with quarantine and COVID, but they want to try to be together.”
Last week, allegations of the couple’s separation were widely publicized by several media outlets, including Page Six and CNN, which quoted close sources as saying the couple had given up after the relationship had been in ruins for some time.
Difficult patch: On Saturday, the couple said in a joint statement that they are still together and said to People magazine: ‘We are working on some things.’
It was alleged specifically by Page Six that Jennifer and Rodriguez were separated because of their supposed friendship with LeCroy.
A source told the publication: ‘The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they finally broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was very embarrassed about it.
The Bravo star, 30, was portrayed on Sunday in exclusive photos obtained by Dailymail.com.
The blonde TV star dodged questions about the couple’s separation when she was spotted leaving a gym in Charleston, South Carolina – despite repeated claims that she was the catalyst for the end of the A-lister’s romance.

The explosive allegations originally occurred during a recent Southern Charm meeting, where Madison claimed to have been in contact with a former MLB player. The name has been postponed.
During the episode, Madison was also accused of sleeping with the unidentified sports star, but she denied seeing the man in person, although she admitted that she had made him DM.
It was suspected that the person could be Rodriguez, despite the fact that he was not married and only engaged to Jennifer at the time.
Madison later revealed in an interview with Page Six that she had been in ‘innocent’ communication with Rodriguez, but that they ‘never met’ and just ‘spoke on the phone’.
“That’s the truth,” said the reality star, clarifying that they “were never physicists … never had any kind of thing. Just an acquaintance. ‘

Madison also insisted that Rodriguez ‘never physically cheated’ Jennifer on her and that her calls had been ‘inconsistent’ and ‘random’. The reality star did not reveal what was discussed.
From the jump, Alex and Jennifer denied the Southern Charm star’s claims and a source previously told DailyMail.com: ‘Alex has never met or spoken to Madison or anyone on the show.’
Jennifer and Alex had to postpone the wedding twice due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and even in January this year, Alex admitted that he can’t wait to marry Jennifer while playing with “the third time is the charm” while they prepare for the big day.
He said: ‘We tried twice in 2020. We received bits twice from COVID-19. You know, they say in baseball, “The third time is the charm”, so let’s hope. It’s been such a crazy year for her. So amazing. Lots of blesses. In the space of 12 months, she made the Super Bowl, the New Year, the inaugural one. ‘
