And they are back.
The New York Post and TMZ posted photos on Thursday of former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and actress / singer Jennifer Lopez literally kissing and reconciling this week in the Dominican Republic.
The photos came a day after the New York Post reported that Rodriguez and Lopez had reunited as a couple.
That report came five days after the couple ended their engagement.
What has become clear now is that Rodriguez and Lopez are taking another chance after spending time together in the Dominican Republic.
“They had a great time in the Dominican Republic,” an exclusive source told Page Six. “They continue to work through things. That is the status quo now. They are together. “… The glamorous duo had a conversation all night, the sources said, and on Saturday had made enough progress to issue a statement saying they were not separated and were” working on some things “.
According to Page Six, “(Rodriguez) jumped on a plane to visit Lopez in the Dominican Republic. … ‘Happy Monday. New week. New day. Forward. Upward ‘, he posted in an Instagram story showing the ocean and marking Lopez … (who is) in the Dominican Republic filming his new film,’ Shotgun Wedding ‘”.
TMZ reports, “Now, we are told that A-Rod goes to the DR every few weeks while Jen is there filming – so this current trip could have been planned all the time. Still, the fact that he did this … is a sign that they can fix everything, after all. “
TMZ also reports that the split was “a total shock to their children – and that is one of the main reasons why the couple is now together in the Dominican Republic trying to fix things.”
On Friday, the New York Post reported that the power duo canceled their engagement.
But on Saturday, TMZ dropped this nugget: “Reports of his death as a couple were very exaggerated – well, maybe just exaggerated – because they say they are still struggling to be together … TMZ has learned. … Both JLo and A-Rod tell TMZ, ‘All reports are inaccurate. We are working on some things. ‘We have also been told that what they are working on has nothing to do with third parties. “
In addition, TMZ spoke to Rodriguez on Saturday and asked if he and Lopez, who had been engaged since 2019, are still working on their relationship. Your answer: a thumbs up.
TMZ also asked Rodriguez about the status of their relationship and said “I’m not single”, making a point of emphasizing.
To add to the confusion, the New York Post reported on Saturday that “Lopez and Rodriguez may have postponed the separation due to the enormity of their financial embarrassment. A source exclusively told Page Six Friday that an army of lawyers and business managers has been examining the details of J-Rod’s joint ventures and property portfolio in the past week. “
“There have been frantic meetings at A. Rod Corp in the past few days on how to split up their assets,” said the source. “Jennifer and Alex have worked together on many business and real estate projects.” But a separate source said: “Everyone who works in the business for the couple is mainly saying, ‘Thank God they didn’t buy Mets’.”

In November, Rodriguez and Lopez watched billionaire hedge fund manager Steven Cohen overcome his bid to buy the New York Mets. Despite this setback, the couple looked happy in January, when Rodriguez attended the inauguration of President Joe Biden, in which Lopez performed before the inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC
Last month, Rodriguez and Lopez were spotted together at the Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida.
Rodriguez is expected to resume his broadcasting career next month as an analyst for ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” (he re-signed with Worldwide Leader in January). He will join Matt Vasgersian and Buster Olney for the Opening Day between the Mets and the Washington Nationals on April 1, followed by the Sunday Night Baseball season premiere on April 4, when the Los Angeles Angels host Chicago White Sox.
Rodriguez is also a studio analyst at FOX Sports and will make his first appearance in the National Baseball Hall of Fame vote later this year. Rodriguez retired in 2016 with 696 career runs, the fourth best ever, behind Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714). But Rodriguez’s induction is not certain after missing the 2014 season while serving a suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs.
