They will no longer be J-Rod.
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez broke up, Page Six knew exclusively.
The superstar couple were photographed last month hugging each other happily in the Dominican Republic, where Lopez, 51, is filming his latest film, “Wedding Shotgun”. This week’s reports said the twice-delayed wedding was back on track.
But Miami sources were telling Page Six that the couple was losing their balance and headed for Splitsville. A source familiar with A-Rod told us about the broken pair on Friday: “He is now in Miami getting ready for the baseball season and she is filming her film in the Dominican Republic.
On Friday, A-Rod, 45, posted a photo of himself on Instagram alone on a yacht in Miami, making a face and looking at his phone with the caption: “Don’t mind me, just taking a sailing boat .. What are your plans for the weekend? “(It looks like he will be solo.)
Meanwhile, J.Lo posted a series of old clips of her laughing in various TV appearances and interviews. She captioned the montage: “Find a good reason to laugh today … Sending love to everyone”. The clips, set up for a cheerful jingle, were from interviews with David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Wendy Williams, as well as her appearances as a judge on “World of Dance” and “American Idol”.
Earlier in the week, she also posted a sexy solo scene of herself lying in a robe on a luxurious bed during a break from filming.
The stars announced their engagement in 2019, after dating for more than two years.
But they postponed the wedding twice. Lopez revealed in December: “We had to cancel the wedding … because of COVID, because of the quarantine. And we actually did it twice, which people don’t know. “
It is not clear when the problems in paradise began for the wedding couple. But the split comes in the wake of rumors that Rodriguez was doing FaceTiming with “Southern Charm” star Madison LeCroy.
“The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason why they finally broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed about it, ”a source told Page Six on Friday.
Sources close to A-Rod told The Post about the rumors last month, “He doesn’t know this woman,” and LeCroy told Page Six exclusively that she and A-Rod “never met”, but that “talked on the phone. . “” That’s the truth, “she said, adding that they” were never physicists … never had any kind of thing. Just an acquaintance. “
Lopez and Rodriguez then teamed up in the midst of the scandal, going out to dinner in Miami and attending the Super Bowl together, where J.Lo had performed at the break show a year earlier.
In a recent interview, Lopez revealed that she and Rodriguez saw a therapist during the quarantine period. “I think it was very useful for us in our relationship,” said Lopez.
But it apparently wasn’t enough to keep them together in the end.
Lopez also said earlier about having to postpone the wedding: “I think we just thought, ‘Let’s just wait’. There is no hurry, we are fine, everything is fine and it will happen at the right time. I feel like it’s not a big priority to go and have a big wedding right now, that’s not what life is about. ”
A-Rod joked on “The Tonight Show” in April: “Did some people say, maybe we have a drive-through wedding? It will be cheaper. “
Lopez has 12-year-old twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Rodriguez is the father of two daughters with ex-Cynthia Scurtis.
Although the couple was not married, they had a tendency to snap up properties and open businesses together. They bought a $ 40 million beachfront home on Star Island, Florida, last summer, and had already sold a home in Miami with the help of Chip and Joanna Gaines. They also bought and sold a penthouse in Manhattan.
Last summer, the Hollywood star and baseball legend tried unsuccessfully to buy the Mets together, but lost a bidding war to billionaire Steve Cohen.
They are also supporters of the fitness brand TruFusion.
Lopez’s latest film also stars Josh Duhamel, who took over his role in the film when Armie Hammer left. She also recently launched her JLo Beauty line.
A-Rod, who works for ESPN and Fox Sports as a broadcaster, recently filed a $ 500 million IPO request with the hedge fund Antara Capital for a special-purpose acquisition company called Slam Corp.
