The pair released a joint statement announcing their split today, which 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."
Lopez and Rodriguez started dating in 2017, and then announced their engagement in 2019. They were supposed to get married in 2020 but had to postpone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lopez posted a photo recently where she wasn't wearing her engagement ring, which fueled breakup rumors. After the statement had been posted, Rodriguez took to his Instagram story to post a video with photos of the couple and the song "Fix You" by Coldplay in the background. Yeesh.
Lopez hasn't posted anything on her Instagram alluding to the breakup, but fans weren't exactly caught by surprise by the news. Let's hope that they can move forward amicably and stay friends, because they were one powerful couple.
