Jennifer Lopez and the real reason she broke up with Alex Rodríguez
People close to the singer claim that she decided to break her engagement with the businessman since she did not trust him due to rumors that she had an affair with model Madison LeCroy
A huge rumor is circulating about the reason Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez split, including details on who she broke up with who in the end. The former couple officially ended their engagement last week after failing to overcome a serious crisis that originated last year during confinement due to the pandemic.
While the superstar and the baseball player-turned-businessman released a joint statement on April 15 announcing the end of their engagement, multiple sources confirm in this week's edition of the American magazine People, that it was Lopez, 51, who broke up with Rodríguez, 45.
“She insisted on it. They had too many unsolved problems, "said a person very close to the Latin singer and actress, who has been filming her upcoming comedy" Shotgun Wedding "in the Dominican Republic for the past few months.
And she added that J Lo ended the relationship as she could not fully "trust" Rodríguez, who flew to visit her on the island days after they publicly acknowledged on March 15 that they were working on problems that had been latent for a long time.
The Page Six site previously revealed that the couple, who got engaged in 2019 but postponed their wedding twice, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, had parted ways due to Rodriguez's scandal with model Madison LeCroy, to whom he was related.
The former Yankees player is known for his fame as a womanizer. Before falling in love with J.Lo, he had romances with celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and Madonna. And it is also not the first time that A-Rod faces scandals related to infidelities, it was precisely this type of problems that he had with his former partner, the Cuban José Canseco, who literally accused him of cheating on the singer with his ex-wife Jessica Sekely. “Alex Rodriguez stops being a piece of shit. He stops cheating on Jennifer Lopez, ”he wrote to her on Twitter.
Another source told Page Six in March: “The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they finally parted ways. There were already problems, but Jennifer was very embarrassed. "
"She's been pretty miserable and she didn't think it was best for her to stay with Alex," the insider continued. Although ending things with Rodríguez was not easy, López feels at peace with her decision. “They will try to be friends and there is respect there. But they definitely go their separate ways. "
“We have realized that we are better as friends and we hope to continue being that,” J.Lo and Rodríguez told the Today show. "We will continue to work together and support each other in our shared businesses and projects."
While the couple, nicknamed J-Rod, also have several business ventures together and share properties in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, "they are especially sad for the children, as they are all so close," said Lopez's friend. "It is not a good situation, but it is inevitable."
For now, López is focusing on what brings him the most joy: her children and her work.
J.Lo has twins Max and 13-year-old Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Jennifer has been in these difficult situations before. She is not the type to sit and cry, "he added. “Her children make her happier. She is fine ".
She also found support from her 52-year-old ex-husband, who recently brought Max and Emme to the Dominican Republic to spend time with her mom. "Jennifer and Marc have a great relationship," noted the magazine.
