One of entertainment's most notable power couples, J-Rod, the moniker given to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, has officially called off their two-year engagement.
After almost four years of togetherness, the couple has brought the curtain down on their glitzy relationship, the subject of extensive social media coverage for numerous tabloids and magazines.
According to Page Six, one of the first to break the news of the split, the couple had reportedly started to plan their wedding in early 2020, until the global pandemic disrupted their plans.
They also claimed that the split comes in the aftermath of A-Rod reportedly face timing "Southern Charm" star Madison LeCroy.
An official source was quoted as saying:
"The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they finally broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed by it."
