Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez break up, cancel the engagement

There will be no more J-Rod.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez broke up, Page Six found out exclusively.

The superstar couple was photographed last month happily embracing in the Dominican Republic, where Lopez, 51, is filming his latest film, “Shotgun Wedding”. This week’s reports said their twice-delayed wedding was back on track.

But Miami sources told Page Six that the couple was on rocks and heading for Splitsville. A source familiar with A-Rod told us on Friday about the separated couple: “Now they are in Miami preparing for the baseball season and they are filming their movie in the Dominican Republic”.

On Friday, 45-year-old A-Rod posted a picture of himself on Instagram on a Miami yacht, grimacing and looking at his cell phone with the caption “Don’t get mad at me, just taking a ship … What are your plans for the weekend? “(Looks like he’ll be solo.)

Meanwhile, J.Lo posted a series of old videos 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 videos, which had a light tone, come from interviews with David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Wendy Williams, as well as from his appearances in “World of Dance” and “American Idol”.

Earlier in the week, she also posted a sexy solo picture, relaxed in a robe on a luxury bed, during a break from shooting.

The stars announced their engagement in 2019, after meeting for more than two years.

But then they postponed their wedding twice. Lopez revealed in December: “We had to cancel the wedding … because of COVID, because of quarantine. And I actually did it twice, which people don’t know. ”

It is not clear when the problems in paradise for the engaged couple began. But the split stems from rumors that Rodriguez was FaceTiming with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy.

“The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they eventually broke up. There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed by that, “a source told Page Six on Friday.

Sources close to A-Rod told The Post rumors last month: “He doesn’t know this woman,” and LeCroy told Page Six exclusively that she and A-Rod “never met,” but that he would have “talked on the phone. “This is the truth,” she said, adding that “they were never physical … they never had anything.” Just an acquaintance. ”

Lopez and Rodriguez then put a united front against the backdrop of the scandal, leaving for dinner in Miami and participating in 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 their time in quarantine. “I think he was very helpful to us in our relationship,” Lopez said.

But apparently it wasn’t enough to hold them together in the end.

Lopez had previously said he had to postpone the wedding: “I think we just feel ‘Let’s wait.’ There is no rush, we are good, everything is cool and it will happen when the time is right. I feel like it’s not a huge priority to go and have a big wedding now, that’s not what life is about. ”

A-Rod joked on “The Tonight Show” in April: “Some said we might 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.

While the couple was not married, they had a predilection for seizing property and getting into business together. Apparently they bought a $ 40 million waterfront home on Star Island, Florida last summer and have already overturned a Miami home 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 both support the TruFusion fitness brand.

Lopez’s latest film also features Josh Duhamel, who took over the role in the film when Armie Hammer came out. She also recently launched her JLo Beauty line.

A-Rod, which works for both ESPN and Fox Sports as a broadcaster, recently filed a $ 500 million fundraiser with an Antara Capital hedge fund for a procurement company. for a special purpose called Slam Corp.
