After months of rumors and rejections, Jennifer López and Alex Rodríguez announced on Thursday that they have ended their relationship and that they are better “as friends”, promising to support each other both personally and in their business projects.
The announcement was made exclusively on the “Today” show on our sister network NBC. In the statement, they also said that they wish the best for their children and that, out of respect for them, they will only thank everyone for their words of support and encouragement.
The famous couple, who had been together for almost four years, had denied their separation a few months ago, when they indicated that they were working on their relationship and that their commitment was still standing.
At that time, the singer and the former athlete also broke the silence in a joint statement sent to E! News. “All the reports are incorrect … We are working on some things,” they said.
Although it was learned that the famous actress was working in the Dominican Republic while the former baseball player was in Miami, shortly afterwards they had been seen together when Rodríguez traveled to the island to visit her.
