Let's get started with today's video now. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are over
officially this time. The former power couple released a joint
statement exclusively to the Today show on Thursday, announcing that they have
called off their engagement.
"We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to
remaining so," the couple said. "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."
News of the pair's split comes after initial reports claimed that the couple
had already called it quits last month. A day after outlets reported
Lopez and Rodriguez to be over, they released a statement saying
that they were merely "working through some things"
and were photographed spending time together in the Dominican Republic, where Lopez is
currently filming a movie. The two first began dating
in 2017 and became engaged in 2019. The couple was originally set to marry
last year in a lavish ceremony in Italy but ultimately canceled the nuptials
due to gathering restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though sources previously expressed that Lopez was willing to do "whatever
it takes" to maintain their relationship, their split
reportedly boiled down to trust issues. "After months of questioning things and
fighting, Jennifer felt like she could no longer trust Alex anymore.
Although Jennifer called things off for good, it seems Alex is still hoping they can make it work.
Alex and Jennifer started dating in 2017 and got engaged in 2019 with a stunning $1 million
engagement ring.
Over their four-year relationship, the stars became close with their
significant other's kids. In today's statement, they explicitly said they "wish the
best for each other and one another's children." Jennifer shares 13-year-old twins Emme and Max
Muñiz with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. On the other hand, Alex welcomed daughters Natasha, 16,
and Ella Rodriguez, 12, with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis.
J.Lo and A-Rod seemed pretty perfect together, so it naturally begs the question: Why did they break
up? According to People, the trust had everything to do with it.
“She insisted on it. There are too many unresolved issues,” J.Lo’s friend told
the outlet. “She has been pretty miserable and didn’t think it was in
her best interests to stay with Alex.” This isn’t a total shock considering
that right before the initial breakup rumors swirled, disputed claims of
A-Rod getting close with Southern Charm star Madison
LeCroy surfaced online. Although it’s unclear if Madison was a catalyst for J.Lo and A-Rod’s split,
a People source did add that the breakup was “a long
time coming” when the initial reports hit the web.
“They are tied in their business worlds so it’s not a cut-
and-dried breakup. It’s taken a while for them to even think about untangling it all.”
Amid new rumors that J.Lo and Ben are on the track to getting back together, TMZ reported that J.Lo
and Ben's relationship has "been building since February"
when Ben "started flooding her with emails." And TBH, it sounds like the emails were flirty—
"the tone of the emails wasn't just friendly but more
loving and longing for Jen." In 2002, Jennifer Lopez and
Ben Affleck were one of Hollywood's most admired couples. There has been
a period when the two cannot stay away from each other, but things do not go as they wish and they
have to part painfully. Now that they're back and seeing each other years later,
fans can't help but admire them.
News of the duo's reunion started to stir things up shortly after Jennifer
Lopez broke up with her partner, former baseball star Alex Rodriguez,
some time ago. Shortly after they broke up, she was spotted in
Montana with her ex, Ben Affleck, 17 years after she and the actress broke up.
While the news came as a shock to some,
it felt like a long-awaited dream come true for others. There was also a group of people
who weren't surprised or excited by the news but instead saw it coming.
While J. Lo seems to have quickly moved on from her breakup with Alex Rodriguez, it would be much
more surprising if Jen moved on with someone without a past.
And since Bennifer has a history together, many worried people seem to understand this decision.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were rumored to have re-engaged in 2002,
but things didn't work out back then and the couple eventually
went their separate ways. However, the silver lining here is that they
finally get back together and are now more confident of each other than ever before.
Back in the 2000s, Ben and Jennifer got engaged when they fell in love and even announced their
marriage when things went wrong, and they had to delay
the marriage and then annul it. They were not silent about the reasons for canceling the event,
only explaining a little later. In their statement, "Due to
the extreme media attention surrounding our wedding,
we have decided to postpone the date. When we found ourselves seriously considering hiring
three separate "bait brides" in three different locations, we
realized something was wrong. We began to feel that the spirit
of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised.
We felt that a day that should have been joyous and holy could
be pampered for us and our families. Two people dealing with the same problems, at a
similar life stage, were lucky enough to have each other. And this time both are making
every possible effort to make the relationship work. Ben is doing his
best to spend more time with Jennifer, while Jennifer seems to enjoy her company during
her fitness sessions.
Affleck and Lopez were recently spotted kissing over dinner at a restaurant in Malibu. Their
correspondence stretched back to early February. It turns out that Affleck's
emails were not only friendly but also more affectionate and
enthusiastic towards Jen. The emails were like a love letter to them.
Looking at the photos that captured Ben and Jen together, it's easy to guess that
things are going pretty well for the couple.
Ben is humble at home and happy to be a part of his life in Miami, where they spend
a lot of time relaxing together. The couple was also seen going to the gym together. A source told
Entertainment Tonight that the couple shared a kiss while working together. The source added that
Lopez and Affleck did not try to hide their relationship at the gym.
Except for the days after their debut in their relationship,
Affleck spent the night at Lopez's in Los Angeles and was spotted by the paparazzi
the next morning with a grin on his face as he left. The new
version of dedicated Ben seems to be doing well for Jennifer, too.
You can tell by his eyes that he's crazy about me. She pampers him with
love and is very witty and charming. So how does A-Rod feel about this Bennifer news?
Well, a source told E! News that "A-Rod is shocked that J.Lo has moved on," and that "he truly
thought they would be able to make it work and reconnect.
He has been reaching out to J.Lo trying to meet with her and she
has been very short with him." He's also "saddened" about J.Lo recently
linking up with Ben, and has reached out specifically to tell her "he's
upset." Going by the sequence of events that happened with Alex,
it is quite fair if he feels betrayed and destroyed. Heartbreaks hurt and they hurt
more if your partner moves on quicker than you. At this point,
we can only wish and hope that Alex gets back on track with his life asap.
