After weeks of split rumors, Lopez and Rodriguez confirmed that they ended their engagement and realized that they are better as friends on Thursday, April 15. "We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and each other’s children," they announced on the TODAY show.

Rodriguez popped the question in 2019, and the pair postponed their wedding twice due to the coronavirus pandemic; however, it was ultimately not meant to be.

Rodriguez made headlines earlier this year when he was linked to Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy, but the drama was said not to be the cause of the split. "Whether or not he has cheated doesn't matter," an insider told PEOPLE. "She won't tolerate the fear of it in the air between them."

"They both liked spending more time together as a family, but it was difficult to keep that special spark when they saw each other every day," another insider told the outlet.

A source previously told OK!, "The whole scandal was a huge embarrassment for Jennifer. She is a total control freak when it comes to her image, and cheating rumors are not a good look, even when they are not true."

"You don’t get to be the biggest star in the world without paying close attention to every detail. Alex is surprisingly naïve when it comes to celebrity and fame," the insider explained. "He doesn’t think about how every move he makes will be scrutinized and isn’t as careful as she is when it comes to social media." 

LeCroy said that she never met Rodriguez in person and that all of their conversations were "innocent."
