After four years as a couple, a romantic beach proposal and a first date that included a text that said, ‘You look sexy AF,’ Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have called it quits.
As first reported by Page Six and then confirmed by every other entertainment website, the couple have split and called off their two-year engagement. The duo were supposed to get married earlier in 2020, but COIVD ruined those plans.
The couple was last seen together at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, where ARod was doing the supportive boyfriend thing he’s become famous for. Two weeks ago, Lopez posted a photo of them looking particularly close on her Instagram.

ARod, for his part, posted a solo selfie on Instagram, with this horrible dad joke.

As much as I want to cherry pick through the remains of this relationship and figure out just what wrong, it looks like the wound is still pretty fresh. There are, of course, rumors about what went down, but I’ll let you Google those for yourselves. (hint: It involves a Bravo reality star)
In the meantime, it sucks that two people who have been through a tremendous amount in their personal and professional lives couldn’t make it work. Rather than cast individual blame and BOY I BET THERE IS BLAME, I’m going to try to be nice for once in my life and say that it’s probably really hard for two high profile people with high profile careers and a ton of baggage to make it work.
This is a bummer for them, but I think the lesson we can all learn is you shouldn’t wear a World Series ring to pop the question. Sorry, that thing is bad luck now.
