Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez started dating in early 2017. The couple has since consistently shared the sweetest parts of their love with their fans on social media. They've also given glimpses of their lives together in interviews—and there's no denying that the connection between them is real and strong, but as in any relationship, there must be ups and downs. So when we heard rumors that they had broken up, we hoped the rumors weren't true but braced ourselves for the possibility that J.Lo and A-Rod might be going their separate ways.
Well, it seems that despite going through some tough times and regardless of what "sources" have been telling the media, Jennifer and Alex are not ready to call it quits. They released a statement saying just that. "We are working through some things," the couple said in a joint statement. Only time will tell if they are able to work through whatever issues they have, but we wish them luck, because they really do seem to complement each other well. And, also, we just want Jennifer to be happy.
As spectators, we thought that Jen found someone who was an ideal match. While she has had relationships with men like Ben Affleck and Marc Anthony in the past, she has said that A-Rod is the one who was made for her. "You're like my twin soul. We're like mirror images of each other. My life is sweeter and better with you in it because you make me realize that every day the sky is not the limit," she said about the former baseball star during her speech at the 2018 Video Music Awards. "The universe is infinite and so is what we can accomplish together with love and trust and understanding." She added: "There's so much more to do, to experience, and there's no one I would rather do it with, baby. You're my macho and I love you."
