According to them, they are better as friends, “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” the 51-year-old singer said in a joint statement.
The duo announced the breakup just months after denying their four-year relationship, “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects,” Lopez and Rodriguez said.
Last month, the couple denied reports that they had split, saying they were working through some things. Rodriguez and Lopez began dating in early 2017 and announced their engagement in March 2019.
