Early last month, sources close to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez had speculated that the fan-favorite couple was calling it quits and walking away from both their four-year relationship and two-year engagement. At the time, a reason for their split had not been revealed, and neither J-Lo nor A-Rod had publicly commented on the allegedly dour status of their relationship.
A few days later, the two quelled the breakup rumors through Instagram posts and interviews with TMZ, leading many to believe that they were still together. As time progressed, however, J-Lo was spotted vibing out to Drake music in the Dominican Republic without A-Rod's company, and she was also seen not wearing her engagement ring, leading many to believe that there may still be trouble in paradise for Jennifer and Alex. Now, TMZ reports that fans may have been right to speculate.
