J-Lo and A-Rod Split For Good This Time

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have called it quits, and this time, it's more permanent ... announcing the end of their engagement, and each is going their own way professionally.

In a joint statement to TODAY, the couple announced, "We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support."

The couple's been together for four years, getting engaged in March 2019. They had a wedding planned before COVID hit in early 2020, putting the ceremony on ice.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

This is sad because they had already blended their families. Kids seem to be happy and close.

Perhaps it's for the better. They've been together quite a while, and it's better to know now than after they get married. Whether the kids are attached to them or not, it's better than a break up later on.

This is a dignified way to split. The kids are all old enough to read the headlines, and I'm sure they don't want to make it worse then it is. He is rumored to have cheated. I don't know anyone on the other end of cheating that would say what this statement says. You can bet these two are not friends!

No surprise. Maybe one of them wouldn't sign the prenup! Maybe she didn't want divorce #4. Who knows? Sorry for what these two have put all these kids thru thol
