It would be recalled that reports of their breakup first made the headlines in March amid cheating rumours.
However, the couple issued a joint statement through Rodriguez’s representative Ron Berkowitz on Saturday, saying “all the reports are inaccurate. We are working through some things”.
Also, according to NBC, multiple sources close to the couple said;
They never officially broke up and had talked about it but are still together. They hit a rough patch that made them think about what they should do. They are sticking together, they are working through things.
The sources added that it was tough for the couple to see each other amid COVID-19 restrictions while Lopez, 51, was working in the Dominican Republic and Rodriguez, 45, was in Miami.
However, breakup rumors swirled again earlier this week when Lopez shared a series of selfies from the set of her new movie, “Shotgun Wedding,” and her engagement ring was missing from the photos.
