Do we not? What does it mean for us? And it's just, it comes down to like personal, like, what do you want to do? There's definitely no rush though.’ (Getty Images / Jason Mendez/Invision/AP)

I can’t express how proud I am of her and how privileged I felt just to be in attendance. It truly was awe-inspiring and so patriotic.’ (Getty Images)

The couple reportedly called off their engagement and split in March 2021. Rumors began circulating that Rodriguez’s alleged tryst with Madison LeCroy played a role in the reported split.

Days after the report, JLo and A-Rod were spotted kissing in the Dominican Republic, while sources note that they are ‘still engaged’ and are feeling ‘happier’ than ever. (Getty Images)
