Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have reportedly ended their two-year engagement.

Page Six was the first to report the news on Friday, citing an anonymous source that said the couple had broken up.

"He's now in Miami getting ready for baseball season, and she's filming her movie in the Dominican Republic," the source told Page Six.

TMZ, E! News, and People later confirmed the news as well.

"This has been a long time coming," a source told People.

Representatives for Lopez and Rodriguez did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The couple was last photographed together in late February visiting the Dominican Republic, where Lopez is filming her upcoming movie "Shotgun Wedding." The 45-year-old former MLB player and the 51-year-old actress both posted the photos on their social media pages.

More recently, Rodriguez has been posting photos alone from Miami. Hours before reports broke about his split, he shared a picture of himself on a yacht.

Earlier in February, speculation arose that "Southern Charm" star Madison LeCroy and Rodriguez were having an affair. The reality star told Page Six that they had never met in person but spoke over the phone. Sources close to Rodriguez denied that the athlete knew LeCroy to the paper.

E! News at the time spoke with a source close to Lopez that said the singer "doesn't let the cheating rumors get to her and chooses not to pay attention."

Lopez later attended the Super Bowl with Rodriguez and celebrated a romantic Valentine's Day with him, showing they were still together weeks after the cheating speculation.

The now-former couple began dating in 2017 and got engaged during a trip to the Bahamas two years later in March 2019. Insider previously reported that the engagement ring is estimated to be worth more than $1 million.

They initially planned on tying the knot in Italy in 2020 but had to cancel their plans twice as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

"We tried twice in 2020. We got bit twice by COVID-19," the athlete said on a January episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

He added, "They say third time's a charm, so let's hope it's what we want to hear."

Also in January, Lopez told Elle that they "haven't really talked about" the wedding since canceling it a second time.

Rodriguez was previously married to Cynthia Scurtis but divorced in 2008 after six years of marriage. They share two daughters: Natasha, 16, and Ella, 12.

Lopez has been married three times before she started dating Rodriguez. She and actor Ojani Noa were married for a year before divorcing in 1998. She then tied the knot with Cris Judd in 2001, parting ways two years later.

In 2004, she married Marc Anthony and had twins Emma and Maximilian, both 13, with him before they divorced in 2014.
