Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez split as they call off two-year engagement

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have split.

Sources close to the couple revealed they were 'on the rocks' earlier in the week before Page Six broke news of their separation this evening.

The sad news comes two years after Alex popped the question to the Jenny from the Block hitmaker in a romantic beach proposal.

An insider told the US site: "He’s now in Miami getting ready for baseball season, and she’s filming her movie in the Dominican Republic."

A-Rod, 45, shared a picture of himself alone in Miami before the announcement with the caption: "Don’t mind me, just taking a sail-fie… What are your plans for the weekend?"

While Jennifer,51, shared a montage of her past chat show appearances of hers and wrote cryptically in the caption: "Find a good reason to laugh today. Sending love to everyone."

The couple announced their engagement in 2019 after two years of dating.

Their wedding was postponed twice last year with JLo revealing in December: "We had to cancel the wedding … because of COVID, because of the quarantine. And we actually did it twice, which people don’t know."

She added: "I think we just feel like, ‘Let’s just wait it out.’ There’s no rush, we’re good, everything’s cool and it’ll happen when the time is right. I feel like it’s not a huge priority to go and have a big wedding right now, that’s not what life is about."

Jennifer was previously married to singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 12-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Alex popped the question during a vacation in the Bahamas.

The pair broke the news to fans by sharing the same photo showcasing the giant engagement ring on Jennifer's left hand.

The marriage would have been the pop star's fourth and Alex's second.

Jennifer ended her first marriage to Ojani Noa in 1998 after 11 months and her nine-month marriage to dancer Cris Judd ended in 2002.

Actor Ben Affleck then proposed before they split in 2003.

JLo married Marc Anthony in June 2004 with the couple welcoming twins Max and Emme in 2008. They split three years later.

While Alex married Cynthia Scurtis in 2002 and the couple had daughters Natasha and Ella.

Scurtis filed for divorce in 2008 alleging that Rodriguez cheated.

Alex shared a photo of hm cuddled up with the singer alongside the caption 'Missing this girl.'

The couple had been living together for the last of four years as they co-parented their children.
