Jennifer Lopez, Alex Rodriguez’s last official public outing was at Biden inauguration
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have reportedly ended their engagement after several years together.
The two have been known as one of today’s hottest couples, though a source told People magazine that their split has been "a long time coming."
However, the couple seemed perfectly happy just over two months ago when Lopez brought down the house at Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony.
The "Hustlers" star, 51, performed a mashup of the beloved Woody Guthrie folk song, "This Land Is Your Land," the patriotic anthem "America the Beautiful" and her own hit, "Let’s Get Loud."
By the pop star’s side was her then-fiancé, Rodriguez.
Just a few days after the performance, Rodriguez, the former MLB star, 45, took to Instagram to gush over Lopez.
"I can’t stop thinking about Wednesday and Jen’s performance at #Inauguration2021," he wrote online. "It was such an iconic moment — one I’ll never forget. 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."
He then explained the photo that accompanied the sweet message – a snap of Lopez holding up sheet music while on a plane.
"On the flight home, she showed me her lyrics sheet, and the significance of her performance really began to sink in," Rodriguez continued. "Can you believe she was the first person to sing in Spanish at an inaugural event? Another historic and groundbreaking achievement for one of the most talented and driven people the world has ever seen."

While the high-profile ceremony was their last official public outing, the pair was recently seen together at the Super Bowl last month and in the Dominican Republic, where JLo is filming her latest movie, "Shotgun Wedding."
The baseball star shared a photo of himself and the singer cuddling up outdoors at sunset on Feb. 28.
"¡Perfección en República Dominicana!" read the caption, which translates to "Perfection in the Dominican Republic!"
Lopez shared a similar post featuring photos of herself and her beau enjoying one another's company just the day before.
Her caption was also written in Spanish, translating to: "Happy Dominican Independence Day."
The exact timeline of the breakup was unclear, but People’s source said that because of their business entanglements, "it's taken a while for them to even think about untangling it all."
Additionally, a source told the New York Post's Page Six that lawyers have been working with ARod on their dividing their assets over "the past few days."
