Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez had their relationship under a microscope ever since the world-famous singer and the former baseball slugger first started dating in 2017. They announced their engagement in March 2019, had their 2020 wedding postponed due to COVID-19, and on April 15, 2021, the pair revealed in a joint statement that they officially called it quits. "We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support," they said to TODAY.
Avril Lavigne said "see you l8er boi" once more, this time to her fiancé of nearly a year, musician Mod Sun. The Canadian singer called off their engagement, which began in March 2022, after being "on and off" for the past few months trying to work things out, reports TMZ. It's unclear what led to the split.
The news, however, came on the heels of photos of Lavigne's romance with Tyga, whom she has been friends with for a while. It all came a surprise to Mod Sun, however, as his rep told TMZ after news of their split, "They were together and engaged as of 3 days ago when he left for tour so if anything has changed that's news to him."
Engaged in 1986, but broken up by 1987.

He added, "We’re both looking forward to spending the second half of our lives together."
Well, just weeks after making the announcement, the pair called off their engagement, Vanity Fair reported on April 4, ending "a whirlwind romance that generated headlines around the world.” It remains unclear what happened, and a spokesperson for Murdoch has reportedly declined to comment.
