How many times is the right time till you find the one?
In the latest developments, we’ve just discovered that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have called it quits after being together for several years. The business partners have decided to end their engagement of two years for reasons unknown, but we have some ideas.
The two shared several investments and real estate together, so we do believe that it is going to be an expensive split for the two. Apparently, the two were dating for over four years and got engaged only two years ago.
What could have possibly gone wrong in their four years of companionship? Was it all business and nothing personal? You know how people use relationships as a way to get ahead – don’t know which one did the same in this relationship, but both individuals are financially strong.
Look, it could be all love and sunshine, but how come the two had so many joint investments and business startups despite not being married? Usually, you would want to wait it out and finalize such investments until you’re officially together. Maybe that’s not how Hollywood couples work; they like to keep things fast and speed it out to the top.
But hey, it’s not us who are going to suffer from this grave mistake. This is just another Hollywood breakup that will end in a major business split and capital distribution.
But hey, it’s not going to be a divorce settlement, at least – so that’s comparatively cheaper.
Normal people would just break up and not think about meeting one another until the wounds stop stinging, but this one is all set to last. We have to admit that the last year has been a bit heavy for celebrity couples, as a large number of couples ended their reign of love.
A source close to the couple has said that the break up was a long time coming, but it’s their business endeavors that have made things a bit sticky.
We can tell you that this break up won’t be like ripping off a band aid. Unlike other breaks ups, where you just cut and dry, this one will sting for as long as the business arrangements settle down.
"They are tied in their business worlds so it's not a cut-and-dry breakup. It's taken a while for them to even think about untangling it all." – added the close source.
Last year, the couple tried to buy MLB’s New York Mets, but soon gave up when the negotiations failed to materialize with the partners.
Well, they must be thanking their stars for not buying the Mets together; that would’ve hurt their bank accounts.
The source said that "even though the deal would have seen Alex and Jennifer putting in their own separate investments, it would have been a huge mess to get out of it."
Let’s discuss their business ventures – Lopez (51) and Rodriguez (45), became joint investors of a self-care company, Hims & Hers and collaborated on the fitness app, Fitplan to offer fitness coaching – at least that’s what Page Six reports.
This is not it, because the ex-couple also shares a real estate home together in New York as well as Florida. In August 2020, they also bought a $33 million mansion on Star Island in Miami. Rodriguez has tried to set his hands on the hotel industry last year – he tried to acquire and develop 20 hotels all across North America and the Caribbean.
Due to their financial engagements, they’ve had to seek help from lawyers with their split – it’s almost like a divorce. They needed external help to divide their assets. That’s incredibly Hollywood of them.
Another source has revealed that, "There have been frantic meetings at A.Rod Corp in the past few days about how to divide their assets. Jennifer and Alex were in business together on many business projects and real estate deals."
Apparently, they’re not married, so things are less complicated; but since they have so much wealth accumulated, they had to seek help from the lawyers to divide it equally.
If we go by the reports published last year, JLo has estimated to have a net worth of $400 million – money that she’s earned from acting, singing, hosting, producing, and much more. She is currently in the middle of another shoot called Shotgun Wedding with other cast members like Josh Duhamel, Jennifer Coolidge, D’Arcy Cardin and Lenny Kravitz, etc.
On the other hand, we have Rodriguez who has an estimated wealth of $350 million – something he has accumulated through his career in baseball and sports broadcasting.
We hope the ex-couple finalizes things fairly, but will the Hollywood couple ever have their happy ending?
