While beaming Jennifer was getting snap happy, just six days previously, she announced the end of her two-year engagement to Fox Sports commentator Alex Rodriguez, with whom she was last pictured on March 26.
The former power couple said in a statement to TODAY on April 15: ‘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.’
While persisting in trying to convince the public the split was fictitious, Alex came and joined Jennifer on-set in the Dominican Republic last month where they put on various displays of affection shortly before finally revealing they had split.
