The birthday tributes come after a week following the pair’s announcement that they were going their separate ways. Lopez and the retired MLB star released an exclusive joint statement announcing their breakup on April 15.
They called off their two-year engagement after being together for four years since 2017.
THE BREAKUP
Rodriguez and Jo Lo, the triple threat, highlighted that they would continue to be business partners on their shared projects and businesses writing:
"We wish the best for each other, and one another's children."
Reports of their breakup first circulated in March, but at the time, sources close to the pair revealed they had not officially broken up and were still together.
Ahead of their official statement, Rodriguez sent out a hint that there was already trouble in paradise just hours before their announcement.
The philanthropist shared an emotional video on his Instagram Story, which showed images and memories with the dancer throughout their relationship, set to Coldplay's famous love ballad "Fix You."
