The Hollywood power couple, who began dating in 2017, had left fans stunned Friday after it was announced they had called off their two-year engagement.
Their alleged split was widely reported by multiple news outlets citing close sources who said the couple had called it quits after the relationship had been on the rocks for some time.
Reports also claimed Rodriguez’s alleged relationship with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy, 30, was the reason behind the break up.

The MLB star appeared to be in good spirits and seemed to be happy to confirm he was still off the marker
Rodriguez’s links to reality star first came to light during a Southern Charm reunion in January when LeCroy was accused of having been in contact with a ‘married’ and ex-MLB player in Miami whose name had been bleeped out.
She later admitted in an interview she had been communicating with Rodriguez but insisted their exchanges were ‘innocent.’ Reps for Rodriguez claimed the pair had never even met.
In the wake of the news Friday, LeCroy’s co-star Shep Rose claimed LeCroy had signed a non-disclosure agreement, suggesting some damage control may have been done following their alleged communication.
‘I know that there was, like, an NDA signed, which doesn’t seem to mean anything anymore, not worth the price of the paper they’re printed on,’ Rose told UsWeekly .
‘It’s crazy and, you know, mixed emotions about it because I think our show started as fairly normal, humble people … your average small-town, Southern people.

‘They haven’t seen each other since then. There have been issues in their relationship for a while now,’ an insider told People.
‘They are tied in their business worlds so it’s not a cut and dry break up. It’s taken a while for them to even think about untangling it all.’
