The news regarding the split of Jennifer Lopez and former MLB star Alex Rodriguez spread like wildfire on social media. Apparently, the celebrity couple is still together and both personalities are trying to work on the rough patches that recently rocked their relationship.

“We are working through some things,” they said in a joint statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“They never officially broke up and talked about it but are still together. They hit a rough patch. But were not broken up,” a source close to the pair tells PEOPLE. The source added that the speculation that arose last month that Rodriguez had had an affair after Southern Charm‘s Madison LeCroy “had no bearing on the rough patch at all. “

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic along with their long-distance relationship proved to be a hurdle for the couple amid these times.

“Jennifer Lopez is working in the Dominican Republic and he's in Miami so it's tough seeing each other especially with quarantining and COVID,” the source adds of Lopez and Rodriguez, “but they want to try to stay together.”

Nonetheless, it was further clarified to the public that there was no third party involved in the situation. According to a source by People, Rodriguez and LeCroy never even knew each other personally.

A separate insider says, “This was not caused by a third party. Madison [LeCroy] or anyone else. They are working through things.”

The celebrity couple previously dated for two years before they got engaged in the Bahamas back in March of 2019. Jennifer Lopez also spent time with Rodriguez over the past year together with her twins Maximillian David and Emme Maribel from her former partner in Marc Anthony.

Rodriguez brought along his daughters with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis, Ella and Natasha, to spend time with Lopez and her side of the family. Moreover, the couple also claimed that their wedding was already postponed twice due to COVID-19. On that note, it seemed like they are both raring to complete their wedding sometime in the future which would potentially debunk all the speculations spreading around.

As it turned out, the rumor regarding their break up was illegitimate and the public can expect to see both personalities back together again in the near future.
