Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez Have Called it Quits

Love is dead.  It's official, Jennifer Lopez and have called it quits.  The couple announced their decision to end their relationship, but plan to remain friends.

This comes after the two denied rumors that they had split about a month ago.

From E! News:

On April 15, the singer and the New York Yankees alum confirmed they've called off their engagement in a statement to E! News.

"We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so," the two said. "We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects."

Lopez, who shares 13-year-old twins Emme and Max Muñiz with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Rodriguez—who shares daughters Natasha, 16, and Ella Rodriguez, 12, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis—added they "wish the best for each other and one another's children."

"Out of respect for them," they continued, "the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support."

I wouldn't be surprised if A-Rod buying the Timberwolves was the straw that broke the relationship's back.  J-Lo doesn't strike me as a Minnesota gal.
