Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in mid-April 2021, starting with this former couple… On April 21, People magazine reported that, according to a source, Jennifer Lopez “insisted on” ending her relationship with Alex Rodriguez because there were “too many issues that are unresolved” between them. “She has been pretty miserable and didn’t think it was in her best interests to stay with Alex,” said the source, adding that the singer-actress felt she could no longer fully “trust” the former professional athlete in the wake of his recent cheating scandal. A second source said of the rumors Alex was unfaithful, “Whether or not he has cheated doesn’t matter. She won’t tolerate the fear of it in the air between them.” A third source added that the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated issues between the pair and that it became “difficult to keep that special spark when they saw each other every day.” The first source also described the split as “inevitable,” noting that “it’s not a good situation” and that J.Lo and A-Rod are “especially sad” for their kids because “they are all so close.” (They each have two children from previous relationships.) Still, Jennifer is said to be “doing well” amid the breakup. “[She] has been in these difficult situations before. She is not one to sit around and cry,” said the first source. The superstar is reportedly leaning on ex-husband Marc Anthony in the wake of her split from A-Rod: “Jennifer and Marc have a great relationship. Having him around while she has had to work abroad has been very comforting,” said the insider. (Jennifer has been shooting “Shotgun Wedding” in the Dominican Republic.)

On April 21 — after years of trying to make their marriage work following a 2016 cheating scandal — Jana Kramer announced that she and Mike Caussin are finally going their separate ways. According to a People magazine source, the former professional football player “cheated and broke her trust again.” Said the insider, “After fighting for the marriage for so long, she’s come to terms with the realization that his patterns were never going to change.” Echoed an E! News source, “Mike broke her trust yet again. He had so many chances to make this right and she tried and tried, but she was really left with no choice.” The “One Tree Hill” alum broke the news in a lengthy Instagram post, writing, “‘It’s time.’ As I try to make sense of a reality I never wanted to believe could be possible again, those words have now become a reality. I’ve fought y’all. I’ve loved hard. I’ve forgiven. I’ve put the work in. I’ve given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give. ‘It’s time.’ Please know that I still believe wholeheartedly in marriage, love, and rebuilding. I just can’t fight any longer. It’s time to heal. Thank you for all the love, heart, and support, in many ways you have fought on this journey alongside me, and for that I am grateful. I’ll always encourage you to continue the good fight, but you can’t fight it alone.” Jana and Mike briefly split in 2016 when his infidelity and issues with sex addiction first came to light. They reconciled the following year and went on to chronicle the ups and downs in their relationship on their “Whine Down” podcast and in their book “The Good Fight: Wanting to Leave, Choosing to Stay, and the Powerful Practice for Loving Faithfully” … which debuted less than a year ago. The joint memoir centers around Jana’s decision to stay with Mike in spite of his past infidelity. Multiple media outlets report that the singer-actress, who shares two children with the former professional athlete, has filed for divorce.
