J.Lo was reportedly wracked by trust issues with her fiancé Rodriguez before she decided to end their relationship for good. 

The 51-year-old actress was ‘miserable’ in the final days of their relationship and ‘didn’t think it was in her best interests to stay with Alex,’ People quoted a friend of hers on Wednesday.

Now the star wants to find a man she can trust, according to a Thursday report from UsWeekly.

‘J.Lo was always aware of the rumors of him cheating or him messaging other girls. You can say that for sure [that] played a part in why the engagement ended,’ the source said, referring to his alleged exchange with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy, 30.

‘She wants someone who’s fully invested in her and someone she can trust when her partner is not around.’

He is there for her through it all: 'Having him around while she has had to work abroad has been very comforting,' added the source; the two on stage in 2007

According to Jennifer’s friend, she was in the driver’s seat when it came to ending the relationship, which they officially announced on April 15.

‘She insisted on it. There are are too many issues that are unresolved,’ they said.

Although Alex, 45, flew to the Dominican Republic — where she is filming the comedy Shotgun Wedding — to try to repair the fissures in their relationship, he couldn’t over her lack of ‘trust.’

‘She has been pretty miserable,’ her friend continued, ‘and didn’t think it was in her best interests to stay with Alex.’

The high-profile couple made a splash when they appeared together at the inauguration, but their loved-up demeanor belied problems that popped up after months of living in close proximity during the pandemic.

‘They both liked spending more time together as a family, but it was difficult to keep that special spark when they saw each other every day,’ another source said of the two.

It didn’t help that the Hustlers star was away in the Dominican Republic on her film set once rumors of A-Rod potential infidelities began to surface.

Although the cheating rumors were not the reason for the breakup, ‘whether or not he has cheated doesn’t matter,’ said an insider connected to Jennifer’s music career. ‘She won’t tolerate the fear of it in the air between them.’

Blended family: The split has also been difficult for their children, who had been living together at various points with the couple

The split has also been difficult for their children, who had been living together at various points with the couple.

Jennifer shares twins Emme and Max, 13, with her Anthony, while Alex has daughters Natasha, 16, and Ella, 13, with his ex Cynthia Scurtis.

‘They’re especially sad for the kids since they are all so close,’ Jennifer’s friend added. ‘It’s not a good situation but inevitable.’

Staying positive: 'Jennifer has been in these difficult situations before. She is not one to sit around and cry,' her friend continued. 'Her kids make her the happiest. She is doing well'; seen in 2020 in Miami

Despite the difficulty of shaking up her personal life, the If You Had My Love singer is staying positive.

‘Jennifer has been in these difficult situations before. She is not one to sit around and cry,’ her friend continued. ‘Her kids make her the happiest. She is doing well.’ 

Meanwhile, a Miami-based source familiar with the former couple says that Jennifer and Alex ‘will try to be friends’ and still have ‘respect’ for each other.
