POWER couple Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are fighting to save their four-year relationship after being rocked by cheating allegations.
The A-listers were said to have been arguing since reports broke last month linking US reality star Madison LeCroy to secret FaceTime sessions and texts with A-Rod.
After stories broke across the Pond on Friday, claiming they had called off their two-year engagement, the couple defiantly released a joint statement to celebrity website TMZ, saying: “All reports are inaccurate.”
But singer and actress J-Lo and former baseball player Alex admitted to bumps in the road, adding: “We are working through some things.”
A month on from Kim Kardashian filing for divorce from Kanye West, we thought another high-profile celebrity romance had bitten the dust, particularly as they had postponed their wedding for a second time, blaming the pandemic.
‘Tension over pre-nup’
Things allegedly blew up this week in the Dominican Republic, where J-Lo is filming her new movie Shotgun Wedding.
A source told us: “Jen and Alex have been arguing about the rumours he has been messaging other women.
“There has been tension over their pre-nup, which Alex did not want to sign after J-Lo insisted her lawyers include a cheating clause.”
Shortly before he proposed to Jennifer, Playboy model Zoe Gregory told The Sun on Sunday that Alex had been sending her raunchy messages and pictures.
She said: “J-Lo is amazing and doesn’t deserve this.
“While getting ready to marry her, he was asking me for sex videos, demanding we hook up and asking me to make arrangements with other girls.”
Former Yankees player Jose Canseco also accused Alex in a furious Twitter rant of cheating on Jen with his ex-wife Jessica, which she denied.
The path to true love has been a rocky one for Jennifer, who will be a wife for the fourth time if she and Alex ever make it down the aisle after four years of dating.
She was first married to restaurant manager Ojani Noa in 1997, divorcing him a year later. She married choreographer Cris Judd in 2011 and they split in 2013.
After a high-profile relationship in 1999 with P Diddy fell apart, Jen started dating Ben Affleck in 2002 after meeting on the set of their panned movie Gigli. Despite getting engaged, they split the next year. It finally seemed like Jen had found true love, with old friend Marc Anthony, when she married the singer in 2004.
But after a decade — and having twins Max and Emme together in 2008 — that romance also ended.
The two are still on good terms and Marc is said to be supporting Jen while the twins stay with him.
Jen, whose Vegas residency has been put on hold due to Covid, has also been linked to rapper Drake and actor Bradley Cooper — and she dated her backing dancer Casper Smart, who is 18 years her junior.
A-Rod has a full dance card of previous high-profile romances himself, having hooked up with Madonna, Kate Hudson, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz.
He has daughters Natasha and Ella with psychologist ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis.
Time will tell if J-Lo and A-Rod manage to work things out.
Michael's bin great
CATHERINE ZETA JONES says husband Michael Douglas romances her . . . by taking the bins out.
The Hollywood heavyweight clearly knows actions speak louder than words, as he does his bit around the house.
Catherine said: “I like it when Michael makes the bed every morning, and pulls the duvet back, I love it when he takes the trash out and cleans the rubbish. I like that kind of stuff – it’s the little things.”
Speaking on US show Watch What Happens Live, Welsh-born Catherine did have one complaint.
She said: “Michael has a thing about not closing doors – the bathroom cabinet door, the kitchen counter door . . . all of them.”
Rita no-show such a drag
FANS of RUPAUL’S Drag Race UK were left baffled last week when the coveted role of celebrity guest judge was taken by a . . . mannequin.
While the bearded figure was a surprise hit with viewers, we can reveal the show’s coveted spot was supposed to be taken by Rita Ora – but she failed to turn up.
The singer was booked to appear on the show, which was filmed last November, but she left producers high and dry after there was a disagreement about her entourage.
The incident was disappointing as Rita had been popular, as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars in the US in 2018.
A source said: “Everyone on set was anticipating Rita’s arrival but, when she didn’t show up, producers had to use their heads and came up with the idea of decorating a mannequin.
“Surprisingly, it worked out OK and became a running joke.”
Binky's thinking pink
BINKY FELSTEAD hopes her daughter India, who is three, dresses up her new baby brother in girls’ clothes when the tot arrives this summer.
As she gears up to become a mother for the second time, Binky has invested in the UK’s newest talent management agency, Matchstick Group, which launched this month.
And the former Made In Chelsea favourite wants her kids to know men and women are equal.
She told us: “Growing up is tough enough, whatever they want to be.
“I’m sure this one’s going to be playing with India’s toys. India’s going to get him dressed up, put make-up on him – and
Keeping up with Krouch
KEEPING Up With The Kardashians may have finished for the time being, but there could soon be a new showbiz reality family.
We can reveal that former footballer Peter Crouch and his model wife Abbey Clancy are in the early stage of developing their own series, potentially destined for ITV.
Peter has already been a telly and podcasting hit since he retired from footie, while fashionista Abbey has a huge fan base. Cameras would follow the couple, who have four kids, as they go about their personal and professional life.
A source revealed: “Abbey and Peter are seriously considering the project, as they think it could be fun and help their brand. Producers know that they are TV gold and it would be a huge hit with viewers.
“They might be super-wealthy, but they’re also really relatable.”
We would definitely tune in.
Gay wedding first
MARRIED At First Sight Australia has been a runaway success with Brits stuck at home in lockdown.
Now the UK version has vowed to up its game by introducing its first same-sex marriage into the show.
Two men are set to wed in the upcoming E4 series, which starts shooting next month. Other changes will see eight married couples living under one roof, dinner parties – where drama goes down – and more episodes.
A telly source said: “The introduction of a gay couple is a positive move. Producers are planning more of a Love Island vibe. They want more tension and temptation between the couples.
“After living together, the couples will go back to each other’s home towns to spend time with their friends and family.”
It sounds like addictive viewing.
Coldplay pushing boundaries
COLDPLAY have always pushed the boundaries musically and their upcoming record does too.
For their ninth studio album, they recorded tracks in the ballroom of swanky London hotel Claridge’s.
Chris Martin and Co laid down some Covid-secure sounds there to capture its distinctive acoustics.
A source said: “The lads thought it was a great idea to record some deep sounds within the ballroom, because the high ceilings make everything sound magical and historic.”
We’d expect nothing less from a genius like Chris.
Mentor Olly
OLLY MURS has vowed to keep supporting The Voice’s reigning champ Blessing Annatoria, despite his coaching duties being over.
The show’s youngest ever winner returns for the final next Saturday – her 19th birthday – to perform debut single I Smile.
Blessing told us: “Olly gave me his number and said, ‘If you ever need me, I’m here’. He did stay in touch, which I’m really glad about.”
Tim Swede Dream
PETITE Mabel proved a big hit with Tim Chadwick when he supported her at a recent gig.
Irish newcomer Tim, at 6ft 1in, towered over 5ft 3in British-Swedish pop sensation Mabel, and reveals: “I was nervous but she was lovely, so it was a real moment when I met her.”
After suffering a break-up pre-pandemic, he has put his heart into EP Timothy, a delicate and groove-laden collection of indie pop that pulls on the heartstrings.

He says: “I had a lot of work to do to love myself.”
Meanwhile, Tim hopes to make moustaches cool again, as legend Freddie Mercury did during the Seventies.
He says: “Mine is a homage to my dad, who had one almost all his life.”
