Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro confirmed through his Instagram page that his relationship with Spanish singer Rosalia has indeed ended.
There had been unsubstantiated rumors that Rauw Alejandro had cheated on Rosalia circulating in Spanish-language media, but the Puerto Rican star insisted that was the not the case.
“It is true that Rosi and I have ended our relationship,” wrote Rauw Alejandro on social media. “There are thousands of reasons that could have caused a breakup but in our case it was not because of a third person coming between us or because of infidelity.”
“During this time that I am taking off to come to terms with this situation, there have been erroneous reports of infidelity so because of the respect I have for her, and for our families and for everyone involved I cannot stay quiet and watch how they try to destroy the greatest love I’ve ever experienced in my life.”
News of the breakup of the two-year relationship between two of the biggest stars in Latin music broke earlier this week.
According to People magazine and People en Español, the couple ended their relationship “despite the love and respect the singers have for one another.”
In the announcement of the breakup it was also highlighted that “both sides mutually agreed to part ways.”
The news surprised the fans of both artists given that the couple had recently professed their love and had worked on several projects over the last several months. They officially announced their engagement to marry last March through a music video for the song “Besos,” in which they showed off a large diamond ring on Rosalia’s hand. They had already been dating for over a year at the time of their engagement.
The couple has not made any public comments on the breakup and the only communication from them has come from “sources” within both camps.

Rosalia and Rauw Alejandro had solidified their partnership over the last several months as the couple traveled to Japan, where the Spanish singer had recorded several of her music videos. Rauw Alejandro also joined Rosalia on stage at her recent performance at the Coachella Music Festival in April. The duo sang their hits “Vampiro’ and ‘Besos.”
The couple also sat for a lengthy interview in GQ España where they talked about the growth in their professional and personal relationships and even took part in a fun social video called “Test de amor” for the magazine.
The two stars made their relationship known to the public in September 2021 after rumors had circulated for months that they were an item. The announcement was made on Rosalia’s birthday.
