Rauw Alejandro and Rosalía announced their split after three years of dating but the Puerto Rican denies any claims of infidelity.
Spanish singer Rosalía and her beau of three years, Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro, officially split. The two announced they are going their separate ways but the split doesn’t seem to be so civil.
While the media claims Rosalía is heartbroken, it all seems to stem from infidelity. But what really happened?
Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro’s history
Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro first sparked romance rumors in the summer of 2021. Paparazzi caught them hanging out and holding hands in Los Angeles, California. But eagle-eyed fans had noticed the two attended the same event and even shared clothes.
The two officially confirmed their relationship on September 24, as they became Instagram official. One day later, she marked her 29th birthday with a series of pictures that also included Alejandro. Their red carpet debut at the Los40 Music Awards in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in November the same year.
Less than a year later, Rosalía got a tattoo in honor of her boyfriend. She got an “RR” tattoo on her foot. She opened up about it during the Spanish talk show El Hormiguero, and when the interviewer asked if it was the Rolls Royce logo, Rosalía responded, “Or it could be something else.” Rosalía also added, “It hurt a lot because I got it done without any sort of numbing,” she recalled. “I told [him], ‘I’m going to get your initial tatted because it’s also mine.’ ” Not long after, he also got a tattoo of her name above his navel.
The couple, who was very open about their relationship both in interviews, music, and social media, got engaged in March 2023. They announced it their joint EP, RR, dropped, which consist of three songs — “Beso,” “Vampiros” and “Promesa.”
On July 25, news broke out that the two officially broke up.
Rauw Alejandro Confirms Split
The singer hopped on social media to address the split and the infidelity rumors. In the lengthy letter to his fans, he added that that he “never” thought he would be in a position to have to provide “public statements over something so private” for him.
“Yes, a few months ago Rosi and I ended our engagement,” the “LOKERA” singer, 30, wrote. “There are thousands of problems that can cause a break, but in our case it was not the fault of third parties or infidelity. During this space that I am taking to absorb all of this, erroneous public allegations have emerged.“

Following the news, fans have accused Colombian model Valeria Duque of being the reason of their split. She also hopped online to deny the rumors with a lengthy message on her Instagram Stories.
“I was silent yesterday because I think that silence is also an answer, and the wisest one against unfair and false accusations,” she started her message. She added that, “I was never involved in a situation like this. Everything that they’re saying about me is false. I don’t have any relationship with the person they’re linking me with, I’m a victim of these claims.“
However, some media outlets don’t fully believe Alejandro. For example, they barely announced their engagement four months ago. Did they break up shortly after? The two performed at Coachella in April, and they were still going strong.
In May, Rosalía posted a video impersonating Rauw Alejandro, suggesting they were still engaged. He also had his own version of the video in June. The same month, Rosalía talked about how in love she was and opened up about wedding plans. So, the split allegedly hadn’t happened.
However, one thing is for sure now: it’s definitely over now.
