Overview
- Ferrer announced the split on Wednesday, Sept. 16 in an Instagram story saying she and José (J Balvin) had “decided to take separate paths.”
- Her message described the decision as made from “love” and “respect,” asked for privacy, and said both parents are handling the process calmly to protect their five‑year‑old son, Río.
- As of the latest reports, J Balvin has not issued an independent public statement and his team had not commented to outlets covering the announcement.
- The announcement followed days of social‑media speculation about fewer joint posts and certain uploads by Ferrer, which prompted fans and outlets to flag a possible crisis before she confirmed the split.
- Unverified claims by influencer Melanie Pavola that resurfaced after the announcement have not been corroborated by either Ferrer or Balvin and remain reported but unconfirmed.
