Overview
- Ferrer confirmed the separation on Wednesday via an Instagram story saying she and José (J Balvin) had “decided to take separate paths.”
- She described the decision as mutual, written “from the love, the respect” and said the couple will continue to center care for their five-year-old son Río.
- The announcement followed days of social-media speculation triggered by Ferrer’s recent posts, a TikTok that followers read as a breakup cue, and the lack of recent joint content.
- As of the latest reports, J Balvin has not issued a public response and news coverage is focused on Ferrer’s statement and how the pair will manage co-parenting privately.
- The relationship began after they met on a 2017 video shoot, grew public in 2018, survived a prior 2020 separation and reconciliation, and produced their son Río in June 2021, a history that frames why both are emphasizing family continuity now.
