Here's Why Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro Broke Up
The singer broke down performing “Hentai” at Lollapalooza.
UPDATE (JULY 27, 2023): Rauw Alejandro releases a statement denouncing cheating rumors via Instagram.
During all these years you have been part of my professional achievements, as well as of all the happy moments I have lived as a couple. I never saw myself in the position of even thinking that I would have to make public statements on this matter, so private to me.Yes, a few months ago, Rosi and I ended our engagement. There are thousands of problems that can cause a breakup, but in our case it was not because of third parties or infidelity. During this time that I am taking to assimilate all this, erroneous public allegations have arisen, and because of the respect that I have for her, for our families and for everything that we lived, I could not remain silent and continue to see how they try to destroy the most real story of love that God has allowed me to live.With nothing more to add, to my fans I love you very much, thank you for being there.
Five days into Venus Retrograde, celebrity couple Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro have allegedly split. According to a former Billboard interview, the pair are “polar opposites in regards to their music and professional approach,” which may have caused them to fall out of love.
On a messier note, rumors have begun to circulate that Rauw cheated on Rosalía with influencer Valeria Duqueh. The same day the news broke, the Spanish singer broke down during her performance of “Hentai” at Lollapalooza. Despite the NSFW title, the breathy single is about transformation shared the artist in a former interview.
“If you notice, the lyrics revolve around the same concept: transformation,” she previously said in a statement about “SAOKO.” “Each and every phrase is an image of transformation. Celebrating transformation, celebrating change. Celebrating that you are always yourself even though you are in constant transformation or even that you are you more than ever at the very moment you are changing.”
Just a few days before the announcement, Rosalía posted a photo of herself crying in an Instagram dump, with the caption referencing Motomamí. Unfortunately, the split also follows the March 2023 release of their EP RR which admittedly stamped the couple as quote-on-quote goals for creative couples worldwide.
For the baes that aren’t astrology enthusiasts, Venus Retrograde is a “trigger for self-reflection, prompting us to reconsider our needs and desires when it comes to intimacy,” astrologer Iva Naskova told Hypebae. This means ‘disruption and breakups in relationships that were already damaged and headed that way,” she continued.
Unfortunately, according to the stars, this split may be permanent…
