Combs has been the subject of rumors for weeks as Combs went on trial for gun possession and bribery in New York City stemming from a 1999 nightclub brawl in which three people were shot. He faces 15 years in prison if convicted of the gun charge. Lopez, who was with Combs the night of the altercation, was not charged.
Combs refused to comments when he left the New York court Wednesday (February 14).
While he is in court, Lopez has been on the road promoting her new top-selling album, "J.Lo," and her new hit film "The Wedding Planner," the number one movie in the country until last weekend's opening of "Hannibal."
"Mr Combs confirmed that he and his love Jennifer Lopez have in fact broken up. Mr Combs is confirming this today as he wanted to put all the rumors surrounding their relationship to rest. At this difficult time we ask that you respect his privacy," Comb's spokeswoman Nathalie Moar said.
Lopez's spokesman Alan Nierob said he could not confirm or deny that the romance was over although he noted the source of the information. "Puffy Combs put out a statement confirming the demise of their relationship. I don't know anything about it. It's been read to me." - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
