Shortly after, Rauw confirmed the breakup and dispelled the cheating allegations circulating online at the time. “During all these years, you have been part of my professional achievements, as well as all the happy moments I have lived through as a couple. I never saw myself in the position of even thinking that I would have to make a public statement about this very private matter for me,” he wrote online. Rosalía also shared a statement expressing her admiration for Rauw and stating that “this moment is not easy.”
