Don't Expect J.Lo and A-Rod to Elope Anytime Soon
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez's wedding plans have been derailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that doesn't mean the two are eloping instead.
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lopez clarified fan rumors claiming that she and her fiancé were planning a rushed elopement after hopes for an Italian destination wedding this year have all but been dashed. Lopez shut down the chatter, however, saying that she understands the speculation, since she has so many wedding-themed projects in the works, but that her upcoming films, Shotgun Wedding and Marry Me, are totally unrelated to her own engagement.
"It's funny because life does reflect into things you are doing at times. But it's just kind of a coincidence because when I did 'El Anillo,' the song in Spanish, which is, 'When are you going to give me a ring?,' I was not really trying to send a message. It was just a song that we wrote that we liked and with Marry Me, it was something we were developing for, I would say, seven years," Lopez told ET.
"All of that stuff and it was happening now where Alex and I are engaged and about to get married at some point," she continued. "It just happens that way. It's a funny thing, life and art, they kind of intersect."
The couple "indefinitely" postponed their summer nuptials back in May, as the coronavirus pandemic showed no signs of ending. "With no return to normalcy in the near future, the couple felt postponing the wedding was the safest and smartest choice," a source told E! News at the time. "Guests have recently been notified that the wedding will not be happening in late summer as anticipated."
Lopez shared her disappointment with the canceled nuptials during an interview with the Today show over the summer, but said that she ultimately knows the ceremony will take place when the time is right. "I'm a little heartbroken because we did have some great plans. But I'm also like, 'You know what? God has a bigger plan," said Lopez. "So we just have to wait and see. Maybe it's going to be better. I have to believe that it will be."
