Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s Wedding: Everything We Know So Far

Jennifer Lopez knows how to throw a party. Whether it’s a spellbinding Super Bowl halftime show, a surprise party for fiancé Alex Rodriguez, a Fourth of July bash, or her own 50th-birthday extravaganza, Jenny From the Block has it covered. Of course, Rodriguez is no stranger to a good time, either. So we can only begin to imagine what their wedding is going to look like. Here’s everything we know about the big event so far.

It was supposed to go down in 2020. Rodriguez proposed to Lopez in March 2019 while the couple was on vacation.

But plans have changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. “It did affect it a little bit,” Lopez told Ellen DeGeneres of how the quarantine has changed their plans. “So we’ll see what happens now…. I really don’t know what’s gonna happen now as far as dates or anything like that."

“We are just kind of in a holding pattern like the rest of the world,” she continued. “So, again, it’s just something we have to wait and see in a few months how this all pans out.”

On April 23, Rodriguez gave a wedding update during an appearance (via video) on The Tonight Show. “We have to go with the flow now,” he told Jimmy Fallon. “Everything is fluid, everything’s on just a pause. Obviously this is an unprecedented time, and for us, we just want to make sure that we think safety first and make sure that all the little ones are in a good place.”

He then joked about having a drive-through ceremony, similar to the birthday celebration they had for his daughter, Ella. “What was great is we had a drive-through party,” he said. “And then some people said maybe we have a drive-through wedding. It will be cheaper!” Honestly, that would be a true moment in celebrity wedding history—and we’d love to see it.

The “intimate” wedding will probably be far, far away. According to a source for People, the couple “are not doing a huge wedding.” Instead, the event will reportedly be “a small family celebration that will, of course, include all four kids.”

Except...it doesn’t seem anyone told that to Rodriguez, who said “The more, the merrier” when he appeared on GMA 3: Strahan, Sara, and Keke. Apparently, even the exes may be invited. “I would say exes [are] invited to the wedding. All inclusive,” he told the hosts.

Rodriguez also couldn’t help but tease the location on the show. “I got one clue for y’all. One wedding clue. It’s gonna be a long flight,” he said.

But it will still be a church wedding. In a YouTube video, the pop star-actor-queen of everything explained that she wanted to be married in a church this time. “I’ve never been married in a church,” she said. Lopez has walked down the aisle three times, while Rodriguez is preparing for his second time as a groom. J.Lo was notably married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, Chris Judd from 2001 to 2003, and Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998. A-Rod’s marriage to Cynthia Scurtis lasted from 2002 to 2008.

Don’t expect a giant ball gown, though... Back in October 2019, Lopez was spotted wearing the most extravagant wedding dress...but it wasn’t for her own nuptials. She was actually shooting for her new film, Marry Me.

“I know I don’t want one as big as I’m wearing in the movie,” she told Extra TV when asked about her own dress. “That one is a lot to carry around. Too big. But amazing and I’m so lucky I got to wear it.”

Lopez is “heartbroken” the plans have been put on pause. As of May 2020, the couple's nuptials are still in limbo. "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 and we just have to wait and see," she told Today. "Maybe it’s going to be better? I have to believe that it will be."

Lopez added that "nobody knows" what the wedding plans are at the moment. “There’s no planning right now,” she said. “You just have to kind of wait and see how this all plays out. You know, it’s disappointing on one level.... After the Super Bowl and after World of Dance, after we finished filming it, I planned to take time off, which is what we’re doing right now. But at the same time, we had a lot of plans for this summer, and this year but everything is kind of on hold right now."

There is actually “no rush” to reschedule. Lopez revealed she and Rodriguez are not back in planning mode yet—and they're fine with it.

“You know we’ve talked about so many different things cause we had to cancel the wedding last year because of COVID, because of the quarantine, and we actually did it twice, which people don’t know, where we had it in different times—first one canceled and then second one canceled as well—and so I don’t know,” she told Access Hollywood. “We kind of have let it go for a second.”

“I think we just feel like, ‘Let’s just wait it out.’ There’s no rush. We’re good. Everything’s cool. It will happen when the time is right. I feel like it’s not a huge priority to go and have a big wedding right now,” she continued. “That’s not what life is all about; life is about just enjoying each other and spending time and really being grateful for all of the things that we have. You know our health, our family, and being able to do all of these great creative things that we are doing. We are just super content right now with that and I think that’s where we should keep it right now.”
