Jennifer Lopez Reveals She and A-Rod Considered Not Marrying

Jennifer Lopez got candid about whether or not she and her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, will ever walk down the aisle.

During an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, the singer and actress opened up about her botched wedding plans, and shared that she and Rodriguez considered not marrying at all. As Lopez and Rodriguez were scheduled to marry earlier this year with a lavish Italian destination wedding, they postponed then ultimately canceled their nuptials due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"We've talked about that for sure. I mean, at our age, we've both been married before, it's like, do we get married? Do we not? What does it mean for us?" shared Lopez during the interview. "It was really sad because we were supposed to get married in June and we had planned it all. So in March or April, we're looking down the pipe and we're going, 'This is maybe not going to happen.' Italy's the worst place in the world. And we were going to get married in Italy. It was, yeah, it was like, I was like, 'OK, we got to cancel everything.'"

Further, Lopez dished on if the pair would follow in the footsteps of longtime, unwed Hollywood couples, while also expressing that when the time is right, she and Rodriguez will celebrate their love with their family and friends.

"But the same thing with like the Goldie thing and Kurt, you think, 'Do you have to, should we?' It just kind of gave us a moment to pause and think about it," said Lopez. "And I think it's something that maybe is still important to us, but there's no rush, you know, there's no rush. It'll happen when it happens."
