J-Lo And A-Rod: Wedding Bells Soon?

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, also known as J-Rod, were engaged in March 2019, but they never set a wedding date. The couple had planned to get married in the summer of 2020, but they pushed back their wedding date twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, the couple announced their split.

J-Rod's wedding plans

Lopez and Rodriguez's children from previous marriages were excited to see their future step-siblings perform at the Super Bowl in 2020. Ella Rodriguez said of Emme Muniz, "My favorite part was when the little girls came out and Emme sang, it was really good." Her sister Natasha added, "It was the coolest thing to watch my stepsister sing. I'm so proud of her every time I see her and her voice is just angelic."

In April 2021, the couple announced their split, stating, "We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects."

A-Rod's proposal

Alex Rodriguez's proposal to Jennifer Lopez was a dream come true for the latter. Rodriguez popped the question during a romantic getaway in the Bahamas. The couple was on a beach walk when Rodriguez got down on one knee at sunset. Lopez was thrilled that the proposal was so "romantic and low-key". She also loved that Rodriguez knew her so well and felt comfortable keeping the proposal real instead of flashy.

The couple announced their engagement on Instagram, with Rodriguez posting a photo of Lopez wearing her stunning diamond engagement ring, estimated to be worth up to $5 million, and captioning it, "She said yes." Lopez shared the same image on her Instagram page with eight black heart emojis.

Rodriguez also shared a video on his Instagram story, showing rose petals laid out on a white bed that read, "I <3 U", with a dozen long-stemmed roses placed on a bench at the foot of the bed.
