Jennifer Lopez says she’s ‘heartbroken’ over having to postpone her wedding to Alex Rodriguez

Jennifer Lopez has put her wedding plans on pause due to the coronavirus pandemic. The singer, actress and dancer, announced her engagement to Alex Rodriguez last March, with plans to officially wed this summer.

Speaking on The Today Show on Tuesday, Lopez told host Hoda Kotb that she was “a little heartbroken” to be changing her wedding plans.

Lopez, 50, appeared on the morning talk show to promote the fourth season of her dance competition show, World Of Dance, which premieres tonight.

But first, she answered some questions about how her family is handling stay-at-home orders. “The kids are in virtual school, Alex and I are doing a lot of Zoom calls - a lot of working,” said Lopez, who is in quarantine with her twins from her previous marriage to singer Marc Anthony, as well as Rodriguez and his two children from a previous marriage.

“That’s pretty much it. What’s nice is we get to have dinner together every night, and I love that,” she added.

Kotb, who announced her own engagement last November, then switched to wedding plans. “What is going to happen to our wedding dates?” she asked Lopez.

“Nobody knows,” she replied. “There’s no planning right now, you just have to kind of wait and see how this all plays out. It’s disappointing on one level,” Lopez continued.

“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.”

Kotb then asked Lopez if she was feeling heartbroken at all over canceling her original ceremony plans. “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,’” she said. “And so we just have to wait and see. Maybe it’s going to be better. I have to believe that it will be.”

In the meantime, even in quarantine, you can still expect to see some of Lopez’s latest projects. Lopez appears as a judge on World of Dance in addition to serving as the show’s executive producer, and it will air each week on NBC. The show was recorded prior to the pandemic, and Lopez hopes it will bring people some joy while they’re at home.

“It’s time to dance again. When I wrote the song, ‘Dance Again,’ I had just gotten divorced, and I needed something to bring me back,” Lopez told Kotb.

“And that song signified that for me because it was a traumatic time for me. And I feel like all of us are going through a very uncertain, kind of anxiety-ridden time. It’s just like, okay, ‘We gotta get up, we gotta start dancing again.’ And that’s what this show is about."
