JANUARY 18, 2021 Star 31L
IKE millions of
couples around the
world, Jennifer
Lopez and Alex
Rodriguez were
forced to cancel
their June 2020
wedding because
of safety restrictions due to
he Covid-19 pandemic. It was
disappointing” to scuttle the
avish Italian nuptials she’d
lanned with the baseball
great, the pop star recently told
Bravo’sAndy Cohen. But, she
old the radio host, she was
hoosing to see the positive
n the postponement: “It just
kind of gave us a moment to
ause and think about it.”
Turns out, the more JLo
pauses and thinks about it,
he less she is liking the idea.
While a source says Alex
would still “tie the knot with
her in a heartbeat,” the insid-
er reveals that theHustlersstar,
51, changed her mind about
saying “I do” to her fiancé of a
year and a half. “The original
plan was to get married at a
later date, but Jennifer now is
saying that this is a sign,” aninsider says. “She’s
done a U-turn and
gone off the idea of
ver getting married.
The wedding is basi-
cally off.”AFRAID TO FAIL
Her second thoughts are
understandable. Before
her March 2019 engage-
ment to the 45-year-old,
he’d racked up three di-
vorces —most recentlyfrom Marc Anthony, who she
divorced in 2014 — and the
World of Dance exec producer
has no desire to see history
repeat itself yet again. During
her chat with Andy, the singer
pointed to Goldie Hawn and
Kurt Russell, who have been
together for 35 years but have
never exchanged vows. “With,
like, the Goldie thing and
Kurt,” she mused, “you think,
‘Do you have to [get married]?
Should we?”
If it were up to her fiancé,
the answer would be a resound-
ing yes. The insider says the
ex-athlete has been actively
trying to get her to agree to a
socially distanced event at their
$32.5 million home in Miami.
“Alex says she has the dress
and everything ready so why
not?” the insider continues.
“Their backyard is stunning,
with lots of space and an amaz-
ing pool.” So far, however, the
“Jenny From the Block” singer
“isn’t one bit interested” in
the idea, continues the insider.
“The more he pressures her, the
more she doesn’t want to marry
him. He’s actually getting on
her nerves.”HOUSEHOLD FIGHTShis girls, Natasha, 16, and Ella,
12, the couple has been bicker-
ing as of late, with JLo com-
plaining about everything from
A-Rod’s extravagant spending
habits — he thinks nothing of
dropping a reported $140K
on a car — to his messiness
around the house. Says the in-
sider, “There’s a lot about him
that irritates the hell out of her.”
But really, it’s all a classic
case of cold feet. If she didn’t
have to worry about making a
permanent commitment, the in-
sider says, she’d be enjoying his
company as much as ever: “She
doesn’t want to marry because
she’s terrified it might lead to
another divorce.” ★Happy Family
When it comes to raising a blended
brood with A-Rod, JLo has none
of the fears she does about
marriage — and it has worked
out beautifully. “Our
kids have become best
friends,” she’s gushed.
