The world turned upside down when the coronavirus pandemic hit, and even A-list celebrities weren’t immune to its disruptions. For Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, it meant putting their highly anticipated wedding plans on hold. Engaged since March 2019, the couple shared how they’re adapting to these unprecedented times while keeping their dream day in sight, despite friends and family being in quarantine.

Zooming Through Wedding Plans

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on April 20, Alex revealed the couple’s innovative approach to planning their special day. “We had a meeting on Zoom with our core [group of people], kind of just going over what the next 12 months look like,” he explained. “We have three or four different variations of how that can look.” With uncertainty looming, the couple is staying flexible and exploring all possible scenarios to ensure their wedding remains a beautiful celebration, no matter the circumstances.

Adapting to a Changing World

Alex, 44, admitted that the current climate is unlike anything anyone could have predicted. “It’s such a fluid world,” he added. “Usually when you underwrite a year—whether in terms of scheduling or financially—you never think that it’s going to just stop like this. So we’re having to be very fluid, think on our feet, and just think very proactively.” In a world filled with uncertainty, the couple is proving that adaptability and forward-thinking are key to overcoming challenges.

A New Normal: Making the Best of It

While their wedding plans may be on pause, Alex says he’s cherishing the unexpected gift of quality family time during the pandemic. With his two daughters, Natasha, 15, and Ella, 12, as well as J. Lo’s 12-year-old twins, Max and Emme, the household is bustling with activity. “I’m actually thrilled to be home, because I’m never home, so I’m making the best out of it,” the former baseball player said. “We’re playing wiffle ball, we’re playing chess, we’re playing checkers, we’re playing Monopoly, and for us to have dinner with the kids every day is like a dream.”

Even in the midst of global chaos, Alex found a lighthearted way to connect with his daughters through a TikTok video where he humorously pondered which of his girls he liked more. While he didn’t directly answer the question, the video showcased a fun and candid moment with his daughters, highlighting their unique personalities. Natasha, it seems, is always asking for cash, while Ella gets the playful label of being the “most annoying.”

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Alex shared a heartfelt perspective on the silver linings of this time. “Coronavirus makes you appreciate the little things in life and it makes you grateful for everything that we have,” he said. “We’re healthy, and we’re kicking along trying to do the best we can.” The couple’s resilience and gratitude serve as a reminder that even in tough times, there’s always room for positivity and joy.
