I go back and forth on Jennifer Lopez, as many of you know. Like, I genuinely adore her and want the best for her. But I also acknowledge that she has a terrible picker and that this whole “I’m a romantic who is in love with love” sh-t is getting really tired. I also go back and forth on J.Lo’s relationship with Alex Rodriguez. On the plus side, she’s not dating a loser backup dancer who gets pap’d outside budget “massage parlors.” On the other hand, A-Rod is a narcissist who has cheated on every girlfriend/partner he’s ever had, right? So… yeah. I haven’t known what to make of the fact that J.Lo and A-Rod haven’t announced their engagement yet. As it turns out, it might be some kind of positive growth from Jennifer?
When it comes to Alex Rodriguez, Jennifer Lopez is adamant about doing things right. That means not hurrying down the aisle with the retired baseball star, 43.
“They were ready to get married early on and talked about it. But Jennifer decided she wants to do it differently this time,” a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly of the thrice-wed singer, 49. “She’s been down the marriage road and doesn’t know if she wants to do it again.”
Nor does she want to rock the boat. “Everything is working out so well, she doesn’t want to jinx it or change anything,” the close pal adds. Besides, the duo “already act like they’re married,” a second insider says. “They’ve been combining their finances.”
For now, Rodriguez and Lopez are relaxed. “They are very happy and have a great relationship,” the source continues. “They’re committed to each other and their families, and that’s what matters most.”
Should we celebrate that Jennifer isn’t hellbent on marching down the aisle with this one? Or should we play a game of wait-and-see? Because I’ve been feeling all along that A-Rod and J-Lo will get married and formally become J-Rod (JA-Rod? A-Lo?). I think it’s just a matter of time, but I do think that it’s a good sign that neither one of them seems to be pressing the marriage issue? They’re letting the relationship unfold somewhat organically, with a traditional timeline. I don’t hate it. Even though I think A-Rod will absolutely break her heart.

I love JLo because she is old skool and embodies the values of hard work, determination and persistence. I admire that. And I’ve just come here from the DM where Kylie Jenner’s 21st bday party is being breathlessly reported on. That party looked cheap AF and highlights just how trashy that family really are.
So JLo can do no wrong as far as Im concerned. She’s virtually Old Hollywood compared to the latest round of tryhards and wannabes.
She’s probably going to marry old mate and split in two years time…but that’s how she rolls.
If I were JLo, I would never marry again. You are a rich beautiful famous woman, you have two children, just enjoy your love story. As they say “Marriage is killing love”.
After three divorces in a fairly short amount of time, I hope she’s done with marriage. I’ll she’s doing is giving a lot of her money to her lawyers.
I hope so too, although I think she’s being real dumb in combining their finances. They’re both millionaires, I’m sure they can both pay their bills just fine, why do they need to combine especially if there is no prenup?
Agree. Hopefully it just means they’ve gotten some joint accounts for the purpose of paying shared living expenses.
That stood out to me too, I hope Tanya is right that it’s just for shared living expenses.
I get the impression JLo is pretty smart and business savvy, so hopefully she doesn’t do anything foolish with her finances here.
Does anyone really believe that she wouldn’t marry him in a second if he asked?
I think he’s the hold out here.
J-Lo falls hard every time, but this guy has had a ton of women convinced that he’s the one. I wonder what it is…
BDE?
The hundreds of millions don’t hurt..
Considering the past record of both, I think taking it a day at a time is smart..hopefully they’ll stay happy
She does not seem gaga in love with him like she did with the others, more like she likes the way they “match” on paper and their lives mesh as a power couple. Anyway, agree with others that marrying him would be a mistake.
Actually…I agree with your stance regarding this!!!!
Sure Jan.
Jenn doesn’t need to marry This one. He gives me the heebie jeebies. If she is smart she won’t put a ring on that finger. She’s doing just fine as is.
She’s doing fine as she is. Why mess up a good thing?
Because she’s such a gosh-darn old-fashioned romantic!
LMFAO WHAT ARE THOSE!? Those boots got their own belts too! I’m DONE!
I think they are a cute couple.
Those boots are awful.
Translation:
He doesn’t want to marry her, but they both agreed that she could publicly state she’s the holdout, to help her save face. The woman rebounded with a backup dancer. She probably literally looked around, grabbed the first guy she saw, and said, “You’re my new boyfriend.”
I hate this term, but I must say, she is the thirstiest thirst to ever thirst. She craves attention. She craves people telling her how beautiful she is. I would imagine that any time spent with her is 100% the J-lo show.
I think you are confusing J-Lo with Mariah Carey here. LOL!
J-Lo is the catch in this relationship… A-Rod better recognize! But no denying she is hella thirsty at times and I do wish she would just stop singing. JUST STOP! STAY IN YOUR LANE ROM-COM!
If she doesn’t know after a year that means she sees the numerous red flags. I do wish they’d work out, but I don’t believe he’ll ever change. He’s cheated in both his personal and professional life and that’s a character and an integrity issue.
