Lopez and Rodriguez originally planed to wed in Italy in June 2020, but postponed the wedding due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
“It was really sad because we were supposed to get married in June and we had planned it all,” Lopez told Andy Cohen last year. “So in March or April, we’re looking down the pipe and we’re going, ‘This is maybe not going to happen. Italy’s the worst place in the world. And we were going to get married in Italy. I was like, OK, we got to cancel everything.”
