AceShowbiz - Celebrity wedding planner Marcy Blum pulled back the curtain on some fascinating behind-the-scenes details from Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez's ill-fated wedding preparations.
During an appearance on "The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast," Blum unveiled that Lopez had her sights set on having Bruno Mars perform at the event. However, she quickly recoiled at his exorbitant price tag.
As Blum recounted on the podcast, "We were working with J. Lo and A-Rod before they broke up, and they were going through a list of musicians, and she goes, 'What about Bruno Mars?' " The response to Bruno Mars' staggering fee left Lopez stunned.
The Grammy-winning artist charges a jaw-dropping $5 million for a 45-minute to one-hour wedding performance - a fee Lopez reportedly found "ridiculous." Blum shared that she informed Lopez about Mars' cost after having "just worked with" the "24K Magic" singer for another event.
Lopez and Rodriguez began their romance in 2017, getting engaged in 2019 with plans to hold a lavish wedding in Italy in 2020. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the couple to put their wedding plans on hold, and the subsequent year brought their breakup in 2021.
Following their split, Lopez rekindled her romance with actor Ben Affleck. The pair eloped in Las Vegas and later held a more formal ceremony in Georgia. Yet, their renewed relationship was short-lived, as Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Throughout these relationship upheavals, Lopez, who has been married four times, continues to co-parent her twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Affleck, on the other hand, co-parents his three children Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Despite not having any child together, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck still keep in touch with each other, with their latest reunion happening just before Christmas at an exclusive club in Beverly Hills to trade holiday gifts.
The whirlwind romances and high-profile breakups have certainly kept public attention glued to Lopez and her evolving personal life.
Blum's revelations, coupled with the roller coaster of J.Lo's love life, offer a glimpse into the ups and downs of celebrity relationships. Despite the twists and turns, Lopez appears focused on her music career, even as the world watches her next move with bated breath.
