Alex has been engaged to Jennifer Lopez since 2019, and the couple were initially planning on tying the knot last year.
However, the coronavirus pandemic forced them to postpone their nuptials twice.
‘We postponed the wedding twice,’ JLo recently told Elle. ‘We had planned what we really, really wanted to do, [but] I don’t know if we’ll be able to re-create that,’ she told the magazine.
‘We canceled it, and since then we haven’t really talked about it. There’s no rush. We want to do it right when we can do it.’
