Earlier, the actress made it to the headlines after she fell prey to the rumours about her elopement plans with fiancée Alex Rodriguez. Believing the latest rumours that have been doing the rounds on social media, JLo fans have come to the conclusion that she is either already married to Alex or they have been planning to elope soon. The rumours arose as the pop star’s private life has often collided with her art, in the past, resulting in songs and films that hint towards her life developments. However, Jennifer Lopez is of the strong stance that all of it is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with planning. In an interaction with ETonline, Jennifer Lopez spoke about the films and how it is being connected with her real life. She said that It is sort of funny because she believes life does reflect into one’s work sometimes
