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.
