Jennifer Lopez She almost spent a lot of money to get her dream actor Alex Rodríguez‘s wedding.

Celebrity Wedding Planner Marcy Blum spoke about working on the exes’ wedding before their final split on the Thursday, December 26, episode of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast. “I’ll tell you a story because I never signed a nondisclosure agreement,” she explained.

Blum says her clients are often shocked at “the price of headliners,” and Lopez, 55, and Rodriguez, 49, were no exception. “We worked with J.Lo and A-Rod before they broke up. And we’re going through a list of musicians and she asks, “How about?” Bruno Mars?’” she shared.

After recently working with the then 39-year-old Mars, Blum surprised Lopez with the “Treasure” singer’s hefty fee. “I said, ‘I just worked with him and he’s making $5 (million),'” she revealed. “(Jennifer said), ‘Don’t be ridiculous!’ I said, ‘I’m telling you, $5 million plus driver.’ On the night (of the wedding), you have 45 minutes, you get an hour.”

The look of love – in the form of Jennifer Lopez’s five engagement rings over the years. The 51-year-old singer has a ton of incredible diamonds. On March 12, 2021, rumors surfaced that she and Alex Rodriguez had ended their relationship and engagement after two years. Us Weekly confirmed the following (…)

Blum didn’t reveal whether Lopez agreed with Mars’ price, but the wedding ultimately fell through after she and Rodriguez ended their engagement in April 2021.

When it comes to working with high-profile artists for events, Blum said she and her team “don’t give them an excuse to be obnoxious” by catering to their needs. “We say, ‘Let’s go, and there’s someone here to hold you and da da da,'” she said.

Blum said it’s also not normal for a celebrity like Mars to be the event’s “regular entertainment.” “Nobody wants to do their first dance, or maybe they do, but they shouldn’t, to Coldplay or something. “That’s just stupid,” she joked. “What you want is you want a band and maybe a DJ, and then you want 45 minutes of it Chris Martin or Elton John or whoever you want. Because otherwise everything revolves around them.”

Lopez and Rodriguez got engaged in March 2019 after two years of dating. It was revealed that the two had broken up in March 2021, but the couple didn’t confirm their split until the following month.

“Jen really wishes Alex well,” a source said exclusively Us weekly in June 2022. “She has completely moved on. She doesn’t think about Alex. Their relationship has been full of drama and that is the last thing she has time for in her life.”

Rodriguez noted on a July 2022 episode of “The Martha Stewart Podcast” that he and Lopez had “a great time” in their relationship. He added, “More importantly, we always put children at the center of everything we do.” (Lopez shares her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband Mark Anthony.
