“He was sitting there in his white shirt, very confident and manly, but then he was just so talkative! I think he thought I was going to be this loud person, but I’m not. I just listen. So he’s talking, talking about his plans, about how he had just retired from baseball, about how he saw himself getting married again, all these things you wouldn’t normally talk about on a first date. I don’t know if he thought it was a date. … He was nervous, and it was really cute.” — Lopez to Vanity Fair in December 2017
“I do believe in marriage. And I would love to grow old with somebody in a committed relationship. But I’m not forcing anything right now.” — Lopez to Harper’s Bazaar in April 2018
