Sorry, but We'll Have to Wait a Little Longer For the Release of J Lo and Maluma's Rom-Com

Feb 9 2021 - 7:15am

Marry Me is about to become our new favorite romance film. The musical comedy stars Jennifer Lopez [1], Owen Wilson [2], Sarah Silverman, Chloe Coleman, and John Bradley, and it marks Maluma's first feature film. The movie is based on Bobby Crosby's graphic novel [3] of the same name and is described as a cross between Notting Hill and A Star Is Born [4]. It centers around Lopez's character finding out that her fiancé (Maluma) has been cheating on her with her assistant before she goes on to marry a random crowd member (Wilson) instead.

Lopez and Maluma gave fans a glimpse of what to expect back in October 2019 when they surprised concertgoers with a duet of "No Me Ames," [5] which she originally recorded with ex-husband Marc Anthony [6], in New York City. The performance will actually double as a scene in the rom-com. Maluma and Lopez then shared Instagram photos of a studio session together. Considering that the pair also collaborated on an album [7] for the movie, they were likely working on songs for the film. "There's a whole — all new songs and all new music with it," Lopez revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [8] in February 2020. "So it's exciting." She added: "I think I have like six or eight songs and Maluma does two or three."

Marry Me was originally set to hit theaters on Valentine's Day [9] in 2021, but it was eventually pushed back [10] to May 14, 2021. Now, the release date has been moved again, and it's expected to be released on Feb. 11, 2022 [11]. In the meantime, see more behind-the-scenes moments ahead.
