Jennifer Lopez has opened up about how she and fiancé Alex Rodriguez went to therapy to help them through quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 51-year-old singer said that their relationship of four years has benefited from having counselling together as the strains of the lockdown took hold.

Speaking to Allure about how they have coped during the pandemic, Jennifer said: "We got to work on ourselves.

"We did therapy. I think it was really helpful for us in our relationship."

The admission comes as JLo admitted that she has found it hard getting used to the slowing down of her life, after previously packing her days before coronavirus took hold of the world.

Alex, on the other hand, has embraced the new way of life and is enjoying the change of pace to how they work.

Jennifer continued: "I miss being creative and running on 150.

"But Alex, of all people, was like, 'I love it. I love being at home. I love doing my Zooms. I love knowing the kids are there, and you're there all the time.' It has been actually really good."

Jennifer was planning a lavish wedding before the pandemic, which has meant they have had to postpone the ceremony until a later date.

She continued: "We had been planning for months and months and months, and it was overseas.

"Maybe that wasn't the right time. You start thinking of all of these things — how everything has its kind of perfect, divine moment."

The therapy admission comes days after Alex was plunged into controversy about an alleged relationship with Southern Charm star, Madison LeCroy.

Madison was accused of getting intimate with a former MLB player, who was married at the time, during the Southern Charm reunion.

She denied that anything untoward had happened but admitted that she had been in touch by phone.

Madison said their exchanges were "innocent" and that she had never actually met up with Alex.

She insisted that Alex had "never physically cheated" on Jennifer with her, adding: "That's the truth."

Madison added they had "never had any kind of anything. Just an acquaintance."

Alex has denied ever being in touch with Madison, either in person or by phone.
