Jennifer Lopez appears to be on Cloud Nine in the run up to her wedding to Alex Rodriguez, despite the coronavirus pandemic putting a spanner in the works for their nuptials.

On Sunday, the 50-year-old shared a series of photographs of herself with a message to inspire positivity and gratitude amid the ongoing health crisis.

In the photos, Lopez jumps up and down (presumably on a trampoline) in a knee-length, sleeveless, ivory-hued dress with a square neckline which would be perfect for a summer wedding. She teamed the dress with a pair of gold hoop earrings and her highlighted brown hair in natural curls.

The snaps also see The Hustlers star show off her dancing skills as she extends her arms, and points her toes like a ballerina.

She captioned the post: ‘In this time, when it’s so easy to get down and think of all the things going wrong and what we don’t have and don’t know the answers to... I make it a habit to say three things I’m grateful for as soon as I open my eyes and then at night when I’m lying in bed I list three good things out loud that happened that day.

'Could be anything... and I try to change them so they are not the same everyday. Stay positive and stay safe. Love you and miss you all... together we will soon be.’

Lopez is currently self-isolating with her twins, 12-year-olds Max and Emme - from her previous marriage to singer Marc Anthony - fiancé Rodriguez, and the athlete’s two daughters, Natasha, 15, and Ella, 12, from his previous marriage to Cynthia Scurtis.

Last month, Lopez opened up to Ellen DeGeneres about her wedding plans, with the TV show host suggesting that the singer and the former baseball player’s wedding day would’ve been ‘any day now’ if it wasn’t for the pandemic.

‘Any day now?!’ Jennifer exclaimed. ‘Actually, it did affect it a little bit, so we will see what happens now.

‘Honestly, I really don’t know what’s going to happen now, as far as dates or anything like that. We’re just kind of in a holding pattern like the rest of the world. It’s something that we’ll have to wait and see in a few months, how this all pans out.’

Last October, the singer gave an update on the style of dress she hopes to wear on her big day.

'I know I don't want one as big as I'm wearing in the movie,' she joked to Extra TV, referring to the dress she wore during filming for her upcoming project Marry Me In Manhattan.

‘That one is a lot to carry around. Too big. But amazing and I'm so lucky I got to wear it.'

Earlier in the day, Lopez shared behind-the-scenes videos from her rehearsals with Shakira for their 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

‘I do it with my knees. I shake my knees. You shake your knees, the butt shakes too,’ she told the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer as she showed her how she achieves her bum shakes.
