In 2022, Jennifer Lopez returned to New York to shoot the romantic comedy-drama “Marry Me”, twenty years after having been there as a “Maid In Manhattan”. In more times, the actress has also appeared in several other New York-based films, to include “The Back-Up Plan”, “The Hustlers” and “Second Act”, alongside Vanessa Hudgens.

In “Marry Me”, Lopez plays Kat Valdez, who is one half of a celebrity power couple with hot new music supernova Bastian. As Kat and Bastian’s inescapable hit single, ‘Marry Me’ climbs the charts, they are about to be wed before an audience of their fans in a ceremony that will stream across multiple platforms. Divorced high-school math teacher Charlie Gilbert has been dragged to the concert by his daughter Lou and his best friend Parker Debbs. When Kat learns, seconds before the ceremony that Bastian has cheated on her with her assistant, her life turns upside down as she has a meltdown on stage, questioning love, truth, and loyalty. As her gossamer world falls away, she locks eyes with a stranger-a face in the crowd, and in a moment of inspired insanity, Kat chooses to marry Charlie. What begins as an impulsive reaction evolves into an unexpected romance. But as forces conspire to separate them, the universal question arises: Can two people from such different worlds bridge the gulf between them and build a place where they both belong?
