Singer and actor Jennifer Lopez is ready to slow things down to be more of a stay-at-home partner to her boyfriend and former US baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

"While Jennifer and Alex insist they're not furiously planning to run off and get married, they are already are acting like each other's spouses. And Jennifer wants to be the traditional partner that Alex needs during this time in their life," a source was quoted as saying by US entertainment website radaronline.com.
