Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck officially tied the knot in a Vegas chapel on Saturday, July 16. JLo wrote about her special day on her new website, On The JLo: “Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world.”
“We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself,” she continued. Jennifer even signed the post with her new name, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
She wore two different dresses for her special day, the first was an off-the-shoulder, long sleeve lace dress from Zuhair Murad’s 2023 spring bridal collection and the second dress had more meaning to Jennifer as it was from a dress from an “old movie.” Her nails were a chestnut brown color done by Tom Bachik with big curls in a half updo done by Chris Appleton.
Ben and Jen were engaged for the first time in 2002 before the couple eventually parted ways in 2004. Now, at age 52 and 49, the couple married for the first time almost 20 years later.
After their split in 2004, Jennifer married Marc Anthony and had two children with him. Marc and Jen separated in 2011. Ben went on to marry another Jennifer -- Jennifer Garner in 2005. After 10 years of marriage and three children, Ben and Jennifer Garner divorced in 2015.
The couple revealed their engagement in April of this year. Ben proposed to Jennifer in her favorite place -- a bubble bath of course! Jennifer shared the details of her engagement on her site, calling it “the most romantic thing.” She continued on to say that she and Ben are “Two very lucky people. Who got a second chance at true love.”
All of the couple's children were in attendance for the intimate wedding at The White Chapel. “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at twelve-thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive-through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with,” Jennifer wrote. ~Senna Gill
And the divorce clock starts......now! I don't want to be cynical but it's Hollywood. I hope they can prove me and history wrong though. Congrats and good luck.
