Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Get Married in Las Vegas (Variety)

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially married. According to a Nevada marriage license, the two were wed over the weekend.

In their professional lives, Affleck won an Oscar for producing best picture winner “Argo” and Lopez grew her fortune touring, acting in movies and recording music. Lopez confirmed her and Affleck’s nuptials through a new edition of her newsletter “On the JLo” later Sunday afternoon. By the time the Kevin Smith-directed “Jersey Girl” hit theaters in 2004, the couple had already announced that they’d broken up. She wrote, “Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in a bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed.” Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things — and worth waiting for.” She signed the letter as “Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.” The first was 2003’s “Gigli,” which didn’t exactly light the box office on fire.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck married July 16 in Las Vegas. Here's everything we know about the intimate ceremony.

“Sadie! #iykyk,” she captioned the post, a reference to lyrics from Funny Girl: “I’m Sadie, Sadie, married lady.” “Best night of our lives.” “Exactly what we wanted,” were her exact words to her fans. “It was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. “And this is my wedding changing area,” the Oscar winner says while holding up his phone to the mirror. “Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.” “And now I’m wearing it on my wedding day.” “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. “They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle.” The singer didn’t spend the last 30 years being a fashion trendsetter to just wear one dress on her wedding day. Both moved on to marry other people and have kids, destined to be each other’s “the one that got away” — until last year. “Exactly what we wanted,” Lopez wrote of the ceremony.

Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things — and worth waiting for.” She signed off as Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck. As those who know her well previously told Page Six, Affleck is the love of her life. Another industry source told The Post on Monday: “Ben’s comments were ridiculous and you could see that fans of Jen were so upset too. It was very, very minimally planned in advance and was largely spur of the moment. She has maintained her silence as her ex has enjoyed publicized romances with “Saturday Night Live” producer Lindsay Shookus and Cuban actress Ana de Armas, who recently revealed that she quit LA over the attention surrounding their relationship. She wanted to lock this down and remove any chance for cold feet ASAP!”

Resurfaced JLo And Ben Affleck Interview Will Give You Deja Vu As ... (Cinema Blend)

In a blast from the past, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's first interview together resurfaces after the couple finally get married.

While Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn’t have a big affair when they finally did get married just this past weekend, they were thankfully able to keep the ceremony more or less on the down-low. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were the “it” couple back in the early 2000s, and it seemed like every press outlet had coverage of their comings and goings. It sounds like back in 2003, Jennifer Lopez was planning to take Ben Affleck’s last name, and it’s very possible it would have earned her another nickname of “J.A.” if the wedding had actually happened. I don’t think there could have been a nicer person about being hounded day and night by paparazzi, an experience that stuck with JLo enough to put it in a film. In the same interview, Lopez explained that the wedding the couple was planning wouldn’t try to hide from the press. In Lopez and Affleck’s very first, exclusive interview together with Pat O’Brien (via NBC News), the pop star-turned-actress was asked what her name would be upon marrying Affleck. Here is how that conversation went:

Bennifer gets a happy ending, now that tabloids have lost their bite (The Washington Post)

After they blamed the demise of their first engagement on vicious media, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's second attempt ended on a much happier note: ...

In April, she shared the news of her “quiet,” “nothing fancy” engagement there. Nowadays, social media allows celebrities to craft their own narratives; in the InStyle interview, Lopez credited her ability to “show you who I am a little bit” on apps such as Instagram with helping her avoid breathless tabloid coverage. Lopez and her team chose to work with the more established magazines, including People. In 2002, Lopez gave ABC News’s Diane Sawyer the exclusive on her engagement. The original run of stories began after the actors met on the set of the film “Gigli” in 2001, just months after Lopez married choreographer Cris Judd. Within a year, Lopez had divorced Judd and moved onto a “hot new love” with Affleck, as Us Weekly put it in August 2002. His own career went off the rails after a string of flops, including “Gigli.” Affleck and Lopez got their happy ending in the absence of frenzied tabloid culture.
