Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in Las Vegas, Lopez said.
“We did it,” Lopez wrote on her website. “Love is beautiful. Love is good. And it turns out that love is patient, patient for twenty years.”
The couple, Lopez and Affleck, separated following they were engaged for the first time, in January 2004.
Over the past year, Lopez and Affleck’s return to each other has generated a lot of interest from their fans, as they openly showed their love on social media.
According to the Clark County Marriage Registry in Nevada, where Las Vegas is located, Lopez plans to change her name to Jennifer Affleck.
The singer and film star, Lopez, said on her website that she and Affleck traveled to Las Vegas on Saturday and they married.
“They were right when they said: All you need is love,” Lopez wrote.
“We are grateful for all this abundance, for the wonderful new family of five wonderful children and a new life to look forward to,” she said.
Lopez’s hairstylist, Chris Appleton, shared a video of the star in her wedding dress on Instagram as she prepares for the wedding.
The morning following the wedding, the bride shared a selfie in bed wearing her new wedding ring.
The couple, nicknamed Bennifer, met on the set of the movie Gigli in 2002 and announced their engagement in 2003, but announced their separation the following year, blaming it on “excessive media attention”.
But since they got back together, the two have regularly posted photos and videos online of their vacations and romantic moments with their families, prompting fans to call them Bennifer once more.
This is Lopez’s fourth marriage. She was married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, and they have two children.
Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and they have three children.
Lopez said the ceremony was “the best wedding imaginable…a party we’ve dreamed of for a long time, and it came true following a very long wait.”
