Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have married in Nevada, 18 years following their first relationship ended, according to court documents released Saturday and seen by AFP. Their relationship had been extremely publicized at the time.
Benjamin Geza Affleck married Jennifer Lopez, according to the Clark County marriage license, which includes the city of Las Vegas. According to the court document, the 52-year-old singer and actress chose to take her husband’s surname, and will therefore be Jennifer Affleck for civil status.
The one who is also a businesswoman, with a line of cosmetics and perfumes bearing her name, announced in April her engagement with the actor in a very short video. Visibly moved, she was seen admiring a ring set with a green stone.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met in 2002 on the set of ‘Gigli’, widely considered a turnip, and the relationship between these two Hollywood greats was closely watched by the paparazzi. Their wedding, scheduled for 2003, had been postponed, before they announced their separation in 2004.
‘Bennifer’
The two stars had ignited the web last year by giving a chance to their couple, nicknamed ‘Bennifer’ (the contraction of their first names) in the early 2000s.
“It’s a beautiful love story that we were able to have a second chance,” commented the interpreter of ‘Jenny From The Block’, in an interview granted in February to People magazine. The couple have become ‘inseparable’ since they got back together and bought a house together in Beverly Hills, according to the specialized site TMZ.
Jennifer Lopez has already been married three times, including to singer Marc Anthony with whom she has twins. Ben Affleck, known for his roles in Argo or Gone Girl, was married to actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children.
