JENNIFER LOPEZ. Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez and actor Ben Affleck got married in Las Vegas, almost twenty years after their first love affair.
[Mis à jour le 18 juillet 2022 à 14h12] They said to each other “I do”: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married on Saturday July 16 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is good. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years of patience,” J.Lo wrote in a message to her fans, in the newsletter of its site “On the JLO”. And to detail: “Last night, we flew to Vegas, we queued with four other couples to obtain a license. We arrived just in time in the little white chapel, at midnight.
A new major twist in the Jennifer Lopez / Ben Affleck love story, which began almost twenty years ago. The couple, who reunited last year, originally met in 2002 on the set of the film gigi. For two years, the two stars unleashed the tabloids. Ben Affleck even appeared in the music video for the song Jenny From the Block of his sweetheart, staging himself in a fake paparazzade. A few months later, the actor asks for his hand to the singer, who will then show off a diamond ring estimated at 1.2 million dollars.
But a few months later, a first shadow on the board with rumors of infidelity displayed in all the American tabloids. “You can no longer go to a place to spend some time with friends without it turning into a national scandal”, confided Jennifer Lopez in the magazine W. And the day before his wedding, in September 2004, the couple separated. No official reason was then communicated, but the actors had pointed to the over-mediatization of their story and their marriage.
Their reunion in May 2021 had aroused global nostalgia, increased tenfold by the announcement of their engagement. With this marriage, Jennifer Lopez becomes Jennifer Affleck in the civil status. For the singer and actress, this is her fourth marriage.
