Ben Affleck weds Jennifer Lopez after breaking up 18 years ago
Top American actors Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have got married in Las Vegas. This comes after 18 years after their first engagement was officially called off.
“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” Jennifer Lopez wrote on her fan website OntheJLo.
The pair called off their first engagement in January 2004.
News of the couple getting back together last year sent fans into a spin, as they publicly displayed their rekindled love on social media.
Writing on her website, the film and singing star said the couple had flown to Las Vegas on Saturday and queued for a marriage licence alongside four other couples.
“We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to.”
This is Lopez’s fourth marriage. She was married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014 and they have twins together.
Affleck was married to actor Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018, and they have three children together.
In her statement, Lopez said the ceremony was the “best possible wedding we could have imagined… one we dreamed of long ago and one made real at very, very long last”.
