Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially married, according to a source close to Lopez. The couple married on Saturday in an “intimate ceremony in Las Vegas,” according to the source. Lopez confirmed the wedding in her newsletter on Sunday, signing off with a new name: Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
“Last night, we flew to Vegas and stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the world’s wedding capital,” Lopez wrote. “We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel before it closed at midnight. They graciously stayed open a few minutes later, allowing us to take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, clearly once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis to show up that cost extra, and he was in bed).”

The Bennifer love story has been in the works for over 20 years. The couple first met on the set of the rom-com “Gigli” in December 2001, where they played criminals stuck on a job together and struck up a real-life friendship. The two were engaged by November 2002, but their wedding was postponed in September 2003 due to “excessive media attention” surrounding their wedding.

“I was completely caught off guard and just looked in his eyes, smiling and crying at the same time, trying to wrap my head around the fact that this was happening all over again after 20 years, I was literally speechless, and he said, ‘is that a yes?’ Of course, that’s a YES, I said “She stated this in her newsletter.
