| Affleck and Lopez got married in Las Vegas |
NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck married Saturday in a late-night Las Vegas drive-through chapel, capping off a relationship that spanned two decades and featured on countless tabloid covers.
Lopez announced their marriage in a fan newsletter titled "We did it" on Sunday. Lopez first announced their engagement in April on the same newsletter, "On the J Lo."
"Love is lovely. Love is gentle. Love, it turns out, is patient. Twenty years of endurance, "Lopez wrote in an email signed Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
Lopez wrote that the couple flew to Las Vegas on Saturday, stood in line with four other couples for their licence, and were married shortly after midnight at the Little White Chapel, which boasts a drive-through "tunnel of love." Lopez claimed that a Bluetooth speaker played their brief procession down the aisle. She referred to it as the best night of their lives.
"Stay around long enough, and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at 12:30 a.m. in the tunnel of love drive through with your kids and the one you'll spend the rest of your life with," Lopez said.
The couple's wedding became public on Sunday after the Clark County clerk's office in Nevada revealed that they had obtained a marriage licence on Saturday. According to the marriage licence application, Lopez intends to take the name Jennifer Affleck.
Lopez and Affleck's representatives declined to comment.
Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, famously dated in the early 2000s, giving rise to the moniker "Bennifer," before rekindling their love last year. They previously appeared in Giggly in 2003 and Jersey Girl in 2004. They got engaged but never married around that time.
In 2005, Affleck married Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children. In 2018, they divorced.
Lopez has previously been married three times. She was married to Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998, and to Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003. She and singer Marc Anthony have been married for a decade, having married in 2004. They have 14-year-old twins.
The couple, who dated and got engaged in the early 2000s before splitting up and being apart for 17 years, rekindled their relationship last year.
"We did it," Lopez's fan newsletter, the J Lo, reported on Sunday. According to the account, the couple flew to Vegas and arrived at the chapel shortly before midnight to join four other couples in line.
"Two men held hands and held each other behind us. In front of us, a young couple who drove three hours from Victorville to celebrate their daughter's second birthday — all of us wanting the same thing — for the world to recognise us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage."
According to court records, the couple married on July 16 in Clark County, Nevada. Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were granted the licence.
"It was the best wedding we could have imagined," the couple said. "One we imagined a long time ago and made a reality."
"With the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie, and a jacket from Ben's closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave each other the rings we'll wear for the rest of our lives," according to the newsletter.
