The singer confirmed their quickie wedding in her “On The JLo” newsletter to fans, writing, “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” referencing their first engagement in the early aughts.
The pair’s five children joined their parents for photos.

“We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight,” she wrote. “They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).”
The newlyweds posed for pictures on a dock.

The duo was then spotted honeymooning in Paris where they enjoyed plenty of PDA.
A source previously told us Lopez and Affleck’s wedding festivities would be a multi-day affair. And as Page Six exclusively reported, their wedding was being planned by Colin Cowie.

J.Lo and Affleck got engaged for the second time in April with the “Argo” actor presenting Lopez with an 8.5-carat green diamond ring estimated to be worth up to $10 million.
In July, the pair eloped in Las Vegas.

The pair rekindled their romance in April 2021 shortly after she broke things off with fiancé Alex Rodriguez amid rumors he had cheated on her.
Affleck popped the question for the second time in April.

She and Affleck first started dating in 2002, with the public dubbing them “Bennifer,” and were quickly engaged. But they called things off two years later due to the media hysteria surrounding their relationship.
Lopez went on to marry singer Marc Anthony in June of the same year. She and Anthony share 14-year-old twins Max and Emme.
The couple enjoyed a romantic honeymoon in Paris.

Affleck, for his part, married Jennifer Garner in 2005 and they welcomed three children: daughters Violet and Seraphina, and son Samuel.
Both marriages ended in divorce and they both had high-profile relationships before reuniting as a couple. Lopez was engaged to A-Rod while Affleck dated “Knives Out” star Ana De Armas until they split in January 2021.
