After their engagement in April, fans have been anticipating Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage news. The 52-year-old actress shared the news to her fans through her email news letter, accompanied by photos and her new name, Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
The pair’s epic romance actually did not begin a few months ago, but rather 20 years ago! They were originally together engaged in 2002 and 2003 but never made it down the aisle citing media attention as one of the obstacles to their unity.
“Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,”
Jennifer Lynn Affleck in her announcement letter.
Jennifer’s Advice
Filing for a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada, the couple were married at the Drive-in Little White Wedding Chapel, a landmark of Las Vegas, around 12am. Lopez wore “a dress from an old movie,” and Affleck wore a jacket from his closet.
J-Lo let everyone know that she cites the moment as perfect and the happiest day of her life. She shared her insight and advice for her fans in her letter as well as an Instagram post to celebrate!
“Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.”
