The two lovebirds, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, are officially married as the actress confirmed in the Sunday, July 17 edition of "On The JLo" newsletter. The couple got back together after dating from 2001 to 2004. 20 years later, their hardcore romance is now recognized by the law. Now, they're officially married as they both read their wedding vows and said "I do." The duo marked July 16 as their wedding date and chose Clark County, NV, to be their spot, with the legal documents having their real names on them - Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

The 52-year-old singer and actress began writing in the newsletter, "Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us, two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three-hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage. We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight."

JLo continued explaining that the chapel was generous enough to stay up for a little longer. She explained how she wore a dress from an old movie as she read her wedding vows with the man of her dreams, with a special shoutout to the famous pink convertible. She continued, "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). But in the end, it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible, and one another) at very, very long last."

JLo & Affleck - A dream come true

As fans shipped for "Bennifer" back in 2004, the dream was short-lived. In order to move on, JLo married Marc Anthony in 2004, and Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005, respectively. JLo split up with Marc in 2014, and Affleck divorced Garner in 2018. Both the ex-lovers had suffered failed marriages. But the void seemed to have been filled when they got back together in 2021. Of course, nobody anticipated the pair to get married this soon. A month ago, the actress/singer took to her Instagram to wish Affleck a happy father's day with a special tribute. The PDA was prominent but the marriage date was not confirmed, and this close wasn't all the way out there.

The newsletter had a bunch of photos of herself and Affleck, mostly candid. She even shared a video of her now-husband getting ready in a small pink bathroom. She continued writing, “They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love.'” Lopez continued. "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. 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.” She signed off using her official name, saying, "With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.” She then posted a picture on her Instagram account showing off her wedding ring as well as redirecting her fans to the newsletter with the link of the same in the caption.
