'This is it for her': Jennifer Lopez's mom feels singer's marriage to Ben Affleck will 'last forever'
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are married now and the world cannot stop gushing over the fact. The Afflecks secretly married in a closed ceremony at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas and the singer broke the news with her newsletter "On The JLo". However, she might have to rework that name as she has dropped her last name. In her newsletter, she explained that love is patient, "20 years patient." This indicates the fact that the couple, after briefly dating in 2002, got back together and marries after 2 decades. They separated just to end up together. Many people believe that "this is it" and so does Jennifer's mother, Guadalupe “Lupe” Rodríguez.
During an episode of 'The View', Whoopi Goldberg kicked off with a heartfelt congratulations to the newly married couple, Jennifer & Ben Affleck. Ana Navarro also talked about the couple before passing it on to Sunny Hostin who explained that she has already had a talk with Jennifer's mother, Lupe. Hostin said, "I knew they would get back together. I knew that they were in love. I’ve spoken to her mother, Lupe, about it. Lupe has always said that Ben is her true love. They’re gonna live happily ever after, and that’s why she took his last name and she loves him. And that is it. This is it for her. She should have married him the first time.”

The 52-year-old singer wrote in her newsletter, "We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient. We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. 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)." Lopez's ex Alex Rodriguez also didn't have any hard feelings about his split with the singer and her subsequent marriage with the 'Gone Girl' actor. A source close to Us Weekly said, "He’s happy for her and happy that she’s with the person she’s meant to be with. He’s in a new relationship now and is happy as well. He’s traveling all over and living his best life. He’s really focused on family, his career, and what he’s got going on."
