The couple was called Bennifer

Twenty years after first becoming engaged, the couple, collectively known as Bennifer, wed in Las Vegas, with JLo casually confirming the news with followers and sharing beautiful images of their wedding day.

The following is a certification that the undersigned

Pastor Ryan Wolfe did, on July 17, 2022, at the Little White Wedding Chapel, 1301 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada, join in lawful wedlock: Benjamin Geza Affleck...and Jennifer Lopez...who wishes to use the name, Jeniffer Affleck.

In her wedding announcement, Jen, 53, previously referred to herself as Jennifer Affleck.

We did it. Love is lovely. It turns out love is a patient thing.

What we wanted, exactly

We took a flight to Vegas last night. Two men stood behind us, holding hands and cuddling. They waited in line for a wedding license alongside other couples who had also come to Vegas as it is known as the "Wedding Capital of the World."

The young couple in front of us drove the three hours from Victorville for their daughter's second birthday. They are making all efforts to be good parents.

She said they were correct when they said all you need is love. We are extremely appreciative to have that in abundance, a new, lovely family with five wonderful kids and a life with so much to look forward to.

Jennifer is head over heels in love

"If you stick around long enough, maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at 2:30 in the morning with your kids and the one you'll spend the rest of your life with. Love is a wonderful thing—possibly the best—worth all the wait.

Lopez ended the blog post using her full, newlywed name: Jennifer Lynn Affleck.

JLo and Ben, both 49, started dating in 2002 and became engaged in November of that same year. However, they decided to postpone their 2003 wedding and ultimately broke up in 2004.

The rekindled romance

They declared that they had rekindled their romance and sent fans into a tailspin, but they appear to have recovered well since then.

Jennifer has been married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony, with whom she has twin daughters Max and Emme, age 14. It is her fourth marriage overall.

Jennifer Garner, an actress, was Ben's former wife

Garner and Ben have three kids: Violet, 16; Seraphina, 13; and Samuel, ten years old.

The happy couple is on their honeymoon in Paris, where they have been photographed enjoying delicious meals and a romantic river cruise. JLo interrupted her vacation one night to perform at a charity gala.
