Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially tied the knot, a source close to Lopez tells CNN.
The couple wed Saturday, during an “intimate ceremony in Las Vegas,” the source said.
The Bennifer love saga is one that’s been more than 20 years in the making. The couple initially met in December 2001 on the set of the rom-com “Gigli,” where they played criminals stuck on a job together and the pair struck up a real-life friendship.
By November 2002, the two were engaged, but postponed their wedding in September 2003 citing “the excessive media attention” surrounding their wedding.
They never made it down the aisle and officially called off their engagement in January 2004.
It then took another 17 years — with children and marriages — before Lopez and Affleck found their way back to one another.
Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005, with whom he shares three children. They divorced in 2018.
Lopez has been married three times before. She was briefly married to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998 and to Cris Judd from 2001-2003. She and singer Marc Anthony were married for a decade after wedding in 2004 and share 14-year-old twins together.
Affleck proposed to Lopez again in April while she was soaking in a bubble bath. In April, Lopez made their engagement public in a video posted to her fans showing off a green engagement ring.
“I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again, I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES,” she wrote in her newsletter.
The marriage license filing showed that Lopez plans to take the name Jennifer Affleck.
