The couple tied the knot on Saturday in an “intimate ceremony in Las Vegas,” the source said.
Lopez confirmed their Vegas wedding in her newsletter on Sunday, ending the letter with a new name: Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
“Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same trip to the wedding capital of the world,” Lopez wrote. “We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They kindly stayed open a few minutes late, allowed us to take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, apparently once used by the King himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show up, it cost extra and he was in bed).”
Lopez wrote that she was wearing a dress from an old movie, while Affleck wore a jacket from his closet.
“We said our own vows in the little chapel and gave each other the rings we will wear for the rest of our lives,” she wrote. “In the end, it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined.”
Bennifer’s love saga is one more than 20 years in the making. The couple first met in December 2001 on the set of the romantic comedy Gigli, where they played criminals stuck at work together, and struck up a friendship in real life.
By November 2002, the two were engaged, but called off their wedding in September 2003, citing the “excessive media attention” surrounding their nuptials.
They never made it to the altar and officially called off their engagement in January 2004.
After that, it took another 17 years—with children and marriages—before Lopez and Affleck found their way back to each other.
Affleck proposed to Lopez again in April while she was soaking in a bubble bath.
“I was completely unprepared and I just looked into his eyes, smiling and crying at the same time, trying so hard to understand the fact that after 20 years this is happening again, I was literally speechless and he said: is this it? I said YES of course it is YES,” she wrote in her newsletter.
