Jennifer Lopez celebrates her 53rd birthday in Paris with Ben Affleck

Happy birthday, Jennifer Lopez!

The singer turned 53 on Sunday and marked her special day by enjoying a romantic stroll in Paris with her new husband Ben Affleck.

The newlyweds looked smitten as they were spotted cuddling up close as they strolled outside the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel and the Louvre courtyard on Sunday.

The birthday girl – who also launched her new body balm JLo Body on Sunday – turned heads in a stunning red dress with a halter neckline. She completed the look with a matching bag and high top nude pumps.

Meanwhile, Affleck, 49, kept it smart and casual, wearing dark trousers and a blue button-down shirt.

We’re told Lopez and Affleck are staying at the Hôtel de Crillon on the Champs-Élysées, home to the iconic fashion district on the right bank of the Seine.

An eyewitness told Page Six that the two strolled through the Jardin des Tuileries, popped into LouLou Paris for lunch and checked out Dior’s new fashion showroom called La Galerie Dior.

One night before, the lovebirds also enjoyed a romantic dinner in the City of Light. We’re told they dined at the Plénitude rooftop restaurant at the Hotel Cheval Blanc and stopped for ice cream at Berthillon on Île Saint-Louis on the way home.

The romantic-looking getaway followed Bennifer 2.0’s Las Vegas wedding on July 16 at A Little White Chapel. Minister Ryan Wolfe, who officiated the wedding, exclusively told Page Six that Affleck “gasped” as his blushing bride walked down the aisle.

“He was watching her walk down the aisle and you could tell he was like, ‘Whoa, whoa,'” Wolfe told us. “You could tell he was definitely in the moment.”

Lopez confirmed that she had married Affleck through her newsletter “On the JLo” a day after their intimate wedding.

“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years of patience,” she wrote, describing the ceremony as “Exactly what we wanted.”

The two stars met in 2002 on the set of 2003’s Gigli, while Lopez was still married to her second husband, Chris Judd. The “Hustlers” star filed for divorce from Judd in July 2002, around the same time she and Affleck were first seen making out in public.

Lopez and Affleck got engaged just months later, but eventually split in January 2004 before rekindling their romance last year.

Between their whirlwind early romance and the two tying the knot this month, Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005, while Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in 2004.

Lopez gave birth to twins Emme and Maximilian in 2008 before divorcing Anthony in 2014.

Not long after, Affleck and Garner, who share children Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, divorced in 2015.
