Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in Las Vegas over the weekend, twenty years after their first wedding was called off in a haze of gambling, strippers and drama. I enjoy everything about the Bennifer Revival, and I?m loving all of the post-wedding gossip. As it turns out, some of Ben and J.Lo?s kids did go to the wedding, and it also sounds like everything was kept lowkey on purpose, because J.Lo?s focus was simply getting Ben down the aisle at long last. Page Six has more details, including why Violet Affleck stayed with her mom while Ben was getting married. Sources also confirm that Ben did tell Jen Garner about the wedding.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still on cloud nine after their surprise wedding in Las Vegas. The lovebirds celebrated, Page Six is told, with pizza and Diet Coke on a private jet back to LA in the early hours of Sunday morning.
And while J.Lo posted on her OnTheJLo newsletter Sunday that they were joined by their kids at the shock nuptials at a drive-through wedding chapel, Page Six is told that the only ones in attendance were Lopez?s child, Emme, 14, and Affleck?s Sera, 13. They have five kids in total between them. Emme has a twin brother, Max, and Affleck also shares Violet, 16, and Sam, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
While they were tying the knot Garner was soaking up the sun in Lake Tahoe over the weekend ? and gave no clue as to how she was feeling about it all.
?Ben did tell Jen about the wedding, but I?m told that it was only Friday at the earliest. It was very, very minimally planned in advance and was largely spur of the moment. Violet stayed home because she?s extremely loyal to her mom,? one well-placed Hollywood source told The Post.
As for why now, the Hollywood source added: ?[Lopez] has been ready to get married since the night that Ben proposed. She wanted to lock this down and remove any chance for cold feet ASAP!?
[From Page Six]
LMAO @ ?She wanted to lock this down and remove any chance for cold feet ASAP!? That?s been clear since he proposed. J.Lo didn?t want to do a long, drawn-out engagement and some big, fancy wedding. Because deep down, she knows that Ben would have found some way to sabotage himself and everything around him. Much easier to do something last-minute, spur of the moment and get it out of the way. I do hope that now that the legal part of it is done, Ben just? relaxes. He doesn?t have that self-sabotage trigger in the back of head waiting to go off. But we?ll see. As for Violet Affleck being ?loyal? to her mother? I have no idea what any of that is about, but I enjoy Seraphina and Emme?s cute little friendship. I wonder where Max was?
Here are some photos of newly-married J.Lo leaving an LA dance studio yesterday. Talk about no honeymoon! I still say that they?ll do something around Ben?s birthday, probably. I?m hoping for another yacht trip.

Jennifer Lopez finally got Ben Affleck down the aisle, twenty years after they called off their first wedding. She was patient, but honestly, I?m not trying to make this sound like Ben is her hostage or anything. Ben is all about J.Lo. He adores her and he wanted this and he managed to not sabotage himself or this relationship so far, so a win is a win. As I suspected, part of the reason Ben didn?t self-sabotage before the wedding was because the whole ?let?s elope in Vegas? thing was spur of the moment.
E! News has learned exclusive details about the couples exchange of vows. It was very spur of the moment, a source close to Lopez tells E! News. They have a bigger official ceremony planned but wanted this moment for their immediate family.
Ben and Jen exchanged rings and vows, but it was a typical fun Vegas wedding, the insider adds of the ceremony, which took place at Sin Citys A Little White Wedding Chapel. They loved it. It was really special and nothing fancy.
The sources also notes that Lopez is ecstatic that she is finally Mrs. Affleck, also telling E! News, Ben and Jen are completely obsessed with each other and fully think it was meant to be.
[From E! News]
I think it was meant to be as well! J.Lo is very big into fate and soulmates and such, and maybe Ben is a little bit like that too. As for the rumors of a larger wedding or reception at a later date, a source says that it will happen:
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will host a larger wedding celebration with friends and family after their surprise weekend wedding in Las Vegas, a source tells PEOPLE.
On Sunday, Lopez, 52, revealed on her On the JLo newsletter that she and Affleck, 49, tied the knot at A Little White Chapel. She wrote, So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Bens closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings well wear for the rest of our lives, adding that the ceremony was exactly what we wanted.
A source tells PEOPLE that the newlyweds plan on having a bigger party so they can celebrate with family and friends. They dont have a honeymoon planned yet. Jennifer says that every day with Ben is a honeymoon, the source says.
Ever since they started dating again, Jennifer has truly believed that this is it. She is looking forward to growing old with Ben, adds the source. She is very happy and content with Ben. She couldnt ask for anything else. She thinks its all perfect.
[From People]
If Ben had said ?let?s elope in a Kansas barn,? J.Lo would have been booking her tickets within five minutes. Again, the Vegas elopement worked out because it was sudden, because Ben didn?t have time to crash and burn. But it?s fine. Now that?s done and dusted, I think they?ll both relax, don?t you? I can?t wait to see how over-the-top the second wedding or reception will be. Come on, she?s still J.Lo? even if she?s technically Jennifer Affleck now.
PS? I bet they arrange their honeymoon around a ?birthday trip? to celebrate everything together. Maybe they?ll get a yacht again! Ass Rubbing Szn is upon us!!!

Two Leos got married on Sunday. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finally did it!! They got married in Las Vegas! They obtained a marriage license on Saturday in Clark County, then on Sunday, they went to A Little White Chapel, the infamous wedding venue in Vegas. Jennifer changed her name legally on the wedding documents too, she?s now Jennifer Affleck. Ben proposed to J.Lo (as she was back then) in April of this year with what was reportedly a pale green diamond. There were rumors about how Bennifer wanted a smallish, no-drama wedding and I guess they made it happen.
At long last, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have said, I Do! A source tells ET that the Marry Me actress and The Tender Bar star tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony over the weekend.
Jen and Ben got married in Vegas. They have so much fun together and thought this would be a fun idea too. Ben is absolutely in love with Jen and feels loved by her too. They both feel so comfortable with each other and like they share history and know each other so well, the source shared.
They feel like they are in the same place in life now and relate to each other on another level. Ben feels younger around Jen and like she brings out his best self. He loves that he doesnt have to try very hard and can just be himself. Jen loves being around Ben no matter what they are doing, the source continued. Adding, She thinks Ben is an incredible partner and father. She celebrates him for the good and they are both really there for each other. Theyre so excited to make more memories together and have more adventures, both as a couple and as a family.
While very few details on their nuptials are known at this time, a rep for the Las Vegas wedding destination, A Little White Chapel, confirmed to ET that Lopez and Affleck were married at A Little White Chapel Vegas.
[From ET]
What bugs me is that it doesn?t seem like their kids were there at all? It sounds like they maybe ran off to Vegas for the weekend at the spur of the moment and left their kids at home? They have five children from previous marriages. Oh well. Edit: OK, apparently there were photos of at least a couple of the kids there, nevermind! Im glad some of the kids were included, if not all of the kids.
Because she?s amazing, Jennifer Affleck posted a bunch of wedding photos onto her newsletter, On the J.Lo. The newsletter went out last night, hours after the wedding. She wanted to give her fans some details about her two dresses in particular. The sleeveless dress is one she?s had for years, something simple and likely vintage she?s been holding onto because she loved it. Then for the ceremony, she changed into a Zuhair Murad dress with lace sleeves. You can see a full-length photo of the Murad here. Ben wore a white tux from his closet too. Anyway, congrats to the crazy Afflecks. Twenty years later, they finally got married. Bonkers.

Those of you who read me regularly know I have an uneasy relationship with sleep. Jennifer Lopez knows what I?m going through. She once turned her back on sleep to work more. But it took its toll on both her mental health and appearance. Not only did it lead to paralyzing anxiety attacks, J.Lo finds that the more sleep she gets, the more she sees it in her face. She calls sleep her ?little time machine? and claims to wake up looking younger when she gets 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
Jennifer Lopez is getting real about an underrated beauty secret: sleep.
In an excerpt from the actress and singers newsletter, On the JLo, she opened up about how a panic attack led her to realize the importance of getting her enough shut-eye ? as well as leading her to prioritize mindfulness and a work-life balance.
We don?t value sleep, she wrote. We value grinding and working hard ? and admittedly, nobody gets caught up in that rat race more than me. Ive found however, that sleep to me is the most underrated beauty secret out there.
?There was a time in my life where I used to sleep 3 to 5 hours a night, she explained. Id be on set all day and in the studio all night and doing junkets and filming videos on the weekends. I was in my late 20s and I thought I was invincible.
That all changed when she went from feeling totally normal in her trailer to feeling unable to move.
I was completely frozen, she said. I had made my work such an all-consuming priority and let my own self-care needs go completely (even as simple as sleeping or taking ten minutes to just relax). I found myself feeling physically paralyzed, I couldnt see clearly and then the physical symptoms I was having started to scare me and the fear compounded itself.
Lopez, 52, said she now knows it was a classic panic attack brought on by exhaustion, but admitted that at the time she didnt have words to describe it.
My security guard on set came in and picked me up and drove me to the doctor, she wrote. By the time I got there, I could at least speak again and I was so terrified I thought I was losing my mind. I asked the doctor if I was going crazy. He said, No, youre not crazy. You need sleep get 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night, dont drink caffeine, and make sure you get your workouts in if youre going to do this much work. I realized how serious the consequences could be of ignoring what my body and mind needed to be healthy ? and thats where my journey to wellness began.
As I slept more and took care of myself, I realized it was about pro-living versus anti-aging, Lopez said.
I think of sleep like a little time machine, she continued. You lay down and you go into a space where you preserve yourself and then you come out a new, younger person than you were before. Sometimes I wake up and say, Wow! I just lost 10 years off my face! Thats what a good nights sleep can do for you, and it accumulates over time.
[From Yahoo]
It?s not that I don?t believe what J.Lo is saying, it?s just that I don?t need something else stressing me out when I?m trying to go to sleep. I know I look better after a good night?s sleep. The bags under my eyes get so dark, I constantly walk around looking post-op from a nose job. Fortunately, I live in LA so I blend in. I remember Julia Roberts once said to always wear mascara because it makes, ?you look like you?ve had a good nap,? which is another way of saying that sleep is a great beauty tip. People like CB, who naps regularly, and J.Lo who gets her full night?s sleep, always look refreshed. And just like days and weeks of not sleeping show on a face, as J.Lo said above, sleep accumulates. Good sleep patterns benefit the whole you.
I love J.Lo?s comment about looking at it as pro-living vs. anti-aging, too. Because it does affect more than just your skin. I don?t have anxiety but the closest I get is at night. I have stress dreams that wake me up and prevent me from falling back asleep. Maybe that is a form of anxiety that I haven?t explored yet. I?m on a three-day stretch of insomnia from stress dreams right now. And it?s physically obvious, like J.Lo mentioned. Only, I?m not sure how to get those 7-9 hours she?s talking about. I guess I could cutout all caffeine, but I don?t really drink that much, and I don?t drink any after noon. I?ve been working out every day and my diet is the best it?s been in a over a year. So I guess I just need J.Lo?s millions and Ben Affleck to give me a green diamond to get a good night?s sleep?

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Halftime, her Netflix documentary (which drops next week). Halftime was mostly filmed in 2020-21, when she was preparing her Super Bowl Halftime performance, performing at President Biden?s inauguration, ending things with Alex Rodriguez and starting up with Ben Affleck. I honestly can?t wait to watch it!
J.Lo?s look at the premiere was Tom Ford. I hate this! I love J.Lo, I love Tom Ford, but this wasn?t a great collab. She wanted to look sophisticated and sexy, but the sheer paneling looks so fking cheap. The dress doesn?t fit her properly either her boobs are jammed in there and you can tell it?s too tight at the waist. Her jewelry is Lorraine Schwartz giant, jawdropping earrings, my god.
Jennifer is 52 years old soon to be 53 and she told Entertainment Tonight that she believes she is in the ?halftime? of her life: I keep saying that. Its so funny, we were talking about this today, Champions are made in the 3rd and 4th quarter. That?s when you win! I feel like there?s a lot left for me. So, Im very excited about it. I do think its just halftime.? She was asked about Ben Affleck who was not there? and their engagement and she said ?it?s a beautiful moment.? Ben was interviewed on camera in the documentary, but in the trailer, there?s no A-Rod. Did she get him edited out? I can?t wait to see!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got engaged in April. While J.Lo hilariously gave her newsletter subscribers the exclusive information about Ben?s proposal, for the most part, Bennifer?s engagement has been pretty lowkey this time around. Whenever I see photos of them, they?re just walking in Brentwood or looking at real estate. There hasn?t been any over-the-top public energy, positive or negative. I think me and the J.Lovers are just sort of holding our breaths and waiting for Ben to fk it all up. But according to Us Weekly, Jennifer suddenly wants their wedding to be a big extravaganza. Are you sure about that, babe?
Wedding bells for Bennifer! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are closer to walking down the aisle than you might think.
?Jennifer will tell you she?s not in a rush to get married, but her friends think otherwise,? a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. ?The truth is that if Ben wanted to push this forward as early as this summer, she?d be totally down with that.?
The insider added that the Marry Me star, 52, ?wants the formalities out of the way so they can start their journey as man and wife sooner rather than later,? and she intends to have a big wedding.
?She definitely wants a spectacular celebration at some point and money won?t be an object!? the source continued. ?They?re both committed to making this work and taking all the steps necessary to respect each other?s boundaries and learn from their mistakes the last time around.?
[From Us Weekly]
Just a few months after they got back together, her people were fully briefing the media about how this time was different, how they?ve both learned and grown up and how this time, they were going to be together forever. Maybe they both genuinely feel that way! I think Ben adores her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her, truly. But I also think Ben gets itchy and he loves to sabotage everything in his life periodically. One of the best ways to make Ben itchy is to suddenly and publicly exert pressure on him to move up the ?spectacular celebration? wedding. Our girl wants fireworks, a People Magazine cover, a Vogue editorial and a public demonstration from Ben. Ben is going to end up knee-deep in Las Vegas strippers if she keeps this up.

OMG it?s happening, J.Lovers! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez really are engaged. Re-engaged. A second engagement! Let?s hope Ben doesn?t mess it up for us/her. As I said last week, this is pretty much the one-year anniversary of Ben and J.Lo getting back together. It makes sense to me that they would consciously wait one year to get engaged. Of course, I also think Ben proposed a while ago, maybe a few weeks ago? I wonder why she waited to announce it. But announce it she did.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are ready to get married! The pair ? who rekindled their romance last year ? is engaged, a rep for Lopez confirms to PEOPLE. Lopez shared the news in her On the JLo newsletter days after she was photographed wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring earlier this week.
She revealed the exciting update in a Friday evening email to her inner circle. The message to fans included a clip of Lopez admiring a huge, green stone on a silver band on her ring finger, an image of which was also shared by her sister Lynda on social media.
The If You Had My Love singer once raved about green being her favorite color in a previous newsletter. Ive realized there are many moments in my life where amazing things happened when I was wearing green, she shared. Maybe you can remember a certain green dress.
Lopez teased the major announcement with a video on Twitter that same night. So I have a really exciting and special story to share Lopez told her followers. She also added a diamond ring emoji to her Twitter handle.
[From People]
Yeah she was so thrilled to be able to announce it. I can?t believe she announced it to her OnTheJLo site for true-blue J.Lovers. She?s such a cheeseball. Anyway, this time, Ben got her a green stone. Jen is apparently all about the color green these days and she only recently realized that the color green brings her good luck (for me it?s blue and red) and whenever she wears green, good things happen to her. As for the stone? green diamonds exist, of course, and many of them have that pale green color seen on her ring. But I?m kind of wondering if this is a different kind of stone. Perhaps a peridot? Her birth month is August, and peridot is the birthstone for August. No one is quite sure, but if it is a green diamond, then Ben spent A LOT on it. (note: I actually am starting to suspect it IS a green diamond.)
Major announcement!!!! https://t.co/G5oGxtX0z5 pic.twitter.com/HTIqbHMJ2M

Jennifer Lopez has found herself back in LA, after the set of her latest film production had to shutdown because of a massive Covid outbreak. In the new year, J.Lo traveled to Spain for the production of The Mother. The production was shut down last week, and J.Lo boarded a private plane back to LA.
So what does J.Lo do when she unexpectedly finds herself with free time? She takes her daughter Emme out shopping at the Grove, and they got some ice cream. Jen and Emme were out together all weekend, and J.Lo had at least three big costume changes. And Emme? did not. Emme was rocking her oversized overalls (I call them ?bibs?) all weekend.
I honestly love Emme and J.Lo?s mother-daughter aesthetic. I find it charming. J.Lo is all glam and costume changes and ?I?m going to make maxi skirts happen? and shopping excursions in high-heeled black boots and aviator glasses. Meanwhile, Emme is like ?my bibs are so comfortable, I love pairing them with an oversized sweater.? Emme is all about shapeless fashion, granny style, androgyny. What?s cool is that J.Lo just accepts that this is Emme?s style, and maybe it?s a phase and maybe not, but it?s fine. She?s gonna let Emme be Emme.
PS? I really dislike J.Lo?s fringed Chanel purse, it?s fug! That jean maxi skirt is so unflattering too.

Ben Affleck and Guadalupe Rodriguez have always been buds. During Bennifer 1.0, J.Lo?s mom adored Ben and they often went out gambling together. When Ben and Jen got back together in the spring of 2021, one of the first signs that this revival was the real deal was when Ben made a work trip to Las Vegas, and he brought Guadalupe with him (she ended up being in the gambling-app commercial Ben filmed in Vegas). Sources also insisted that Guadalupe was ?thrilled? that her daughter and Ben were giving it another shot, and that Ben was and is her favorite of all of J.Lo?s partners. So, funny story: Guadalupe has moved in, and she?s doing the most to ensure that the Bennifer Revival keeps happening.
Three is not a crowd when it comes to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Sources tell Star the singer?s mother, Guadalupe Rodrguez, has moved in with them!
?They love having her around,? says an insider. ?She?s always doing special little things to make their house a home.? Turns out the 76-year-old has been a big fan of Ben since Bennifer 1.0.
?Lupe always wanted J.Lo to marry him and was so sorry when they split up the first time,? says the insider, adding that those close to her suspect she prefers Ben to Jennifer?s ex, Alex Rodriguez. ?She?d love to see them get married at last.?
To that end, the former school worker has been spoiling the pair by cooking and cleaning up a storm. ?She?s making her wonderful Latin dishes like fried pork chops, rice and veggies,? adds the insider. ?The kitchen smells so good and homey.? And she?s no pushy monster-in-law type: ?She doesn?t hover when they need some alone time!?
[From Star Magazine, print edition, January 10, 2022]
I mean, Ben and Jen aren?t living together they?re maintaining separate residences, but obviously, they spend a lot of time at each other?s homes. They have been looking at real estate though, so maybe they will cohabitate officially soon enough. My point is that I think it?s more like Guadalupe probably lives with J.Lo, and Ben probably loves having her around and he loves visiting Jen?s house partly because of Guadalupe. Ben really was ?the one who got away? for both mother and daughter, huh? It?s sweet.

Autumnal Bennifer was stretching into Winter Bennifer and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Then Ben appeared on Howard Stern?s SiriusXM show in December and all hell broke loose. Ben?s quotes about addiction and his marriage to Jen Garner did not land well he said, in various ways, that he felt trapped in his marriage to Garner, that if he was still with Garner, he would still be drinking, and he definitely left the impression that he blamed his *marriage* for his alcoholism. When Ben tried to clarify the comments, he said it was all ?clickbait? (no, he was accurately quoted) and incidentally, he looked and sounded completely baked during that Jimmy Kimmel interview.
The point is that Ben is a chronic self-saboteur and whenever things are going too well for him, historically he begins to self-sabotage. So I was interested to see what the reaction would be from J.Lo. At first, sources claimed that J.Lo was mad about Ben?s mess, then Lopez directly denied those tabloid reports and said she was not mad at Ben at all. Over the holidays, they spent a lot of time together with their kids, and everything seems back on the Bennifer schedule:
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez celebrated the holidays surrounded by family. The actor, 49, spent time with his children ? daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 12, and son Samuel, 9, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner ? on Christmas Eve in Los Angeles, a source tells PEOPLE.
The following day, the Argo star celebrated Christmas with Lopez, her children and his mother. The singer shares twins Max and Emme, both 13, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
It was a pretty quiet holiday for them. They really enjoyed it after a busy fall, the insider adds.
Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance in April before going Instagram official in July for the singers birthday. A source previously told PEOPLE they are in it for the long run.
[From People]
I assume this means Garner had the kids on Christmas Day and so Ben did ?Christmas? with the kids on Christmas Eve, then spent Christmas Day with J.Lo, Emme and Max. Where is Marc Anthony in all of this? Was he there too, or was he spending time with some of his other kids? Anyway, at one point, I thought that we would perhaps get a Christmas proposal from Bennifer, but I do think that Ben?s Stern interview set back the schedule a bit. Maybe a Valentine?s Day proposal? Hm.
Here are photos of Ben and Jen on December 30 in Bel Air.
