The couple tied the knot Saturday, according to a
marriage license they filed in Clark County, Nevada, that was seen by AFP.
It lists the parties to the nuptials as Affleck,
Benjamin Geza, and Lopez, Jennifer and gives the latter’s “new name” as
Affleck, Jennifer.
The pair — he is 49 and she is 52 — first met on the
set of the widely panned movie “Gigli” in 2002.
They became a media sensation as they dated but
postponed their planned 2003 nuptials, then announced their relationship was
over in early 2004.
“Bennifer” — the
couple’s public nickname from their first highly publicized relationship — set
the internet alight last year when photos of them together again began
circulating.
Lopez and Affleck announced their engagement in
April.
Lopez posted a video of herself appearing emotional
and admiring a green ring in her newsletter, “On The JLo.” US media reported
that the ring was an emerald-cut pale green diamond.
This is the fourth marriage for Lopez and the second
for Affleck.
Lopez discussed her renewed relationship with
Affleck in an interview with People in February.
“It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second
chance,” she said.
Lopez was previously married to actor Ojani Noa,
dancer Cris Judd and singer Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 14-year-old
twins Max and Emme.
Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner and
they are the parents of Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.
The gossip news outlet TMZ said the couple have been
“seemingly inseparable” since they got back together, shopping together for a
house and sometimes bringing their kids along.
TMZ said that last month Lopez’s car was seen
outside a huge mansion in Beverly Hills, with several moving trucks outside it
and also at each of their current homes.
Of the wedding, TMZ put it this way: “They did it like a
couple of kids looking to elope, saying “I do” out in the desert.”
