Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially tied the knot.
The couple wedded on Saturday, July 16, during an “intimate ceremony in Las Vegas,” according to reports.
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 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck found their way back to one another.
Affleck proposed to Lopez again in April while she was soaking in a bubble bath.
She wrote in her newsletter;
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.
Details about their secret nuptials are still to be revealed but a copy of their marriage certificate, which they obtained in Clark County, Nevada on July 16, has been obtained and it offers a pretty huge reveal.
The license was made in both their names – Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez – but noticeably, Jennifer indicated that she would be taking on Ben’s last name too, ditching her maiden name Lopez to become – Jennifer Affleck.
