Surprise! Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Get Hitched
Surprise! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have tied the knot.
Months after revealing their engagement in April 2022, the couple obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada, over the weekend, according to court records obtained by PEOPLE.
The duo then wed in a “small” ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel before midnight.
“It was super, super small. They just wanted to be married so they got married,” an insider told the magazine.
On Sunday Lopez shared a solo selfie in bed with the caption, “Sadie! #iykyk Go to OnTheJLo for all the deets,” referencing Funny Girl’s “Sadie, Sadie” lyrics. (“I’m Sadie, Sadie, married lady,” sings Fanny Brice in the show.)

She also shared details from her big day on her new website On The JLo.
“We read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives,” shared Lopez, who wore a white lace off-the-shoulder long sleeve bridal gown and matching veil with lace trim from Zuhair Murad. (In her newsletter, she also revealed she wore another look — “a dress from an old movie” — during the wedding festivities.)
“They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love’. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to,” continued Lopez.
Lopez, who indicated that she plans to use Affleck’s last name in a Clark County marriage license obtained by PEOPLE, signed her newsletter with “Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.”

Jennifer and Ben rekindled their romance last year. The singer/actress and actor / director were engaged back in 2002 but postponed their September 2003 wedding just days before their planned ceremony.
Lopez went on to wed ex-husband Marc Anthony whom she shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max. Affleck shares three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.
