It seems like our fairy tale-ish dream of ours has finally come true. After making us wait for 20 long years, Jennifer Lopes and Ben Affleck have finally officially turned husband and wife. The couple officially “married in a Las Vegas-style wedding” on July 16 – only months after the news of their second engagement came to light. The love story shared between JLo, 52, and Ben, 49 covers a roller-coaster journey to the Altar that started 20 years before. To celebrate the completion of true love, here we bring you a compilation of the top 10 heart-warming pictures of the newlywed lovebirds Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck:
The love story of the love bird back in 2001, when they first met on the set of their first movie together. The filming of Gigli brought them together but at that time JLo was married to her second husband Chris Judd.
Soon the couple came too close and Jennifer decided to give divorce Chris. Within a week, Jen and Ben unwrapped their relationship and decided to come out in public.
The couple enjoyed every second of their relationship and then finally Ben decided to propose to Jen in November 2002. The actor popped the question with a custom-made Harry Winston Pink-diamond solitaire ring and Jennifer said yes to him without thinking twice.
The love affair of the couple was sailing smoothly until it got hit by a wave of rumors. The rumors claimed that Ben secretly visited a Vancouver strip club.
These rumors created differences between the couple and made them delay their wedding just a day before the grand ceremony. Not just the couple delayed the wedding but even served heartbreaking news of their break-up in January of 2004.
But they say true love never goes away. Same like that the couple again came close after Jennifer’s dramatic split from ex-MLB player Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez.
The couple again kept it under the wrap, until Ben made it official by posting mushy pictures of them kissing on his Instagram handle. At the Venice Film Festival in September, the pair made their first red carpet appearance since their break-up 20 years before.
Without wasting any more time, the couple announced their engagement just a month after making their relationship official. The mother-of-two revealed the news in her On the JLo newsletter after being photographed sporting her new ring.
Also in the same month, the couple purchased a $50 million mansion together. Their new home boasted a pool, courtyard, and a personal parking lot. The mansion was built in the 1930s and has about 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms. Outside the three-level building, the couple has a large infinity pool to take a dip in, gardens to be tended, and several fire pits. to keep themselves warm.
