No one expected that the well-known couple would celebrate just a simple wedding. However, it could be very simple in the eye of some people, but for them, it was an intimate marriage full of love.
The now Mrs Affleck also said, "We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children."
On the 17th of July 2022, the Clark County clerk's office in Nevada revealed that JLo and Ben Affleck obtained a marriage license. With this, the couple became Mr and Mrs Affleck.
Their quick process became known to the public right after it was signed off by the official. The couple then rushed their nuptials and held a small ceremony in the same state.
Concerning this, the marriage licence filing showed that Lopez was taking the name Jennifer Affleck.
As Mrs Affleck, Jennifer told fans, "Stick around long enough, and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at 12.30 in the morning and at the tunnel of love drive-through, with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things – and worth waiting for."
