Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Marry In Las Vegas
Jennifer Lopez has married partner Ben Affleck in Las Vegas, Nevada. Affleck and Lopez met when they co-starred in Gigli in 2003. The movie was a box office failure, but nonetheless brought the pair together. The couple were engaged by late 2002 and filmed another movie together, Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl, which was released in 2004. However, Affleck and Lopez had called off their nuptials by then and had moved on, with Lopez marrying actor and musician Marc Anthony and Affleck marrying his Daredevil co-star, Jennifer Garner.
Both Affleck and Lopez continued to have successful careers after their split, with Lopez starring in a long string of successful rom-coms, while also still pursuing her massive music career. Affleck would go on to become a director as well as a successful actor, helming the Best Picture winner Argo in 2012, before donning Batman's cape and cowl for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder's Justice League. Lopez's most recent films included the critically-acclaimed Hustlers and Hulu's Marry Me with Owen Wilson, while Affleck recently appeared in Ridley Scott's The Last Duel, George Clooney's The Tender Bar, and Adrian Lyne's Deep Water.
