Lopez shares more details in newsletter
Though representatives for Lopez and Affleck did not comment, the singer-songwriter revealed more details about her wedding on July 17 in a newsletter to fans.
“We did it,” read the headline of the newsletter, which was signed Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
“Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” the 52-year-old wrote in the message, referring to the decades-long relationship she had with the 49-year-old Affleck.
According to Lopez, the couple had to wait in line for the license with four other couples. Their wedding happened just after midnight.
Lopez highlighted that the Little White Wedding Chapel has a “tunnel of love”.
“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 in the tunnel of love, drive through with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with,” said Lopez.
A long-awaited wedding
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were a hit pair in the early 2000s and starred together in films such as Gigli (2003) and Jersey Girl (2004). They were engaged around that time, but broke up in 2004.
