The marriage marked Lopez’s fourth wedding, following Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony. Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with Anthony.

Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner. Together, they share 18-year-old Violet, 15-year-old Seraphina and 12-year-old Samuel.

Lopez and Affleck first began dating back in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli, the first of two movies they would star in together (the second being Jersey Girl in 2004), before getting engaged. The couple delayed their planned 2003 wedding before calling it quits in 2004.

Nearly two decades later, the couple rekindled their romance in 2021. Just a month after the couple officially tied the knot in Las Vegas, Bennifer celebrated their marriage in August 2022 in front of family and friends at their home in Riceboro on the Hampton Island preserve outside of Savannah, Georgia.
