Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez dress like bride and groom at Marry Me premiere

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck looked like they could be ready to run down the aisle for an impromptu wedding as they put on their best outfits to attend the premiere of new film Marry Me.

Jenny from the block, 52, stunned at a special screening of her latest film at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles on Tuesday night wearing a white lace gown by Giambattista Valli.

While Ben, 49, looked smart-casual in a suit, overcoat and wearing a white shirt without a tie as he cosied up to his beloved at her premiere.

The couple looked like they could be preparing to swap vows themselves in a low-key wedding as they attended there event in support of the new romantic comedy co-starring Owen Wilson.

Ben and Jen are nearing their one-year re-anniversary after sensationally reuniting last year after 17 years apart.

The pair had a hugely high profile relationship from mid-2002 to early 2004 when they even became engaged but broke off their wedding at the last second due to over-interest from paparazzi – and with their relationship crumbling soon after.

But last April, the flames of passion were reignited again for the couple after they both became single after Ben’s 13-year marriage to Jennifer Garner collapsed and JLo’s engagement to sportsman Alex Rodriguez ended abruptly.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Jennifer has reflected on her and Ben’s romance the first time around and how painful it was to be the subject of jokes and mockery.

She said: “It was brutal. It’s one of those things that you bury very deeply so you can move on and get about your business.

“It’s funny because Ben and I were together, and we were so in love. It was one of the happiest times of my life.

“But also, there was this other thing happening where we were being criticised, and it really destroyed our relationship from the inside out, because we were just too young to understand at that time what were really the most important things in life.”

The couple have kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight since reuniting last April – with the pair taking blacked out cars to each others’ houses in LA and enjoying trips to secluded homes elsewhere in the world.

Meanwhile a source told US Weekly last year that the couple: “feels like they’ve been together again for years, not months.”

And that: "as far as they’re both concerned, they’re just blessed to have found each other and discovered true love".

While another source told the publication: "They’re fully committed to taking the next steps and spending the rest of their lives together.

“There’s not a single doubt in their mind[s] that this is [not] going to work."
