Jennifer Lopez feeling ‘overwhelmed’ as she and Ben Affleck mark one-year wedding anniversary

Jennifer Lopez has said she feels “overwhelmed” as she and Ben Affleck mark their first wedding anniversary.

Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, enjoyed not one, but two wedding ceremonies last year.

The first came in July 2022 when the pair travelled to the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas to tie the knot with only their children present.

Lopez shares 15-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has Violet, 17, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 11, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Their second trip down the aisle together was on a larger scale with both friends and family and was held at Affleck’s home outside of Savannah, Georgia, the following month.

Marking their one-year wedding anniversary, the Jenny From The Block singer posted two previously unseen photos from their second wedding to her Instagram page, one showing Lopez in her wedding dress and veil as Affleck carries her in his arms.

The other photo shows the pair looking at fireworks on their wedding day.

The caption featured lyrics from Lopez’s upcoming song Dear Ben Part II and read: “One year ago today… Dear Ben, Sitting here alone, Looking at my ring ring, Feeling overwhelmed, It makes me wanna sing sing, How did we end up here, Without a rewind, Oh my, This is my life… Jennifer.”

The first instalment of Dear Ben was released in 2002 when the couple were engaged for the first time.

Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance following Affleck’s split from the actress Ana de Armas and Lopez’s break-up with baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

The Hollywood stars previously began dating in 2002 and got engaged that same year.

They were due to tie the knot in 2003 but postponed the wedding just days before the ceremony and ultimately called off their engagement in 2004.

Lopez confirmed she was back together with Affleck in an Instagram post for her 52nd birthday, when she shared a picture of them kissing.

Oscar-winner Affleck is best known for films such as Good Will Hunting, Argo and Gone Girl, while Lopez has an extensive career in music and film, including box office hits such as The Wedding Planner and Out Of Sight.
