“If they have had a ceremony, they join Vegas A-list couples such as Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley and Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward – and the numerous couples who make up the ‘Five Million Love Stories’ that make Las Vegas the Wedding Capital of the World. “We wish Mr Affleck and Ms Lopez the same enduring love story.”
As many fans know, Lopez and Affleck announced their engagement in April, 18 years after they originally called off their wedding. The singer and actress revealed the news in her OnTheJLo newsletter, where she shared a video of herself crying while admiring a huge green engagement ring. The clip opened with a close-up of the ring before panning up to Lopez’s face, where she appeared to wipe away tears.
Lopez had teased the “major announcement” with a video on Twitter and Instagram, in which she said: “I have a really exciting and special story to share…” and encouraged people to register for her newsletter. She also added a diamond ring emoji to her Twitter handle.
The marriage license comes a year after Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, 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 July 2002 and became engaged in November of that year. They were due to tie the knot in September 2003 but postponed the wedding just days before the ceremony. They ultimately called off their engagement in January 2004.
