BEN FINALLY WEDS. J.LO but he owes it all to Jen!

The actor's ex-wife has helped him turn his life around for the better

Jennifer Lopez is officially a wife for the fourth time after tying the knot with Ben Affleck in a drive-through ceremony at Las Vegas venue A Little White Wedding Chapel on July 16.

But it's his first wife, Jennifer Garner, who Ben has to thank for helping him get back on track, allowing him to find his happy-ever-after. In a touching move, the mother of Ben's children was the first to be snapped heading over to the couple's Los Angeles home to offer her well wishes on 17 July just one day after the secret ceremony!

Jen's visit speaks volumes of the tightly blended family the stars have worked hard to build together despite their split, with sources revealing "Jen is nothing but happy" for the newlyweds, who reportedly toasted their nuptials with pizza and Diet Coke on their private flight back to LA.

Between Ben and J.Lo, the pair have five children - the actor has Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with his ex Jen, while the singer, 52, shares twins Emme and Max, 14, with their father Marc Anthony.

Over the years, Ben, 49, has admitted he's "very grateful" to the Alias actress for supporting him to get sober - and in turn, helping him get his life back.
