Jennifer Lopez’s second wedding to Ben Affleck, the man she describes as the love of her life, took place more than five months ago now but when we meet her to talk about her latest romcom, Shotgun Wedding, she’s clearly still on a high.
Within minutes, our conversation turns to the Oscar-winning actor and the glowing star reveals he had organised every detail of their first ceremony.
Singer and actress Jennifer, 53, tied the knot with 50-year-old Ben not once but twice last year – in Las Vegas in July and then again at his mansion in Riceboro, Georgia, in August – and she proudly tells us her man did an “amazing” job of arranging their Vegas vows.

“He has an amazing eye and incredible taste,” she says, “and I think that’s why we ran off to Vegas! It took all the pressure off the big family wedding that we were having. But everything we do, we try to do it together. He planned the whole Vegas wedding.”
However, Jen didn’t let her new husband take control of arranging their second celebration, which was a much bigger affair with all their friends and family members present.
She says, “The big party, we did together. Planning a wedding is a lot. It’s a very stressful job, as you can see from this movie.”
The film in question is centred around Jen’s character Darcy and Tom, played by Josh Duhamel – a couple trying to gather their families for a destination wedding who come a cropper when the entire party gets taken hostage.
