In Hollywood, there's always something new and exciting to talk about. One recent news was the marriage between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who announced their engagement in a surprise ceremony on Saturday, March 24th. The pair has been dating for over two years now, after meeting through mutual friends and going public with their relationship last year.
It's not surprising that the couple got married in such a secretive way considering they were so long-term together. They met at the Venice Film Festival in 2017 when Affleck was attending the premiere of his movie "Gravity." Lopez, on the other hand, has been dating singer and actor Alex Rodriguez since 2019.
The engagement news came as a surprise to many people who may have assumed that the couple would get married sooner or later. But it's only natural for them to want to take things slow and really commit to each other. And while this is definitely going to be a beautiful wedding, Affleck has said that he doesn't care about how people view their relationship as long as they are happy together.
The wedding itself took place at the actor's Los Angeles home on Saturday evening. The couple's friends and family members were there in attendance to celebrate with them. And as we all know, when two celebrities get married it's always interesting to see what they can do together behind closed doors.
So far, Affleck has been pretty hands off when it comes to the relationship of his friend and fiancée. But one thing that is clear is that this couple is going to be a force for good in Hollywood for years to come. They've been working on different projects together and have shown that they can balance their careers with each other without any issues.
In fact, the two actors were even seen hugging as they walked down the aisle at their secret wedding. And while some people may wonder what this means for their professional lives, Affleck has already said he's focused on his acting career and will continue to do so.
So why was Ben Affleck surprised by Jennifer Lopez's engagement? Well, it turns out that the reason behind her proposal is actually quite a bit more complicated than most people thought. According to "In Touch Weekly," Lopez had originally planned to propose in front of the whole world and show it off on social media.
But after she realized that Affleck was going to be traveling for his movie "The Tender Bar" and wouldn't be able to attend their wedding, she decided to hold off on the proposal until a later date. This led to some confusion when it came time for her to propose during the wedding ceremony, but luckily Lopez didn't have to worry about the reaction because Affleck was there to see it happen.
So while we may not know how long Affleck and Lopez will be together as a married couple, it's clear that they are going to be an inspiration for many in Hollywood for years to come. And with their recent marriage, it seems like the power couple just got even more strong.
