In 2002, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s love story captured the world’s imagination. The wildly photogenic couple were engaged, but split in 2004 before making it down the aisle, going their separate ways and eventually meeting other people. Fast forward to 2021, and the “Bennifer” flame was reignited—news that was confirmed via Instagram (as you do). In the summer of 2022, they exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas – followed by a bigger celebration in Georgia. Now, on the first anniversary of that celebration, J Lo has returned to IG to honor the milestone with a heartfelt poem and some previously unseen snapshots of the celebrations.

In her latest Instagram post, Lopez shared two photos from her wedding day with Affleck. In one image, the beaming lovebirds are dressed in all-white attire (except for Ben’s bowtie) for the ceremony, radiating joy as they hold each other. The following photo captures them sharing a kiss during the evening reception, with a backdrop of fireworks lighting up the sky. Beyond the touching visuals, the singer and Marry Me actor added a poem dedicated to her husband: “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.”

A few weeks ago, the pair were spotted at the restaurant Giorgio Baldi, a favorite among A-listers, enjoying a date night to celebrate the anniversary of their Vegas ceremony. Lopez donned a white minidress adorned with crystals and silver platform sandals, while Affleck appeared in a sleek all-black ensemble, including satin trousers and polished leather lace-ups. Even after 21 years, the Bennifer is as compelling as ever.
