On August 25, 2022, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez (JLo) tied the knot in a lavish three-day wedding at Ben’s stunning $8 million Georgia estate. While the wedding was a joyous occasion, it was also a reminder of why the two had not married before.
In his wedding speech, Ben reportedly told the guests that he and JLo had decided not to marry the first time around because they both wanted to make sure their respective children were taken care of first. JLo has two children, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, while Ben has three children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner.
Ben and JLo had been together since 2019, but they both wanted to make sure that their children were comfortable with the idea of them getting married before they took the plunge. They wanted to make sure that their children were ready for the changes that would come with their parents getting married.
In addition, Ben and JLo wanted to make sure that their respective families were comfortable with the idea of them getting married. Both of their families had been supportive of their relationship, but they wanted to make sure that everyone was on board before they took the next step.
Ultimately, Ben and JLo decided to wait until their children were ready and their families were comfortable with the idea of them getting married before they tied the knot. After two years of dating, they finally decided to make it official and get married.
It’s clear that Ben and JLo’s decision to wait to get married was the right one. They wanted to make sure that their children and families were comfortable with the idea of them getting married before they took the plunge. It’s a testament to their commitment to their families and their children that they waited until the time was right before they got married.
