Neatly 20 years after calling off their engagement shortly before their wedding, the couple, known far and wide as Bennifer, have obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas.
The duo obtained a marriage license listing their full names from Clark County, Nevada, over the weekend, according to court records. The records, which reveal that Lopez is legally changing her name to “Jennifer Affleck,” note that a marriage certificate has yet to be filed.
The two have yet to officially confirm that they’ve wed, but both TMZ and Entertainment Tonight report that they have indeed tied the knot.
Lopez announced their engagement in April by way of her fan newsletter “On the JLo,” where she debuted the first look at her ring, which features a giant green stone on a silver band.
“I was taken totally off guard and just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again,” she told fans via the newsletter. “I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said YES of course that’s a YES.”
“I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole,” she added.
Despite describing the proposal as “nothing fancy at all,” she said the moment was “the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined.”

Following their split, both stars wed different people and began families of their own. Affleck welcomed three children with then-wife Jennifer Garner. Lopez tied the knot with Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins; the two later divorced.
But the pair were pulled back together last April and rekindled their romance on the heels of high-profile breakups with their most recent exes, Ana de Armas and Alex Rodriguez.
Lopez told People magazine in February that she was grateful to have a “second chance” with Affleck, adding that she feels “so lucky and happy and proud to be with him.”
