Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck call off their wedding
Even Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are tired of hearing the rumors about their marriage. Hollywood's hottest couple announced on Wednesday that their long-awaited union has been postponed. Ben and J.Lo, nicknamed "Bennifer", explained that they did not want media overexposure at their nuptials, which were initially planned this weekend in the Santa Barbara area.
"Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date. When we started to consider hiring three? Bogus? at three different locations we realized something was wrong, ”the couple said in a joint statement from their respective agents.
Us Weekly magazine had reported that the ceremony and reception were to take place at Sotto Il Monte, a private property in Montecito, near Santa Barbara. But Access Hollywood, Extra and Entertainment Tonight said on Wednesday they had decided to hold the ceremony at a later date, and possibly at a different location. The couple's agents did not immediately comment on this information. Previous rumors had set the wedding in Hawaii, Atlanta and Scotland. Ben Affleck himself teased reporters by telling them, “It's in Namibia on November 15th. So go ahead and we'll meet you there ”.
Two weeks ago, their couple had been put to the test by the presence of Ben Affleck in a strip club in Canada. Jennifer Lopez told W magazine that she never believed the Ben Affleck romance rumor with a stripper. "We have no secrets from each other. This story is ridiculous, because I knew he had been there. We read the article together and thought it was crazy. ” Inseparable since 2001 When the ceremony takes place, it will be the third marriage for Jennifer Lopez, 33, and the first for Ben Affleck, 31.
The couple had met while filming the movie Gigli. "I got married twice, but I haven't had a real marriage so far." For Jennifer Lopez, this time is the right one. The new man in her life is actor Ben Affleck. Inseparable since they met on the set of Gigli, at the end of 2001. It also emerges that in her obsession to maintain maximum privacy, Jennifer Lopez had hired a detective to find out who had provided the date of her wedding to the hurry. Pushing the reasoning to the end, she had even demanded that the staff on duty for the occasion, as well as some of her guests, undertake in writing not to reveal any information.
For her previous marriage, the star wore a creation by Valentino. To join Ben Affleck in front of the altar, the singer has already ordered her outfit from stylist Vera Wang. All-Hollywood got wind of the wedding when J.Lo appeared on the set of Jersey Girl - the second movie where the Latina bomba plays Ben Affleck - sporting a massive diamond. While the more cynical insinuate that this high-profile marriage was a desperate attempt to distract attention from Gigli's flop, many agree that the union is an extraordinary combination of opposites. Ben Affleck came from a middle-class Boston family. Jennifer Lopez grew up in the infamous parts of the Bronx.
This childhood away from glitter did not prevent the singer and actress from giving an Aston Martin to her future husband, with whom she began a relationship even before her divorce from choreographer and dancer Cris Judd was pronounced. This marriage was celebrated just a few months after the break between P.Diddy and Jennifer Lopez, separation caused by a shooting in a nightclub, in which the rapper was involved. In 1997, J.Lo was married for a year to Cuban model Ojani Noa.
