Twenty years ago, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called off their wedding. Then, in 2021, they rekindled their romance, and in 2022, they got engaged.
The pair surprised everyone with a spontaneous wedding in Las Vegas in July, and then just last weekend, they had a 3-day wedding celebration at Affleck’s estate in Riceboro, Georgia, the same location where they were planning to get married years ago.
Not a lot of details have been released about the wedding, but the guest list included about 100 close friends and family members. Apparently, there were also backup singers and backup dancers invited to the wedding, but we’re just finding that out now.
A video from the wedding reception was leaked to TMZ. In the video, Affleck is sitting in a chair on stage with wedding guests sitting behind him. Meanwhile, he’s watching Lopez perform a yet to be released song. She’s wearing her wedding dress, and there are backup dancers and backup singers performing with her. The whole song is choreographed. It was like a private concert.
Here’s a slightly longer version of the same performance.
A fan account shared the leaked video on Instagram along with the caption “I’m confused … on the one hand it’s a pity that this movie came out, after all it’s their private celebration … on the other hand I just got the photos in good quality and people say it’s marketing … what do you think?”
Lopez commented on the Instagram post, “This was taken without permission. Period. And whoever did it took advantage of our private moment. I don’t know where you all are getting it from bc we had NDAs and asked everyone to not share anything from our wedding. That is our choice to share. Anything I put out private is OnThe JLO and it’s to share w my fans. Which I will do when I am ready to. This was stolen without our consent and sold for money. Thank you for caring. I love you guys.”
After seeing Lopez’s comment, the fan account took down the video and posted a screenshot of Lopez’s comment in its place. The new caption for the post reads, “out of respect for Bennifer and their private moments, I deleted the previous post. We love you Jennifer and we hope you will quickly find the guy who sold this material to TMZ. I’m posting Jennifer’s comment under a deleted post. please share it!”
No word yet on who leaked the video.
