adminPARIS. — They’ve been relaxing in Paris since they tied the knot last weekend in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony, 20 years after their first engagement was called off.
And Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck (49) continued their honeymoon in the French capital on Sunday as they celebrated her 53rd birthday at the new Christian Dior restaurant.
The singer turned heads in an eye-catching pink midi dress as she left the lavish venue hand-in-hand with her husband Ben. Jennifer boosted her height in a pair of high heels, while accessorising with a gold pendant and stylish sunglasses. She sported a bronzed makeup palette which accentuated her natural features, while scraping her caramel locks back into a ponytail.
Meanwhile, Ben cut a dapper figure in a blue shirt, matching trousers and a pair of brown shoes.
The couple were joined on their Parisian honeymoon by Ben’s two children, Violet (16) and Seraphina (13) as well as Jennifer’s 14-year-old Emme, who goes by gender-neutral pronouns.
Jennifer last month introduced Emme using ‘‘they/them’’ pronouns as they duetted at the Las Vegas Dodgers Foundation Blue Diamond Gala.
Ben is also father to son Samuel, 10, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who he married in 2005, while Jennifer is also mother to Emme’s twin Maximilian (14), whose father is singer Marc Anthony.
It comes after Jennifer and Ben’s wedding minister declared he has no doubt about the couple’s love for each other.
“I’ve done probably 10 000 weddings now, and by this point in my life I get a feel of couples — I can really tell it was real,” Ryan Wolfe, who performed the Las Vegas wedding ceremony on Saturday, told People. Ryan also predicted that the dynamic duo are in it for the long haul: “After seeing them and the love they have for each other, I 100 percent believe they will last. “They will make it. I believe they found their soulmates. I really do believe they’re meant for each other,” he continued. “You can see the love they had for each other. They definitely truly care and love each other,” he added.
Revealing the news of her wedding, Jennifer wrote in her newsletter: “Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world.
“We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late for a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).”
Lopez also revealed she wore a dress from an old movie, while Affleck wore a jacket from his closet for the ceremony. She said: “We read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives. In the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined.” — Mailonline.
