In a touching tribute to her new husband sent via email newsletter, Jennifer Lopez confirmed she wed actor Ben Affleck last night in Las Vegas.

"We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient," the pop star, dancer and actress wrote.

The pair, who first dated in 2002 and rekindled their romance almost 20 years later in 2021, tied the knot "at very, very long last" in a pink Cadillac convertible at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, according to Lopez's statement.

The actress, who danced on the TV show "In Living Color" before landing the title role in "Selena," wore a simple white dress for the ceremony. The "Gone Girl" actor sported a white tux from his closet that he changed into while inside the chapel men's room. Together the pair marched down the aisle to music playing from a Bluetooth speaker in what Lopez described as the wedding the pair dreamed of long ago.

"When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another," Lopez wrote. "We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives."
