Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck reveal matching tattoos as they mark their first Valentine’s Day married

Jennifer Lopez revealed that she and her husband Ben Affleck have got matching tattoos as they marked their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple.

The triple-threat performer, 53, unveiled her new tatt, which appears above her ribcage, in a series of photos on her Instagram.

The Hustlers star’s fresh inking features an infinity sign with the couple’s names incorporated in cursive and an arrow through the symbol.

Following his other half’s lead, Affleck added to his tattoo collection and got his a new one on the side of his torso, under his underarm.

The 50-year-old’s body art showed two larger arrows crossed with the initials “J” and “B” on top of one another.

Aside from showing off their new inks, Lopez also shared snaps of her and Affleck cuddling and sharing a kiss.

Captioning the photos, she penned: “Commitment [infinity emoji]. Happy Valentine’s Day my love. #CommitmentIsSexy #ThisIsUsThen #ThisIsUsNow #ThisIsMeNow”.

The singer also told her fans to keep an eye out for her forthcoming newsletter for more details on how the couple marked Valentine’s Day this year.

It comes after the singer paid tribute to her husband following the pair’s night out at the 65th Grammy Awards, saying she’d had “the best time” – despite pictures from the night showing Affleck appearing to look bored.

Lopez posted a video montage on Instagram, which included clips and photos of the couple together.

The pair were married in July last year at a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas, where they were joined by their children.

The singer announced her engagement to actor Affleck earlier in April, 18 years after they originally called off their wedding.

The Hollywood stars began dating in July 2002 and got engaged in November of that year.

They were due to tie the knot in September 2003 but postponed the wedding just days before the ceremony.

They ultimately called off their engagement in January 2004.

The next year Affleck married actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children – Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10. They divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage.

Lopez’s past relationships include her 10-year marriage to singer Marc Anthony.

The former couple, who divorced in 2014, have 14-year-old twins Emme and Max together.
