Jennifer Lopez's four weddings as she finally finds happiness with Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has enjoyed a string of high-profile romances over the years, before eventually finding happiness with new husband Ben Affleck.

The happy couple - who were previously engaged in the early 2000s - tied the knot in an intimate Las Vegas wedding on Saturday evening.

Confirming the news in her On The JLo fan newsletter, the singer-actress wrote: "Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.

"Exactly what we wanted. 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."

All five of the pair's children were also in attendance as witnesses.

But it certainly isn't the first wedding for Jennifer, 52, after previously tying the knot on three other occasions.

So, who are her former husbands and when did they wed?

Jennifer's first marriage was to Cuban-born waiter Ojani Noa.

Ojani was working at a Miami restaurant owned by Gloria Estefan, when he charmed the star not long before her role in the movie Selena.

Following a whirlwind romance, the pair wed on February 22, 1997.

However, their marriage was short-lived as they divorced 11 months later.

Speaking on her own YouTube channel, J Lo said: "I've never been married in a church.

"I've been married three times, and once was nine months and once was 11 months, so I don't really count those."

Not a lot is known about their actual wedding day.

Cris Judd: 2001-2003

The singer married Cris Judd, her former backup dancer, on September 29, 2001.

On the day, the couple tied the knot in front of 170 guests at a private residence in Calabasas.

Jennifer's then-manager Benny Medina, who served as best man on the day, also attended the couple's honeymoon.

Sadly, the pair pulled the plug on their marriage over a year later.

Speaking about their high-profile marriage, Cris previously told US Weekly: "You know it's very tough. Your privacy is breached. You're no longer a normal person.

"[Our wedding] was a circus. I think several people got arrested trying to climb up a mountain... trying to sneak in. We actually rented the airspace."

After their divorce, Jennifer started dating co-star Ben after meeting on the set of movie Gigli.

Marc Anthony: 2004-2014

Jennifer's third marriage to latin music star Marc Anthony is her longest out of the four.

The pair - who welcomed twins Max and Emme during their marriage - wed in an intimate ceremony at her Beverley Hills estate on June 5, 2004.

Only 40 guests attended on the day, which saw Jennifer walk down the aisle in a strapless Vera Wang dress and head-to-toe Neil Lane jewellery.

The wedding came days after Marc was officially divorced from his first wife, model Dayanara Torres.

Jennifer and Marc later announced they would divorce on July 15, 2011.

The pair still remain close friends as they co-parent their two children.

Ben Affleck: 2022

J-Lo and Ben famously began dating in 2002 and got engaged that same year.

Sadly, the movie co-stars ended up parting ways in 2004 before ever walking down the aisle.

However, last year, the pair announced they had rekindled their love story - with Ben proposing for the second time in April 2022.

Making it official over the weekend, Jennifer tied the knot for the fourth time in a low-key ceremony in Sin City.

The wedding took place on Saturday, July 16 and the nuptials was held in both of their legal names: Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez.

On her newsletter, J-Lo published photos of herself in the flowing white dress while Ben took a selfie in a separate changing room as he donned a white jacket and black bow tie for the nuptials.

According to Jennifer, the couple almost didn't get married as they struggled to make the chapel on time.

"They graciously stayed open late a few minutes," she told fans.

"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)."

The actress concluded the blog post, saying: "Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with.

"Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things - and worth waiting for. "

Jennifer signed off the newsletter: "With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck."
