Jennifer Lopez serenades Ben Affleck at wedding reception as she performs new track

Superstar Jennifer Lopez serenaded her husband Ben Affleck at their lavish wedding reception with a new song dedicated to their love.

The Billboard Icon Award winner strutted her stuff in one of her three custom-made Ralph Lauren dresses as she sang to Ben, who sat in a chair in the centre of the room, and looked on adoringly while dressed in a white tux.

Jennifer, 53, and Ben, 50, tied the knot for a second time last Saturday, surrounded by family and A-list guests, at the Batman actor's £6.7 million home in Georgia.

In July, the pair swapped vows during an intimate Las Vegas ceremony, but opted to go all out for their second ceremony.

In a video which captured Jen's wedding performance, the Marry Me star sings in front of guests, as she looks at Ben : "I can feel the passion in your eyes/ I'm still in love with you."

The music icon and her back-up dancers, dressed in black, then break into the catchy chorus, repeating the phrase: "You know I can't get enough."

Amongst the wedding planning it seems JLO still had time to choreograph a routine for the performance, as she and her back-up dancers moved in sync in parts.

It wasn't just Jen who showered Ben with love however, as the Good Will Hunting star reportedly made a sweet speech which referenced their engagement 18 years ago, that the couple called off.

A source told US Weekly: "Ben made an impassioned speech professing his love for Jennifer and her kids and said the children are the blessing and gift that happened because they didn’t get married before and that is proof that everything happens for a reason."

The couple's children were said to be a a big part of the couple's wedding.

A source told People: "Jennifer loved having all the kids there. She loved the location. It all felt very special. It was a dream for her."

After the break-up, Ben went onto welcome daughters Violet, in 2005, Seraphina, in 2009 and son, Samuel, in 2012 with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

The Maid in Manhattan star meanwhile had twins Emme and Max with Latin singer Marc Anthony in 2008.

The Hollywood couple are currently in in Italy on their honeymoon, and pictures showed them cruising in a boat across Lake Como in the north of the country.

Their pair continued their Italian adventure by heading 50 miles south to Milan for a spot of shopping.

Jennifer and Ben decided to have a little walk around the fashion capital of the world before heading to Brunello Cucinelli store, which sparked a frenzy among shocked fans.
