LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez (news) has married her current boyfriend, salsa singer Marc Anthony, barely five months after breaking her much-publicized engagement to actor Ben Affleck (news), Us Weekly reported on Saturday.
The magazine said Lopez, 33, married Latin music star Anthony, 34, at her home in Los Angeles on Saturday in front of about 40 guests. Us Weekly said it had pictures of a giant tent assembled on the estate and of guests coming and going among tables covered in white table cloths and flower centerpieces.
"It was a lovely low-key intimate affair for the closest friends and family, " Us reported a friend as saying.
"She didn't hardly tell anyone. Everyone was surprised," another unidentified friend told the magazine.
Representatives for Lopez and Anthony could not immediately be reached for comment.
The reported marriage comes less than a week after Anthony was granted a quickie divorce in the Dominican Republic from his wife of four years, Dayanara Torres, a former Miss Universe (news - web sites).
It would be the third marriage for Lopez, the sultry star whose previous trips down the aisle have both lasted a little over a year.
Tabloid news reports have linked Anthony and Lopez for weeks. They noted that Lopez had recently returned the giant pink diamond engagement ring she was given by Affleck during the stormy "Bennifer" affair that rose to a fever pitch last September when the couple called off their wedding at short notice, citing excessive media intrusion.
Affleck and Lopez officially broke their engagement in January and both have maintained a low profile since then. But by May, Lopez was seen wearing another diamond, reportedly given to her by Anthony.
Can I get a rim shot here?
Anybody?
He's gettin some Boo-TAY!
What more does a man need? Love?
My bet is that he lasts until Xmas. She is a total control freak and won't allow anything to go on without her consent. He will go along easily for 60 days...but it will begin to show by October. The question is...who will be the next guy?
I just did jury duty - I think that exempts me for three months.
I mean, what woman could resist the advances of a rapidly balding, irascible, leftist kook who has a paunch that stretches from Chapaqua to the Verrazano Bridge?
This match has been in the cards for years!
Don't ya' think?
That's some expensive booty. I'm female, btw. I also have 4 kids, a 2 yr old grandbaby, and another on the way. J-Lo needs to cool her jets, or go to a sperm farm. Sorry, I'm just tripping on Ronnie's death...
I'm really sad for this woman. She's obviously searching for a greater fulfillment in her life, and cannot seem to find it. Just goes to show you money can't buy happiness. I am so fortunate to have a wonderful marriage, and I want to wish the same for her. For her sake, I hope and pray this one is the keeper. More than that, I pray she finds the One whose love she can never lose...
She wants a baby BAD, so look for at most 4 years then bye bye!
Pregnant within 6 months or the marriage ends in far less than 4 years.
When will Kevin Bacon be linked to this?
Well, at least she's decided to do it the old fashioned way, married first, THEN a baby. A nice change from most Hollywood wanna be starlets
She's going to do a Madonna. After she's impregnated, ol' Marc will be out the door.
You're one month off my prediction. We do need an official sheet to keep up.
Who's the next guy? Probably some poor schmuck from American Idol.
I wouldn't wish my worst enemy on her.
Better than being Ben Afleck's beard I guess.
She was in a memtal ward at least twice.
Finally the "American Idol" code is broken.
Good job, man!
plump ass bump
Takes the focus off the butt?
1 year, tops.
