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.
I think he's the guy in post #38.
Make that post #39.
Less lucrative, though.

LOL soooo true!

My guess is she has a wandering eye...and can't stay interested in the current hubby/boyfriend for too long.
Sure. Under 180 days.
It's a home gym, honest honey...
These puppies have been flying for a long time. I emphasize: A LONG TIME!!!
Does the old fashioned way include 3 marriages and 2 divorces, and counting? Methinks there's a slight contradiction there.
She's already halfway to Liz's record!
The bun is probably already in the oven. Delivery countdown should begin from the merry month of May.
Sometimes people mix and what comes from the two and are stronger.
In the case of Ben and Jennifer, water and dirt mixed and the result was MUD!
Is this 'one for the thumb?'
I wish her happiness. I can't even imagine what it must be like to be her. But apparently, it's a very lonely place because her need for love is almost humiliating.
