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'm in. 7 months from today.
She's nuts, and so is any man who marries her.
In the future, everyone will be married to Jennifer Lopez for fifteen minutes.
J. Lo. is on pace to kick the crap out of Liz Taylor record.
I pick 60 days
I am being so bad tonight LOL!
Let's place some money on early July, the Red Sox should be out of the hunt for an American League pennant by then.
Out of 40 guests, I still think the author of this gem is going to be hard to pin down.
Yeah, and who cares?
She'll hang in there a little longer. She won't leave until she gets the seed she's so longing for.
Andy Warhol was really onto something there, wasn't he?
There's no description of the wedding dress. It must not have been as interesting as the one she wore to the Acaedemy Awards in 2000.
J LO's had more guys enter her than the Holland Tunnel.
I think the expression is "If she had as many pr*cks sticking out of her as she's had sticking in her she'd look like a porcupine."
Makes you think that the "source" is a male. When do us men ever realize these sorts of things?
He was probably married to her too.
Dear Jennifer Lopez,
Please stop singing and making movies.
Sincerely,
Manic Episode
I look at it this way: while they are married and making each other miserable, they are sparing 2 other people in the world from misery (at least until the upcoming divorce)
Obviously you do.
As meager as her musical and cinematic talents are, they are still recognizable to the human senses.
Damien Hirst:
What is this execrable piece of tripe called: "The Wedding Planner?" There are not even any disemboweled cows or distended pig fetuses! Why I've never heard of such a thing!
I hear she's ready to start a family. She's an idiot, and we should pity Marc and any illstarred baby she brings forth.
