On their first Valentine’s Day together as a married couple, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck engaged in some sweet displays of affection…
The singer known for her hit “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and her spouse of six months had a romantic supper at the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, California, on Tuesday. Kim Kardashian and Rihanna are also fans of this popular eatery.
Lopez, who was wearing a belted two-toned dress paired with strappy metallic shoes and a slicked-back high pony, linked hands with Affleck as he assisted her out of their vehicle while he was dressed in a midnight blue three-piece suit; Affleck was also wearing a midnight blue tie.
After Jennifer Lopez announced that she and Hollywood actor, 50, celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together by getting complementing tattoos and a dinner.
In a series of photographs that were posted by Lopez, the actress can be seen displaying her new tattoo, which looks to be an infinity symbol on which the names “Jennifer” and “Ben” are written in cursive.
The sign, which is positioned over Lopez’s ribs, also has an arrow that travels through its center.
A photograph of Affleck’s new tattoo was also shared by Lopez. The winner of the Academy Award wears a tattoo that consists of two arrows that cross each other. Above the two arrows that are crossing each other is the letter “J,” and below them is the letter “B.”
She captioned the carousel of photographs with “Happy Valentine’s Day my darling” after writing “commitment” and adding an infinity emoji to the end of the word. She added “CommitmentIsSexy #ThisisUsThen #ThisIsUsNow #ThisIsMeNow” in a nod to the past and present couple photos, including one in which she and Affleck appeared to recreate an iconic scene from her 2002 “Jenny from the Block” music video.
After keeping their engagement a secret for many months, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally tied the knot on July 16 in the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, just minutes before the midnight hour.
A month ago, Lopez said that she and Affleck considered taking a different path with their relationship.
“We were planning to get married in August in Savannah, the family was going to be there, everyone’s going to be there, and it was so hectic,” Lopez said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while promoting her new movie.”
In a humorous reference to her initial engagement to the actor, which took place in 2002, she said, “A month prior, and I don’t know whether you guys know this, but 20 years ago we were going to be married.”
Kimmel remarked, “I heard that, I read that,” in reference to the couple’s breakup that occurred only a few days before their wedding in September 2003.
“Back then, everything just sort of went apart, and this time, I definitely had a little worry, and so I was like, ‘Is this happening?'” said Lopez.
“We were so happy, and of course, it was happening, but I just felt like the wedding was so stressful, and one day Ben just says, ‘F—- it, let’s just go to Vegas and get married tonight.’ ”
“I was just like, ‘This is crazy, what are we doing?’ ” added Lopez, who went on to reveal that Affleck handled everything and reassured her that he was “going to have everything set up.”
Lopez said, “It was the finest day of our life,” when asked about her wedding in July to the Academy Award winner.
