Jennifer Lopez, 53, is wifed up. The Bronx native looked incredible as she posed in a bed in white lingerie and a matching cream robe by Italian label Intimissimi in the Rob Zangardi shot photos posed to her Instagram account on Saturday, Oct. 29. She appeared to be rocking just two accessories in the images: her wedding band from husband Ben Affleck, 50, as well as a “Mrs.” necklace for her new name. “#ThisIsMe … #SelfCare #HappyWeekend #TakingAMoment,” she captioned the multi-photo post, including a white heart emoji. Her glam by JLo Beauty and Scott Barnes Cosmetics was also on point with a rusty red lip and matte shadow.
After marrying Ben in a legal and intimate Las Vegas ceremony back in July, the “Jenny From The Block” singer declared to the world that she legally changed her name from Jennifer Lynn Lopez to Jennifer Lynn Affleck. The reveal was made via the Nevada marriage license obtained by HollywoodLife, but also in her OnTheJLo newsletter to fans as she signed off a lengthy letter with her new legal name.
“When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another,” she wrote in the letter on July 18. “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at twelve-thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive-through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with,” she also said.
The name change was no surprise as she revealed back in 2004 during their original engagement that was the plan. In an interview shot at a North Vancouver rental home with Access Hollywood host Pat O’Brien, he pressed, “I wanna know, a week after you’re married, what will your name be?” Jennifer then quickly confirmed her professional name would be, “Jennifer Lopez, but my name will be Jennifer Affleck, obviously.” She then joked, “J. Aff…doesn’t quite the same ring to it, but…,” referencing her J.Lo nickname.
The couple celebrated their nuptials with friends and family in a second Riceboro, Georgia ceremony at a home owned by Ben last August.
