Jennifer Lopez is opening up about her wedding day with Ben Aflleck, revealing that she actually experienced “a little PTSD” before the special day, as she remembered their failed engagement during their first romantic relationship back in 2002.

During her recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the actress explained that after their first engagement “fell apart,” she couldn’t believe their wedding in 2022 was “really happening.”

“We were so happy and, of course, it was happening, but the wedding was so stressful,” she said to Jimmy, revealing that their Las Vegas ceremony was the actor’s idea.

“One day, Ben just said, ‘F–k it, let’s just go to Vegas and get married tonight,‘” she said. “He said, ‘Go to rehearsal. When you get back here, I’ll have everything set up.’”

The couple went on to have two special ceremonies, one in Las Vegas and another one in Georgia, accompanied by their closest friends and family members.

“I’m here with my hubby,” she said, posting a video on social media during the premiere. “We’re having a good time,” she added. Jennifer wore a see-through dress featuring gold crystals, while Ben wore a classic black suit.
