Jennifer Lopez has legally changed her famous name after marrying Ben Affleck.

The duo formally tied the knot over the weekend after lodging a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada.

Court records show the A-listers both used their legal names Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez for the official document.

However, in the 'new name' section, Jennifer Lopez listed she'll now legally be known as Jennifer Lynn Affleck.

In an email to her followers, JLo (now known as JFleck?) wrote: "Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient."

She added: "Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at 12:30 in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with."

Her white wedding dress was reportedly from an 'old movie' while Affleck's white jacket was from his 'closet'.

Their ceremony was something Jen had 'dreamed of long ago'.

She said they stood in line for their marriage license with four other couples at the Little White Chapel.

“They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love’," she wrote in her blog post.

"We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children, and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to."

They first got engaged back in 2002 after starring together in the film Gigli.

The world quickly dubbed the celebrity couple 'Bennifer', however this intense media pressure would see them call off their engagement in 2004 and they parted ways.

They rekindled their romance in 2021 and got engaged earlier this year.

Lopez revealed on her website how Affleck popped the question to her.

She wrote in a blog post: "Saturday night while at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed.”

She added: “[I] just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again...I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said, ‘YES of course that's a YES.’”

Jennifer explained how neither she nor Ben thought they would have ever got back together again.

Lopez went onto marry singer Marc Anthony after the Bennifer split, while Affleck married Jennifer Garner a year later.

However, they managed to find each other once again after Lopez split from Alex Rodriguez and after Affleck stopped dating his Deep Water co-star Ana de Armas.

During an appearance on Ellen, Jennifer said: "I don’t think anybody was more surprised than us. You never could imagine that something like that could happen. It’s a beautiful thing."

She also told PEOPLE: "We're older now, we're smarter, we have more experience, we're at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things."
