Jennifer Lopez has said she feels "overwhelmed" on the one-year anniversary of her marriage to Ben Affleck.

Lopez, 54, informed her fans that she had wed Affleck, 51, in July 2022, when she revealed the pair had travelled to the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.

Another wedding ceremony in front of friends and family was held at Affleck's home outside of Savannah, Georgia in August 2022.

Marking their one-year wedding anniversary, the Jenny from the Block singer posted two photos to her Instagram page, one showing Lopez in her wedding dress and veil as Affleck carried her in his arms.

The other photo shows the pair looking at fireworks on their wedding day.

The caption featured lyrics from the song Dear Ben Part II and read: "One year ago today... Dear Ben, Sitting here alone, Looking at my ring ring, Feeling overwhelmed, It makes me wanna sing sing, How did we end up here, Without a rewind, Oh my, This is my life... Jennifer."

The first instalment of Dear Ben was released in 2002 when the couple were engaged for the first time.

Lopez previously revealed in her On the JLo newsletter that the Las Vegas ceremony had occurred at "twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through", with the couple accompanied by their children from previous relationships.

Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance following Affleck's split from the actress Ana de Armas and Lopez's break-up with baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

The Hollywood stars previously began dating in 2002 and became engaged that same year.

They were due to wed in 2003 but postponed the wedding just days before the ceremony and ultimately called off their engagement in 2004.

Lopez confirmed she was back together with Affleck in an Instagram post for her 52nd birthday, when she shared a picture of them kissing.

Oscar-winner Affleck, best known for films such as Good Will Hunting, Argo, and Gone Girl, was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner.

Lopez's past relationships include her marriage to singer Marc Anthony.

Lopez has an extensive career in music and film, including the albums On the 6, This Is Me... Then, and This Is Me... Now, and movies such as Hustlers, Maid in Manhattan, and Out of Sight.
