On Saturday afternoon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez shared an intimate lunch together al-fresco by the side of Lake Como in Italy, another one of their honeymoon spots. In the photos, Affleck is wearing a light blue button down and cream slacks. Lopez had on a crochet maxi dress by Jonathan Simkhai, aviator sunglasses, and a tan fedora that she eventually removed, allowing the summer sun to light up her honey brown hair. She was wearing wedge sandals and carried an embroidered handbag.
During their meal, Affleck was photographed giving his new wife a sample of his own meal from his spoon. Soon after, J.Lo wiped her husband’s beard across the table. They kissed and then Affleck shot some photos of the scenery. Eventually, they headed to town for a little shopping, walking hand-in-hand down the streets, and stopping for a milkshake dessert.
The couple had their second wedding ceremony on August 20 after an earlier elopement in Las Vegas. The weekend of events took place at Affleck’s mansion in Georgia, where guests wore all white and enjoyed three days of festivities. Though Lopez chose to share some material from the event on her private newsletter, a video circulated by TMZ was supposedly a violation of an NDA that attendees were asked to sign.
In the video, Lopez is serenading Affleck with an unknown song about how she “can’t get enough” of her husband. The pop star and actor wrote in an Instagram comment that has been widely circulated that the footage was being used “without permission” and was leaked by someone “for money.”
“This was taken without our permission. Period. And whoever did it took advantage of our private moment,” Lopez wrote. “I don’t know where you all are getting it from bc we had ndas and asked everyone not share anything from our wedding. Anything I put out private is OnTheJLO and it’s ready to share with my fans. Which I will do when I am ready to.”
She added, “This was stolen without our consent and sold for money.”
