Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who have revived their celebrity romance nearly 20 years after they first reunited, have obtained a marriage license in Nevada, according to Clark County records.
Key points:
- It is unclear whether the couple is officially married
- The marriage license shows that Lopez plans to take the name Jennifer Affleck
- Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, became famous in the early 2000s before reactivating their romance last year.
The Clark County Secretary’s office in Nevada showed the couple obtained a marriage license that was processed Saturday.
However, a marriage license is not proof of marriage and it is unclear whether the two have been officially linked.
Representatives of Lopez, singer and actress, and Affleck, actor and filmmaker, did not immediately respond to the messages.

In April, Lopez made public her engagement in a video posted to her fans showing a green engagement ring.
The presentation of the marriage license showed that Lopez plans to take the name Jennifer Affleck.
Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, became famous in the early 2000s before reactivating their romance last year.
They previously starred in “Gigli” from 2003 and “Jersey Girl” from 2004.
By that time, they were engaged, but never married.
Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005, with whom he shares three children.
They divorced in 2018.
Lopez has been married three times before.
He briefly married Ojani Noa from 1997 to 1998 and Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003.
She and singer Marc Anthony were married for a decade after the wedding in 2004. They have 14-year-old twins together.
