Jennifer Garner visits Lake Tahoe as ex Ben Affleck marries Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Garner spent a relaxing weekend in Lake Tahoe, Calif., while her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, married Jennifer Lopez in Las Vegas.

The “13 Going on 30” star, 50, documented her adventures Sunday, posting an Instagram Story video while paragliding.

She later shared a smiling selfie on a bike ride.

Garner and Affleck, 49, were married from 2005 to 2018, and the former couple share three children.

Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, appeared to attend their dad’s Nevada nuptials Saturday night along with Lopez’s 14-year-old twins, Emme and Maximilian, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

The “Let’s Get Loud” singer, who changed her last name after the ceremony, confirmed her wedding news in Sunday’s edition of her “On the JLo” newsletter.

“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” Lopez, 52, wrote, referencing her and the 49-year-old Oscar winner’s previous engagement from 2002 to 2004.

She went on to call the milestone moment “exactly” what the “Gigli” co-stars wanted.

“Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” the Grammy winner gushed.

“Behind us two men held hands and held each other,” she continued. “In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday — all of us wanting the same thing — for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”

Lopez noted that she wore a “dress from an old movie,” signing off, “With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.”

The superstar entertainer was married to Anthony, 53, from 2004 to 2014. Before reconnecting with Affleck in 2021, she was engaged to Alex Rodriguez for two years.

She and the former MLB player, 46, split in March 2021, with the “Jenny From the Block” singer confirming just months later that she had moved on with Affleck.

“I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him,” Lopez told People of their reconciled romance in February.

“It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance,” she added at the time. “We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience.”

Affleck proposed to Lopez in April while she was in the bathtub.

“I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’” the “Maid in Manhattan” star recalled. “I said ‘YES of course that’s a YES.'”
