Just a day ago, Jennifer Lopez was a mega-star actress, singer, and celebrity who was dating Ben Affleck (of Batman v. Superman and The Justice League fame). However, a surprise trip to Las Vegas would stand to change her life. At midnight on July 17, Jennifer and Ben (nicknamed Bennifer by fans) got married in Las Vegas.
At this point, almost everyone knows that the couple dated in the early 2000s but ended up calling it off in 2004. However, post the pandemic, like most other early 2000’s staples, the couple came back, better than ever.
All this being said, one can not ignore that 20 years have passed since Bennifer first became a thing. But, remarkably, JLo appears to be getting younger each day. At 52, Jennifer is now more radiant, glamourous and stunning than ever.
She has 218 million Instagram followers and her recent wedding post (a selfie posted the morning after her wedding) has gotten over 1.7 million likes and more than 32K comments (in 20 hours)

Seeing all this, one is forced to wonder, what has Jennifer done that has kept her insanely popular and relevant even more than two decades in the limelight.
First of all, it is no surprise that Jennifer Lopez is an unbelievably tough and strong woman. Her career has seen many professional and personal setbacks. Yet, in the face of all of it, Jennifer remained resilient and did not let anyone dictate what her life was meant to be.
Another key ingredient to Jennifer’s prolonged success is how she has maintained herself over time. Lopez’s youth and radiance are a result of paying keen attention to nutrition, exercise, and hydration.

Lopez admitted to People magazine in 2016 that she thinks drinking lots of water and eating fresh foods (like fruits and vegetables) all play into the quality of one’s skin’s appearance. Lopez also works out religiously. Dancing, circuit training, and light weight training form a part of her workout routine
Aside from paying a lot of attention to maintaining her natural health and beauty, Jennifer is also assisted by a talented team of stylists, make-up artists, and hairstylists who ensure that every photo shoot, video, and public appearance is made by Lopez has her looking the best.
Rob Zangardi has been Jennifer’s stylist since 2010, travelling with her wherever she goes. In fact, Zangardi also wished Bennifer on their wedding on Instagram.
Meanwhile, her makeup has been handled for decades by celebrity makeup guru, Scott Barnes. Her 2021 Met Gala look is only one of the many iconic looks he has created with her.

Most importantly, however, Jennifer exudes confidence. In the past, many have confused this confidence for arrogance but, is a woman who knows what she wants and will work as hard as she can to attain it.
In 2019, at the age of 50, Jenny starred in Hustlers, a film about exotic dancers who turn into con artists to get what is owed to them. The role was physically and emotionally demanding and Jennifer’s performance was noteworthy, generating serious Oscar buzz.
In fact, Lopez was even nominated for a Golden Globe for the role.
Now, Jennifer embarks on yet another exciting and phase of her life – marriage. The dominant narrative about Jen and Ben’s relationship is that they were each others’ “one that got away”. The fact that they are now married creates hope for many of us hopeless romantics.
Here is wishing Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck a happy, long and prosperous married life. May Jenny from the Block conquer more hearts over the years!
