Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck marry in Las Vegas
Gwyneth Paltrow has given ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck and his new wife Jennifer Lopez her full blessing.
The actress, 49, was quizzed about her ex’s recent wedding on Friday, and gave a gushing response when discussing Ben and Jennifer’s love story.
The new Mrs Affleck, 52, and Ben, 49, became husband and wife after queuing for marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on Saturday, with the bride wearing a dress “from an old movie” and the actor donning a white suit jacket from his wardrobe.
Following their Las Vegas wedding, the world has been reacting to the two love birds finally tying the knot – 19 years on from when they famously ended their original engagement just weeks before their first planned wedding in 2003.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, Gwyneth took part in a Q&A with her followers – with one fan asking her how she feels about Ben and Jennifer in the wake of their happy news.
Gwyneth and Ben famously dated on-off from 1997 to 2000, and during the course of their relationship starred in the movie Shakespeare in Love together.
After the pair called it quits, Ben would go on to find love with Jennifer for the first time on the set of their movie Gigi, while Gwyneth welcomed two children into the world with her now-ex husband Chris Martin.

Responding to the fan’s question on her Instagram Stories, the Iron Man actress revealed she’s clearly on good terms with her ex as she wished him and his new wife well.
“Love!! So romantic,” Gwyneth gushed in reply to the question. “Very happy for them.”
The Goop founder then replied to a fan asking if she was happy in her life, to which she shared a romantic snap of herself with husband Brad Falchuk and wrote: “very”.
Newly married Ben isn’t the only ex Gwyneth has nice things to say about.
Gwyneth and Brad were one of the ‘It’ couples of the 90s
Last month, the wellness guru and Brad Pitt looked back on their past engagement and confessed their love for each other in the present day.
The Hollywood exes told each other they loved each other during a recent chat together to promote Brad’s new cashmere line, God’s True Cashmere, via Gwyneth’s infamous wellness brand, Goop.
The former couple hit it off romantically in 1994 after playing a married couple in the hit movie Se7en.
They got engaged in 1996 but called it quits the following year – with the actress going on to marry Coldplay star Chris Martin in 2003, and Brad tying the knot with Friends star Jennifer Aniston in 2000 and then Angelina Jolie in 2014.
During her chat with Brad, Gwyneth noted her current husband shares the same name as her one-time fiancé – telling the Fight Club actor: “I finally found the Brad I was supposed to marry. It just took me 20 years.”
“And it’s lovely to have you as a friend now,” Brad hit back with, sweetly adding: “And I do love you.”
The feeling was mutual, with the actress replying: “Love you so much.”
