"I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible," he later explained. 'I don't think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own."

But after rekindling their relationship in 2021, Affleck decided to propose to the Let's Get Loud singer that April.

The pair finally celebrated their wedding in a three-day affair from August 19 to 21 after eloping in Las Vegas on July 16.
