Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will be getting married again this weekend, and they reportedly tapped celebrity life coach Jay Shetty to officiate their wedding. According to Page Six, Shetty and JLo are very close. Earlier this year, he helped Lopez in a PR stunt for her movie Marry Me.
Jay, a former Hindu monk, officiated Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell’s wedding.
This weekend, Ben and Jennifer will reportedly host a big weekend celebration with all their family and celebrity friends. “It’s going to be all about J.Lo. Ben wants all of the focus to be on her for their big day,” an insider told the publication.
According to the insider, the three-day “intimate celebration for family and friends” will kick off on Friday, August 19, with a rehearsal dinner, the following day will be the ceremony, and on Sunday, the newlyweds will host a barbecue and picnic.
As per the publication, Lopez might wear a custom couture Ralph Lauren dress made in Italy, and Vogue magazine will document her fashion choices during the special weekend.
Ben and JLo’s second wedding will be hosted at the actors’ Riceboro estate in Georgia. A central mansion with over 4,000 acres. The property is an 87-acre, multi-residence compound overlooking the North Newport River on the ultra-private Hampton Island Preserve. It sits on a 4,000-acre pristine island about 35 miles south of Savannah, Georgia.
The compound has several structures, but the main one is the so-called “Big House,” which has three bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 6,000 sq ft of living space. A second and decidedly more rustic three-story structure ringed by deep verandas and dubbed Oyster Cottage spans about 10,000 square feet and can comfortably sleep more than twenty in three master suites plus six more bunkhouse-style bedrooms fitted with built-in bunk beds salvaged from a merchant ship.

Jennifer and Ben announced their engagement in April after rekindling their romance in 2021. “It turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” Lopez wrote, referring to all the time they spent apart after breaking up.
“Stick around long enough, and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive-through in Las Vegas at 12:30 in the morning in the tunnel of love drive-through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with,” the star said. “Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things — and worth waiting for.”
