Ben Affleck was spotted vigorously gesturing with his head and hands while out to dinner with his new bride Jennifer Lopez at a ritzy Italian hotel.

The pair were photographed at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo on Lake Como in Northern Italy, the first sighting of the celebrity couple since their blockbuster weekend wedding at Affleck’s $8.9million Georgia ‘plantation’ estate.

Ben shook his head side to side and spoke rapidly as Jennifer listened on. His hands flashed up and down and side to side, and he leaned in to Jennifer with a series of animated expressions on his face.

Jennifer shifted in her seat but appeared to listen intently as her fourth husband spoke.

Jennifer, 53, wore white with her hair up, while Ben, 50, sported a blue polo shirt and a pair of tan pants.

The two ate alone and shared several smooches as they sat side by side throughout the dinner.

They could be seen looking at what appeared to be photos from their wedding on Ben’s phone, which he held up several times to share with his beaming bride.

The couple left the hotel hand-in-hand around 10:30pm local time. 

The sighting comes days after the couple were married at Affleck’s Georgia estate in a lavish wedding on Saturday.

On Sunday they were seen boarding a plane at a private airport in Georgia in the company of Affleck’s best friend Matt Damon, 51, and his wife and kids. It is unclear where the plane was headed. 

The wedding was one to remember. Jen and Ben tied the knot at his $8.9 million Georgia mansion, an 87-acre compound on Hampton Island Preserve.

There were 135 people at their ‘old Hollywood-themed’ wedding – which was revealed in pictures obtained by DailyMail over the weekend. DailyMail also looked inside the wedding.

The ceremony lasted 45 minutes and was officiated by Jay Shetty. It was held under the white metal framework of a church, per Vogue. The frame was decorated with delphiniums from Jenevieve Peralta Floral Design and Tulips & Twigs.

Both their mothers Guadalupe and Chris, her sister Lynda and his best pals Matt Damon and Kevin Smith were there.

Ben’s brother Casey cited parental commitments for not attending, while Ben’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner also stayed away.  

Ben and JLo, known as Bennifer, set out a massive white carpet with Lopez in a white Ralph Lauren couture gown complete with long train and veil, while Ben, 50, wore a black and white tuxedo.

The pair first began dating in 2002 and got engaged shortly afterwards, only to split in 2003 after citing media pressure.  

After the ceremony, there was a cocktail reception in the home.

Next the guests enjoyed dinner in the barn; the food was created by chef Bruce Moffett and Cru Catering, per Vogue.

The wedding cake was from Minette Rushing Custom Cakes.

The music was from DJ Dubz, and there were fireworks. 

J-Lo’s THREE wedding dresses revealed! Jennifer Lopez shows off stunning bridal gowns in first behind-the-scenes glimpse of the special day in Georgia with new husband Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has shared a look at her stunning wedding to Ben Affleck that was held in Georgia on Saturday.

On Tuesday morning the 53-year-old singer and actress took to her website OnTheJLo.com to post photos of herself as a bride.

The Marry Me star wore a white veil over her face as she was carefully made up with frosty pink makeup. Her hair was pulled back showing off diamond and pearl earrings. And she had white frilly material up her neck.

Later Lopez posted a full-length look at her main bridal gown – which had a stunning 20 foot train – as well as the two other dresses she wore on her big day. 

All three creations were from American designer Ralph Lauren and because they are couture gowns, each one is estimated to cost in the $1million ball park.

Couture wedding gowns can cost anywhere from $55,000 to $5million. But Lauren’s cost more. ‘These dresses start at around $500,000 each because they are hand sewn with the finest materials, and definitely more for the style with crystals and pearl work,’ a stylist told DailyMail.

Lauren does not usually design wedding dresses. In fact the cream-colored sheer gown he made when Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas in India in 2018 was only the fourth wedding dress he has ever made.

The cost of that gown was an estimated $2million because there were pearls down the front, over 11,000 Swarovski crystals, and thousands of sequins as well as plenty of handmade lace.

Lopez’s primary wedding gown – the one with the turtleneck – was likely in the $1million neighborhood as it did not have any pearls sewn into it, or any other gems, but it did have an embellished 20 foot train which was handmade. She also wore a cathedral-length veil.

The plunging cream colored halter gown was likely in the $1 million neighborhood as well because it had Swarovski crystals up the front lining of the keyhole.

A third dress looked equally as decadent with strings of pearls sewn onto the gown with Swarovski crystal detailing. The design was sleeveless and had a mermaid finish. She showed it off while sitting on a swing as she added strappy heels with pearls on top. The couture dress was handmade and likely in the $1 million to $2 million range.

Lopez wore Lauren on her wedding day probably because she has a long-standing friendship with the fellow Bronx native. She chose to represent Lauren when she wore one of his gowns to the Met Gala in 2021. 

Her stylist Rob Zangardi, who works with Mariel Haenn – posted an image of Lopez while writing, ‘The most beautiful bride there ever was.’

The images were taken by photographer John Russo.

Later on Tuesday Vogue magazine shared to their Instagram account a full length photo of Lopez in her gown.

‘Congratulations, @jlo and Ben Affleck! The couple celebrated their marriage this past Saturday, August 20 in front of family and friends at their home in Riceboro, Georgia, on the Hampton Island preserve outside of Savannah,’ the magazine stated in the caption.

‘The bride wore @RalphLauren Couture. Ralph Lauren has always been a go-to designer for the Marry Me actor. 

‘The wedding gown she wore during the ceremony was the first of three Ralph Lauren dresses that comprised her lineup of looks for the evening. 

‘The groom complemented his bride’s look in a classic Ralph Lauren Couture white tuxedo jacket, black trousers, and a black bow tie. All five of their children were also in white Ralph Lauren Couture.’

JLo also shared stunning shots of herself in the Ralph Lauren dresses on On The JLo. And she added the sketches to the finished product. ‘The dresses were dreamy… thank you Ralph Lauren,’ she wrote in her latest email.

Fans also got an inside look into the making of Jennifer’s gowns as designer Lauren shared a YouTube video of the dresses being worked on. 

Photographs from the wedding showed the pair hugging at a waterside jetty at the mansion, with a fireworks display from a lake in the property scheduled to finish the night’s event son Friday. 

But the actress was most thrilled with having all of their combined children at the nuptials, shared People on Monday, as she is excited to become a stepmother again. All the children wore Ralph Lauren Couture.

She has Max and Emme, 14, with ex-husband Marc Anthony and he has Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 10, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

‘She loved having all the kids there. She loved the location. It all felt very special,’ a source said about the JLo Beauty founder. ‘It was a dream for her.’ 

Stylist Courtney Victor added, ‘They all seemed like such a happy and cohesive family unit. She is absolutely flawless. It’s unbelievable how beautiful she is.’

And the Bronx born beauty loves being Mrs Affleck.

‘She keeps saying ‘my husband’ and it’s very cute,’ the insider said.

This is not the first time Lopez will play the role of stepmother.

When she wed Marc Anthony she became stepmom to his kids Ariana, 28, and Chase, whose mother is Debbie Rosado; and Cristian, 21,and Ryan, 19, whose mother is Dayanara Torres. 

The new Mr and Mrs Affleck are living at a rental in Beverly Hills until the remodel on Lopez’s old Bel Air, California mansion is done.

It is not known if all the kids will go to the same school as they are almost all teens with the exception of Samuel.
