Newlyweds Ben Affleck, 50, and Jennifer Lopez, 53, did not fly home together after their three-day wedding in Riceboro, Georgia on August 21. Instead, after saying goodbye to his three children that he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, the Justice League actor left the state with his close pal, Matt Damon, 51. Ben flew home just one day after he and Jennifer got married (again) because of a work obligation, according to a source close to the “Let’s Get Loud” singer. More AboutBen Affleck

What makes their relationship work is the trust that they have, knowing that they can go out and be these huge A-list stars but come home to each other and just be husband and wife.”

“He feels like he has not even reached the pinnacle of his career and he is so grateful because there was a time when he thought he would never work again,” the insider further added. “Jennifer only wants to bring him up and is his biggest fan.” As for J.Lo, she seemingly left Georgia with her children Emme and Max, 14, after the epic wedding.

As fans know, Ben and Jen actually got married in Las Vegas at the iconic A Little White Chapel on Saturday, July 16. The guest list was extremely limited, with only J.Lo’s child Emme and Ben’s daughter Seraphina, 13, in attendance. “Bennifer” invited plenty of guests to their wedding at Ben’s private estate in Georgia, including Matt and his wife Luciana, George Clooney, Renee Zellweger, Jane Fonda and Jimmy Kimmel. Jennifer’s friend Jay Shetty officiated the ceremony. It was a milestone moment for Ben and Jen, considering they were engaged in the early 2000s, then broke up and got married to other people, before they rekindled their romance after she broke off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez last year. Cheers to Ben and Jen’s happily ever after! Related Link
