      Captain America is officially off the market.
      In a delightful turn of events, Hollywood heartthrob Chris Evans, best known for his iconic portrayal of Captain America, and talented actress Alba Baptista, celebrated their love in a private and intimate wedding ceremony on September 9th. The romantic affair took place at a secluded residence in the picturesque state of Massachusetts, with multiple media outlets buzzing with the news on September 10th.
      The 42-year-old Chris Evans and his 26-year-old bride, Alba Baptista, exchanged heartfelt vows in the presence of their closest family and friends. What made this celebration even more special was the attendance of some of Chris’s fellow Avengers stars, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Jeremy Renner.

      Chris Evans and Alba Baptista
      While their wedding was a private affair, the couple went ‘insta-official’ earlier this year, when The Gray Man star shared a sneak-peek of their lives together. In January, Chris shared a delightful video montage showcasing their playful antics, often surprising each other with adorable pranks.
      The love story continued to unfold on social media, with Chris Evans commemorating Valentine’s Day the following month by sharing a series of endearing pictures and videos capturing their cherished moments together.
      In a world where celebrity relationships often play out in the public eye, Chris Evans and Alba Baptista’s low-key, intimate wedding serves as a heartwarming reminder that love can flourish quietly, away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds and wish them a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and happiness.

      In pics: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially married

      Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially husband and wife!
      Finally getting their ‘happily ever after’ together after 20 years, the couple wed in Las Vegas over the weekend at the A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
      In a court filing obtained by E! News, it appears JLo has legally changed her name to ‘Jennifer Affleck’.
      Giving fans an exclusive glimpse inside their nuptials, the singer shared a series of phone snaps from the ceremony in her ‘On the JLo’ newsletter. The new bride also shared a few details about the wedding, much to our delight.
      “So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives,” JLo detailed in the newsletter. “They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle.”
      The 52-year-old described it as “the best possible wedding we could have imagined… one we dreamed of long ago… at very, very long last”.
      Take a sneak peek inside the wedding below.

      Second chances
      JLo and Affleck, known as ‘Bennifer’, announced their second engagement back in April of this year, nearly two decades after they were due to wed the first time.
      The singer herself confirmed the news via her fan newsletter in a short video which showed a tearful admiring a gorgeous green diamond ring on her engagement ring finger.

      OMG! I finally got the #onthejlo email! I am so FREAKING HAPPY for you @JLo !! So happy for Ben, you and your families! True LOVE & real LOVE does exist and you both found it in each other!! Thank you for sharing this very personal video with us all! LOVE YOU @BenAffleck @JLo pic.twitter.com/1xxBIC6qQp
      — Becky 💍 (@JLoLover4Life) April 9, 2022

      The engagement comes a year after the pair began dating in April last year and nearly 20 years after the pair were set to wed for the first time in the early 2000s.
      JLo and Affleck, dubbed ‘Bennifer’ at the time, first began dating in July 2002  after meeting on the set of Gigli in 2001. The couple’s relationship was heavily publicised and a somewhat media storm at the time.
      The pair became engaged for the first time in November 2002. Affleck proposed with a pink diamond ring reportedly worth an eye-watering $2.5 million.
      Bennifer were set to marry on September 14, 2003, but was postponed due to what was cited at the time as “excessive media attention” surrounding the nuptials. Four months later in January 2004, they announced they had split.

      Affleck went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner in 2005 but split up in 2018. The pair have three children together.
      Meanwhile, Jlo went on to marry Marc Anthony in 2004, with whom she has two children. The pair divorced in 2014 after 10 years of marriage. Most recently, JLo was engaged to former professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez. They began dating in 2017 and became engaged in 2019. However, the couple announced their split in April 2021.
      It’s clear that Bennifer are proof that second chances do exist.

      Dubai-based Lindsay Lohan reveals she’s secretly wed fiancé Bader Shammas

      Dubai-based Lindsay Lohan is officially a married woman!
      The actress revealed she secretly wed her fiancé Bader Shammas in an Instagram post to mark her 36th birthday, where she referred to the financier as her “husband”.
      Lohan shared a photo with her now-husband, saying she was the “luckiest woman in the world”. The star also appeared to be wearing a diamond wedding band paired with her engagement ring.
      “You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time,” she said in the caption. “I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. Every woman should feel like this everyday.”

      Lohan and Shammas announced their engagement back in November 2021 after reportedly dating for around two years.
      Lohan, who has been in the spotlight since she was 11, has been very private about her relationship and not much is known about her fiance except he is also based in Dubai working as a financier. Shammas works as an Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse, a global investment bank and financial services firm.
      The actress relocated to Dubai back in 2014. Lohan, who is a former Emirates Woman cover star, previously opened up about her move to the UAE.

      “Moving here was a fresh start,” she told EW. “You hear more about real current events rather than celebrity gossip, which I really appreciate.”
      She also added one of the main reasons she moved to Dubai was due to the “lack of paparazzi”.
      The 36-year-old recently made a return to the spotlight and acting, as she’s currently filming a new project for Netflix, which is set to be released this year.
