Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck held a second marriage ceremony on Saturday, a month after tying the knot in an intimate wedding in Las Vegas. To officiate the special occasion on August 20, the celebrity couple, popularly known as "Bennifer", hired life coach and one of the world's most renowned motivational speakers, Jay Shetty, a report in Page Six said. According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Shetty graduated with a first class BSc (Honors) Degree in Behavioural Science from Cass Business School in London, but ditched his career to find inner peace and became a motivational speaker and a social media star.
Mr Shetty's mother is from Gujarat and father from South India, but he was born in north London in September, 1987. Mr Shetty told The Guardian in 2020 that his parents were non-practising Hindus and that he had a mildly rebellious childhood - experimenting with drugs, fighting and drinking too much.
He had also officiated the wedding of Lily Collins and director Charlie McDowell in September last year.
Mr Shetty and Jennifer Lopez have previously featured together in a few videos of YouTube series Coach Conversations. She also appeared in his podcast, On Purpose, in March 2021.
Ms Lopez, 53, and Mr Affleck, 50, got married during a three-day celebration for friends and family at the latter's sprawling riverfront estate near Savannah, Georgia.
The singer wore a couture Ralph Lauren dress made in Italy for the ceremony.
The dress code for the second wedding was white and the function was attended by Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, director Kevin Smith, and actor Jason Mewes, among others.
