The Meaning Behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Matching Tattoos

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s love has been commemorated in ink.

Bennifer 2.0 celebrated their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple by getting complementary tattoos. The stars’ designs are in similar styles but not identical, and each includes both partners’ names or initials.

Lopez’s mark of commitment is a red-ink eternity sign with an arrow across it. At the bottom of the forever loop is her name, while Ben’s is at the top. The design is to the right of her rib cage. (A pic she shared of it on Instagram is flipped, as if she took it in the mirror.)

Affleck’s is a more minimalist black design: two arrows crisscrossing vertically, tied together with a string, with the letters J and B between them. The tattoo seems to be on his inner arm.

The Marry Me actress shared photos of the tattoos on her Instagram, as well as romantic private shots of her and Affleck and their life together—on beach vacations, at their wedding, and in their home. At the end of her slideshow, she even included two throwback photos from when they first dated about two decades ago—her iconic mint-green dress from the 2003 Oscars once again making an appearance.

“Commitment ♾️ Happy Valentine's Day my love 🤍 (Look for more deets on VDay coming #OnTheJLo soon…),” she captioned her post.

Lopez and Affleck—who made their Grammys debut as Mr. and Mrs. Affleck earlier this month—rekindled their romance in April 2021 and became engaged (for the second time) a year later, in April 2022. Just a few months later, in July, they married in a private Las Vegas ceremony attended only by two of their children, and weeks later, in a lavish wedding at Affleck’s Georgia estate.
