Before she married Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez admitted to having post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to memories of their split in 2004.

The Marry Me star recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her movie Shotgun Wedding, during which she spoke about her Las Vegas wedding.

Lopez explained why she and the Argo actor had to elope for a small ceremony before their large gathering of close friends and relatives in Georgia.

“We were planning to get married in August in Savannah [Georgia],” the mother to twins and step-mom to three kids said. “And it was so stressful.”

“And a month before… and I don’t know if you guys know this, but 20 years ago we were supposed to get married and it all kind of fell apart back then and this time we, I absolutely had a little PTSD.”

She added that the planning was so nerve-wracking that one day Affleck said, “‘(expletive) it, let’ just go to Vegas and get married tonight.’”

The duo then exchanged the vows at the A Little White Wedding Chapel. “It was amazing, it was the best night of our lives,” she said of the Sin City wedding.

The host then inquired about her opinion of the celebrity mashup Bennifer, to which Lopez replied that she had grown to appreciate it over time.

“Actually it wasn’t a bad thing even years ago but I think it became a thing where people made fun of it,” she said.
