Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may be seen leaving a hospital Friday afternoon as Ben’s mother receives stitches after an accident at her son’s Georgia house in exclusive photos acquired by DailyMail.com.
According to a source who spoke to DailyMail.com, Christopher Anne Boldt, Ben’s mother, wounded her leg after falling off a pier at the Riceboro property. According to reports, Ben located her and called 911.
After the medical incident at the location where she and Ben are celebrating their opulent wedding this weekend, JLo came carrying a Dior bag, downcast, and dressed in a summer dress.
Outside the building, Affleck could be seen pacing and smoking a cigarette while sporting a T-shirt, shorts, and a baseball cap that was turned backwards. His nails seemed to be painted crimson, and a mask partly covered his face.
According to a source, the event was “not serious.”
In contrast, the ambulance rushed onto the Riceboro property about midday and remained there for 20 minutes until the Liberty County Medical Center truck proceeded north in dramatic images captured by DailyMail.com.
The ambulance raced down the highway while being escorted by police, sometimes reaching speeds of more than 120 mph.
The festivities were supposed to begin today evening with a rehearsal dinner, but just after lunchtime, the constant stream of vehicles carrying musical instruments and party supplies was stopped.
The wedding celebrations got off to a dramatic start just as guests started to arrive for the afternoon’s activities, with one of the couple’s friends becoming stuck in a line of automobiles that were halted by security while the medical issue was attended to.
Later today, Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 50, will start their wedding festivities. The major ceremony will take place on Saturday, and a family BBQ will take place on Sunday.
Guadalupe Lopez’s mother arrived at Savannah Hilton Head International Airport yesterday as preparations, including the installation of a big white marquee on the lawn, were well under way. DailyMail.com photographed the moment.
In preparation for her wedding festivities this weekend, Lopez was seen shopping on Thursday in Georgia.
The singer and her kids were seen in Savannah’s downtown.
In a beige shirt and baseball hat, her husband followed them while the party preparations at his home went on.
The 86-acre, $8 million mansion was purchased by Affleck in 2003.
Guadalupe Lopez, Lopez’s 76-year-old mother, also arrived in Georgia on Thursday for the weekend.
After a two-hour Delta trip from New York, an exclusive DailyMail.com picture shows Puerto Rican socialite and former school employee walking through Savannah Hilton Head International Airport.
The mother-of-three carried her own bag and dressed casually for the vacation in patterned slacks, a red jacket, and Nautica shoes.
Guadalupe, also known as “Lupe,” was asked whether she was anticipating the wedding, which will happen this weekend, but she chose not to respond.
The 76-year-old was driven off in a black Suburban SUV, which was afterwards observed being escorted by neighbourhood police into the opulent party’s venue, Ben Affleck’s 84-acre, $8 million Riceboro house.
In her most recent Netflix documentary Halftime, Lopez acknowledged having a “difficult” relationship with her mother and said she used to “beat the s***” out of her.
‘She [Rodriguez] did what she had to do to live, and that made her strong, but it also made her tough,’ the 52-year-old actor added. You was pounded to s*** by her.
Lopez also discussed her 18-year-old move out after a confrontation with her mother. My mother stated, “If you’re going to live in this place, you’re going to acquire your degree,” the woman said.
We had a heated argument one night, so I simply left.
In the documentary, Rodriguez also made an appearance and admitted to being critical of Lopez and her two sisters, Leslie and Lynda.
She is heard telling Lopez in one scene: “I always had the greatest hopes of them.” It wouldn’t be a deal-breaker.
It was simply done to prove to you that you were capable of more. To be honest, Jennifer was the most difficult for me. We often butted heads.
I was far from an ideal mother, she continued. Everything I did, I always say, was done with their best interests in mind.
The two are now close, and Guadalupe revealed to Sunny Hostin on The View that she had always known Ben Affleck to be her daughter’s real love.
After the couple’s unexpected wedding in Vegas, Hostin said, “I knew they would get back together.” I was aware of their adoration.
I’ve discussed it with Lupe, her mother. Ben is Lupe’s genuine love, she has consistently said.
Affleck, 50, has also had to deal with challenging family dynamics, particularly with his 77-year-old Scottish father Timothy.
Affleck Sr., a retired social worker who resides in upstate New York, shared his son’s history of alcohol consumption and has been many rehab stays.
Affleck discussed his father’s struggle with alcoholism in 2020, telling People magazine: “My father didn’t go clean until I was 19 so I know how essential those years are and they are all the more vital for me.
I also recognise my father as the person who gave it his all, battled addiction, and eventually conquered it.
“My father was undoubtedly a low-level alcoholic, but he hasn’t had a drink in thirty years.” Now that I think about it, I consider it to be his life’s most important lesson and legacy: that he significantly enhanced it.
Affleck Sr. acknowledged that he was kept in the dark when the pair got back together, and it is unknown whether he would attend the wedding.
The 77-year-old told the Sun in June 2021 that he hadn’t seen his boys in two years and that he had no idea the couple was back together.
When I visit my kids, I ask them about their life, and they tell me anything they want to.
Given their jobs and Covid, “I haven’t seen my kids in so long.”
Casey Affleck, 48, will be there for the important event on Saturday and is also likely to be present for the rehearsal dinner on Friday and the family BBQ on Sunday.
The wedding has been four months in the making, according to DailyMail.com, and large tents have already been set up on the grounds of Affleck’s plantation-style house.
In the previous day, trucks bringing food and wedding supplies have also been seen arriving. The ceremony is scheduled to take place in the middle of the property, next to a structure called the Farmhouse.
Jay Shetty, a well-known life coach, has been asked to preside.
Exclusive images acquired by DailyMail.com provide a tantalising glimpse at the size of the wedding festivities that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will be hosting this weekend in Georgia.
A month after privately exchanging vows in Las Vegas’ Little White Chapel, Mr. and Mrs. Affleck are having a “intimate” party at the 50-year-old actor’s stately plantation-style mansion in Riceboro, which is located 37 miles south of Savannah.
And when two international celebrities are hosting, this is what “intimate” looks like.
Because the multi-day extravaganza, which will include a rehearsal dinner on Friday, the main celebration on Saturday, and a BBQ on Sunday, has been four months in the making, DailyMail.com can disclose that even though the public just heard about the party this week.
As far as we know, the festivities on Saturday will be centred on the Farmhouse, a structure that is located in the middle of the property.
On Saturday, the already-married couple will renew their vows in a ceremony officiated by celebrity life coach and well-known podcaster Jay Shetty.
According to Page Six, Shetty has known the couple for a long time and has hosted celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kobe Bryant, and Will Smith on his podcast, “On Purpose.”
Huge trucks with food and equipment can be seen parked on site, and large marquees have been set up.
Amid order to provide visitors with an ice-cold beverage in the oppressive heat of the Georgia tidal marsh where Ben’s property stands above the Newport River, sprung wood flooring has been built, furniture has been hauled in, and ice-machines have been put around the property.
Beyond the forested area shown in these images is where the alleged “Big House” is located, on the bank of a river.
It is 6,000 square feet in size and is home to Affleck and Lopez, 53, along with their five children: son Samuel, 10, twins Emme and Max Lopez, 14, Seraphina Affleck, 13, and Violet Affleck, 16.
The Oyster House, a 10,000 square foot property with three master suites and five additional bedrooms, is situated next to it. It was initially intended to be a lodge for a posh, exclusive hunting club, but that never materialised.
Instead, it is a piece of Affleck’s personal realm and, according to DailyMail.com, is where some of the wedding guests will stay.
There are 13 additional rental homes on the property that have been reserved for the starry visitors of the couple. DailyMail.com has heard that several people, including Casey Affleck, have already arrived.
When Affleck and Lopez started dating in 2003, he acquired the house, which had great significance for him.
They apparently planned to be married there the first time around, but their high-stakes engagement collapsed under the weight of their shared fame.
In 2018, Affleck listed the house for $8.9 million. The next year, he lowered the asking price to $7.6 million before discreetly taking it off the market in June 2020.
Thursday saw heavy security. The entrance to Hampton Island, the natural reserve where Affleck’s home is located, is blocked by a tall wooden fence.
All visitors are advised by a sign to have their ID prepared for inspection by the security guards who serve as sentinels and the neighbourhood Sheriff Deputy who is always stationed at the entrance.
According to Homes And Gardens, the stunning estate has a central palace built in a plantation style spanning 4,000 acres.
Beautiful white columns surround the front entry, and a long staircase ascends from the circular driveway to the second floor, which has a balcony looking out over the front yard.
Rustic chandeliers and primarily white furnishings are used to adorn the rooms in the main residence.
A study has various couches and built-in bookshelves made of darker wood, making it the perfect place for late-night conversation.
The outside has a sizable balcony that looks out into the patio, which is furnished with rocking rockers.
A magnificent view of the events would be provided by the balconies within the structure, and the huge central area could easily be transformed for eating or dance.
Visitors to the island where the property is situated must have permission from a resident on the island in order to cross a bridge to it since the region is very private.
