Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez had a not-exactly-relaxing shopping trip together in Italy as they jetted off following their lavish wedding celebrations.
The newlyweds eloped to Vegas in July, and last weekend celebrated their nuptials with friends and family at their 87-acre and $8.9million (£7.3million) Georgia estate this weekend.
Jennifer – who looked incredible in a white couture Ralph Lauren gown with a trailing veil and train – and Ben were seen heading off in a private jet shortly after the ceremony.
Now it’s apparent the new husband and wife headed straight to Europe, as they have been seen taking in the sights and shops of Milan.
Fans of the couple, lovingly named Bennifer, were on top of the world when it was revealed they had reunited 20 years after first becoming engaged, and interest in the pair has – unsurprisingly – remained high.
And as Ben and Jennifer visited some shops in the centre of Milan this week, they saw this first hand.

The couple hit the streets on Thursday as they enjoyed a stroll in the city, and needed to be escorted by bodyguards to make room for them among the gathered crowds.
And, thanks to social media and fans understandably freaking out and spreading the word, the crowds quickly grew.
Ben and Jennifer reportedly headed into a couple of boutiques to do some shopping, with the number of fans growing by the minute.

As they perused the items for sale in the lavish Brunello Cuccinelli store, their bodyguards organised for a car to park up directly by the store, with Bennifer – with some difficulty – pushing through the crowds to get to their vehicle.
While it can’t have been the most relaxing of shopping trips, the newlyweds still had smiles on their faces as they greeted fans, with JLo snapped waving at the crowds who had gathered, many holding mobile phones to take photos of their own.

The pair appear to be taking this trip solo, after enjoying a honeymoon earlier int the summer with their children, who were also present at their recent wedding celebrations.
Ben shares son Samuel Garner Affleck, 11, and daughters, Violet, 16, and Seraphina Affleck, 13, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
JLo, meanwhile, has twins Emme and Max, 14, who she shares with ex Marc Anthony.

Their big day boasted a star-studded guest list, including Ben’s close friend Matt Damon, and Jay and Silent Bob actors Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes.
Following the ceremony, the wedding party went on to celebrate at the Oyster House at the estate.
The couple’s whirlwind romance began dating in July 2002 before they got engaged in November the same year.

However, they eventually postponed their wedding which had been scheduled for September 2003, and split in January 2004.
More than 17 years after their split, Ben and Jen got back together in spring 2021 and the rest, as they say, is history.
