Clark County, Nevada, marriage records show the couple snatched up a marriage license on July 16. “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” she wrote in her OnTheJLo newsletter a few hours after their “I do’s,” even sharing photos and videos from their nuptials. The ceremony was low-key and “exactly what we wanted,” she added, revealing that she wore “a dress from an old movie” and Ben wore a jacket from his closet.

R.I.P.
Ivana Trump was laid to rest on July 20. Among those attending her funeral at St. Vincent Ferrer Roman Catholic Church in New York City were her first ex-husband, former President Donald Trump, as well as their children: Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric. The invite-only service took place just steps from the late businesswoman’s longtime Upper East Side residence. “It was an elegant and wonderful send-off for Ivana Trump,” publicist R. Couri Hay told Fox News. “The church was blanketed in red flowers, red roses — Ivana’s favorite flowers. It was majestic, it was sober. I would say that the church was drenched in tears.” Ivana died last week in her home after a fall at 73.
Flight trouble
Kylie Jenner got ripped all week after fans discovered she took a flight on her private jet to travel about 30 miles. The flight — from Van Nuys to Camarillo — lasted approximately 12 minutes. Had she driven, she would have been behind the wheel for about 45 minutes. Incidentally, Kylie’s house is a 30-minute drive to Van Nuys, so the trip didn’t exactly save her time. Kylie was was bombarded with backlash because private planes are notoriously horrible for the environment and contribute to climate change. “Can’t wait to see Kylie Jenner post environmental awareness pics on her [Instagram] stories as if she isn’t single-handedly doing more damage to the environment than most of us with her 3 min flights,” one social media user fumed. She was also dubbed a “climate criminal.”
