J-Lo marries in secret
Lopez and Judd got engaged in May
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez has married her dancer boyfriend Cris Judd in a private ceremony in California.

The couple wed on Saturday night in front of 170 friends and relatives at a home in a Los Angeles suburb.

Lopez's manager Benny Medina was best man, while Lopez's best friend from childhood, Arlene Rodriguez, was maid of honour.

Lopez and Combs were together until February

Lopez, 31, met Judd, 32, when he performed on stage during her tour soon after her high-profile split from rapper P Diddy, aka Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs.

"It was beautiful. The couple couldn't be happier," said Lopez's spokesman Alan Nierob.

The couple will live in Los Angeles after returning from honeymoon in an undisclosed location, he said.

The pair are due to attend the Versace fashion show in Milan and it is thought they will incorporate it into their honeymoon plans.

Lopez's dress was designed by Valentino despite reports that she would be wearing a �10,000 Donatella Versace dress.

This is the star's second marriage, after divorcing model Ojani Noa in 1998.

Lopez, 31, was involved with Sean "Puffy" Combs for several years but they split during his criminal trial in which he was acquitted of gun charges.

Chart success

Lopez and Judd became engaged in May but only celebrated with a party in August.

Judd, who has recently choreographed two Lopez concerts in Puerto Rico, has not been married before.

Lopez is currently at number two in the US singles chart with I'm Real, while she has enjoyed hits including My Love Don't Cost a Thing, Play and Ain't It Funny in the UK.

She received critical acclaim for her movie Out of Sight, opposite George Clooney, and has also acted in The Cell, Out of Sight and Selena.
