NEW YORK - After months of speculation,
Ben Affleck and
Jennifer Garner have tied the knot — and she's pregnant.
Representatives for both actors confirmed the marriage to The Associated Press on Thursday. Their publicists, Ken Sunshine and Nicole King, also confirmed that Garner is pregnant with her first child.
Sunshine and King would not give any other details.
The confirmation came after Us Weekly reported that Affleck, 32, and Garner, 33, were wed Wednesday at the Parrot Cay resort in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. The National Enquirer also released photos it claimed showed Garner arriving on the islands with her "Alias" co-star
Victor Garber.
In stark contrast to Affleck's much publicized relationship with
Jennifer Lopez, he and Garner have been tightlipped about their romance. Aside from appearing at a Boston Red Sox game last fall, they have stayed out of the public eye.
Reports in April about an engagement were never confirmed. In May, E! News reported that Garner was pregnant and the baby was due in November, but neither star confirmed that report.
This is first marriage for Affleck and the second for Garner, who divorced actor
Scott Foley in March 2004 after 3 1/2 years of marriage. Affleck and Lopez called off their September 2003 wedding and broke off their engagement in January 2004. Lopez married singer
Marc Anthony later that year.
Affleck co-starred with Garner in 2003's "Daredevil," her first big movie role, but they didn't begin dating until last year.
"He's really a gentleman," Garner told AP Radio after they shot the action thriller. "And he's not afraid to laugh at himself or you. And I knew, I just had an instinct that he would take care of me in my first step out there, and he did."
Said Affleck of Garner: "I don't think she thinks that she is as drop-dead gorgeous as she is, and I think that is what gives her this incredibly appealing quality."

Everybody wins in this situation. They get a baby, and the rest of the world doesn't have to sit through any Daredevil or Elektra sequels for some time.
