Jennifer Lopez didn't wear a movie dress for her wedding to Ben Affleck.

The 54-year-old singer/actress tied the knot with her longtime love in Las Vegas in July 2022 before hosting a second ceremony in Georgia the following month, and fans have long speculated Jennifer wore a dress from her 2004 film 'Jersey Girl' when she exchanged vows with Ben in Sin City after she wrote in a fan newsletter that she walked down the aisle in a "dress from an old movie".

However, Jennifer has now explained she had a house full of wedding dresses because of her film projects, but the gown she chose was never featured onscreen.

She told Variety: "No, that's not true [about the 'Jersey Girl' dress]. I wish it was. I wish I did have that dress. I don't have that dress. No, this was a different dress that I had"

She added: "Believe it or not, I was doing so much press for 'Marry Me' or 'Shotgun Wedding' or one of those, so I had all these wedding dresses in my house.

"And when we at the square of the moment decided to get married that day, I just had a dress. It's not from a movie. I never wore it in a movie."

Jennifer previously opened up about the wedding in her On The JLo newsletter, writing: "So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives.

"They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last."
