Jennifer Lopez didn’t wear the wedding dress from Jersey Girl when she married Ben Affleck in Vegas: ‘I just had a dress, it’s not from a movie’

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

The 54-year-old singer and actress married her longtime love in Las Vegas in July 2022.

This came before she hosted a second ceremony in Georgia the following month.

And fans have long speculated that Jennifer wore a dress from her 2004 film Jersey Girl when she exchanged vows with Ben in Sin City.

The clues were found when she wrote in a fan newsletter that she was walking down the aisle in a “dress from an old movie.”

However, Jennifer has now explained that the dress is not from an old movie.

She said she had a house full of wedding dresses because of her film projects, but the dress she chose was never seen on screen.

She said Variety: ‘No, that’s not true (about the ‘Jersey Girl’ dress). I wish it were so. I wish I had that dress. I don’t have that dress. No, this was another dress I had.”

She added, “Believe it or not, I was doing so much press for Marry Me or Shotgun Wedding or something, so I had all these wedding dresses at home.

‘And when we decided on the square of the moment to get married that day, I just had a dress on. It’s not from a movie. I’ve never worn it in a movie.’

Jennifer previously opened up about the wedding in her On The JLo newsletter, writing, “So with the best witnesses you can imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the small chapel and gave each other the rings that we will 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 a long time ago and one that became reality (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and each other) a long, long time ago.”

Lopez is releasing three projects about her famous search for love: an ambitious musical film titled This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, her album This Is Me… Now, and a documentary about the making of the film and record , The greatest love story never told.

In a long interview with Varietyit is revealed that Lopez had used love letters written by Affleck while brainstorming her new album.

The documentary captures the moment Ben, 51, encounters a group of writers sifting through the collection of letters.

For inspiration, Jennifer provided her colleagues with the letters, a collection of writings that Affleck had called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

Variety reports that Affleck seemed “stunned” when he saw that the letters had been delivered to his wife’s colleagues.

‘I really found the beauty, the poetry and the irony in the fact that this is the greatest love story that has never been told. If you make a record about it, it’s a bit like storytelling,” Ben said to the camera.

Jennifer and Ben famously rekindled their romance 18 years after calling off their engagement in 2003. They eventually got married in Las Vegas and again in Georgia in 2022.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker offered his wife a lot of guidance in the making of her film, which she financed herself.

“He realized this was a surreal, fantastic journey we were on,” she explained.

Jennifer was advised by her husband to keep the film “very tight” as she was contributing her own money to the project.

She recalled her husband explaining the filmmaking process to her: “Ben told me, ‘You’re going to write it, and then you’re going to film it,’” she recalled.

“When you’re done, you do a rough cut, see what it takes, and reshoot for three days.” Then I said, ‘I can’t do that.’ that — I don’t have any money left!” But he said, “You’re going to re-record for a few days, and then you’re going to go back in and edit it. And you are going to tell your story.”

Affleck was shown the final cut of the film last year and praised his wife’s filmmaking efforts.

“He said, ‘You made a movie. For you. You made a great movie. You did it,'” she recalled.

“Honestly, I don’t care what happens now. That’s the biggest compliment I can get,” she said.

The film features an all-star cast such as Jane Fonda, Sofia Vergara and Neil deGrasse Tyson, along with supernatural elements, including a ‘Zodiac love council’ that scrutinizes her romantic foibles.

The wild project raised eyebrows from her inner circle, who advised her against shooting the film, suggesting it might be a bad idea, but JLo went ahead and made it anyway.

It also made her longtime production partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas “uncomfortable.”

During a late-night phone call from Lopez, JLo informed Elaine that she would contribute $20 million of her own money to finance the film.
