People are only just realising that J.Lo isn't the first Jennifer Affleck.
In case you didn't know, J.Lo and Ben Affleck officially tied the knot at the weekend, almost 20 years after they called off their first wedding in 2003.
J.Lo, 52, has changed her name to Jennifer Lynn Affleck - but people are just realising that she's not actually the first Jennifer Affleck.

Prior to reuniting, Ben was married to actor Jennifer Garner for 13 years, with the pair sharing three children together.
Back in 2005, it was reported that Jennifer would be taking Ben's name and becoming Jennifer Affleck. It was believed she changed her legal name, but not her professional name which remained as Garner.
And fans on social media were shocked when they realised, with one person commenting: "She’s not the first Jennifer Affleck!!!"
While another said: "Well, at least he never will say the wrong nome at the wrong time, right?"
And a third added: "Wait so Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez are/were both Jennifer Affleck."
Meanwhile a fourth commented: "Not the first time a Jennifer has become an Affleck."
J.Lo and Ben wed at A Little White Wedding Chapel on Saturday, with J.Lo announcing the happy news in a newsletter sent out on Sunday, 17 July.
"Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient," she wrote, signing off with Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
“They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love’. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children, and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to," she added.
"Stick around long enough and maybe you'll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at 12:30 in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through with your kids and the one you'll spend forever with."
It's believed the couple will also be hosting a celebration with family and friends at Ben's estate in Georgia, which so happens to be very sentimental to the famous pair.
According to TMZ, Ben and J.Lo had planned on getting married at the 87-acre estate back in 2003, before they called the wedding off.
We're so happy for these two!
