Jennifer Lopez will soon be called Jennifer Affleck for legal purposes after filing documents to legally change her last name to match her husband, Ben Affleck, following reports the couple married over the weekend in Nevada.
Court documents show the 52-year-old singer, listed as "Party 2," requested a "new name" on the marriage certificate filing, which was first received on Saturday, July 16, and filed on Sunday with the Clark County Clerk's Office.
Ben is listed as "Party 1" on the document, with his full name recorded as "Benjamin Geza Affleck."
It's unclear if the couple hosted a wedding or have plans to return to Las Vegas for an official ceremony, but Nevada state law requires a 10-day delivery of official documents to the courthouse.

BEN AFFLECK AND JENNIFER LOPEZ REPORTEDLY MARRIED AFTER OBTAINING NEVADA MARRIAGE LICENSE
Fox News Digital has contacted both Jennifer and Ben's representatives for comment.
The couple, who rekindled their romance last year after 17 years apart, received the marriage license on Saturday, July 16, according to court records.
JLo and Ben "did, indeed, get hitched" and said "I do" in the desert, per TMZ.
Lopez previously changed her name when she was married to singer Marc Anthony. Nearly six months after their divorce was finalized in 2014 — and three years after they had separated — Lopez dropped his surname, Muniz.
