Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez's latest nuptials could be ruled illegal, according to reports.   

The Daily Star claims her new husband, singer Marc Anthony, may have still technically been married.

Lopez: In a hurry?

Anthony dashed to the Dominican Republic last week to get a quickie divorce from his second wife Dayanara Torres, then got hitched to Lopez a few days later.           

However, Dominican Republic law dictates the divorce is not valid for 60 days - meaning Lopez and Anthony married eight weeks too early.  

The Daily Star says US Embassy documents from the Dominican Republic outlining divorce law clearly state that people have to wait 60 days before they remarry.           

Lopez, who has been married twice before, rushed off after the wedding to a film shoot in Los Angeles, leaving Anthony, 34, in New York.            

It has been rumoured J.Lo wanted to rush into the marriage because she is pregnant.       

As a Roman Catholic, the 33-year-old could not face having a baby out of wedlock.
