Jennifer Lopez dreams of getting married "in a church, with a big dress", despite insisting she is not planning to wed boyfriend Casper Smart anytime soon.

The pop superstar has been dating her former backing dancer on and off since 2011, and they are currently back on after ringing in the New Year (16) together in Miami, Florida.

Jennifer, who shares twins Max and Emme with her third ex-husband Marc Anthony, admitted she was happier than ever with Casper during a recent taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, but she was adamant there are no plans to walk down the aisle this year (16).

"No wedding," she declared to Ellen when asked about a potential fourth marriage. "There's no wedding... Honest!"

However, that doesn't mean Jennifer, 46, isn't hoping to settle down once and for all in the future after finally learning to love herself first.

"I'm happy now because I feel like with or without a relationship I'm happy," she tells breakfast show Today. "Someone can add to your happiness, but that's not what's gonna make you happy and I have to get happy on my own.

"It's been a learning curve. I mean, I've had some great loves and I'm sure I'll have more."

Quizzed about the prospect of becoming a wife again years down the line, she responds, "Maybe."

"I love getting married!" she adds. "I really wanna get married in a church, with a big dress."

Jennifer wed Marc in a private ceremony at her Beverly Hills, California home in 2004, but they split in the summer of 2011 and finalised their divorce in 2014.

She was also previously wed to waiter Ojani Noa and dancer Cris Judd, while she was engaged to Ben Affleck and enjoyed a romance with rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
