Rumours that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt secretly married over the weekend have been denied by a number of sources.
Initial reports suggested that the couple tied the knot in a church in New Orleans on Saturday.
However, Rev Tony Talavera, owner of the French Quarter Wedding chapel where the wedding was rumoured to have taken place, later told Life & Style Weekly: "Brad and Angelina did not get married by us."
"I have not met them personally. This just got out of control. Their publicist asked me to give out a statement," he said.
Talavera said that he did not usually give information about who married at the chapel but said that a representative for Pitt had asked him to "quash any misinformation that's out there".
A source close to the couple also told People magazine that there was "no wedding".
