— -- Jennifer Aniston is speaking out for the first time since her surprise wedding with Justin Theroux.

In addition to being a new bride, she has been keeping busy with a new movie out this week called “She’s Funny That Way.”

ABC News’ Nick Watt sat down with Aniston and co-star Kathryn Hahn to chat about the film, but also to address the “elephant in the room.”

“Congratulations!” Watt told the actress on her recent nuptials.

“Thank you so much,” Aniston responded.

When asked how she managed to keep the big day a secret, her reply was simple.

“Where there is a will, there is a way,” she said.

Guests were told they were coming to Theroux’s birthday party, “and it was,” Aniston, 46, explained.

“To be fair,” Hahn said, backing up her story, “there was no lying.”

But the two co-stars joked they had a big secret to reveal.

“It’s actually the two of us that are married,” Hahn quipped.

“We’re actually married,” Aniston said.

“That’s the big surprise,” Hahn replied.

In their new film, Aniston plays the most unsympathetic shrink to ever draw breath. She suggested her friend Hahn play the wife to Owen Wilson’s character, a philandering theater director, in this infidelity-laden comedy.

The movie, which premiered Wednesday night in Los Angeles, is directed by Peter Bogdanovich and sports cameos from Cybill Shepherd to Quentin Tarantino.
