(CNN) -

There are now two JTs in showbiz.

"Yes, I'm changing my name," Jessica Biel told People.

The 30-year-old "Total Recall" star, who wed Justin Timberlake, 31, on October 19 in a custom pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown, told the magazine she'll still be known as JB professionally.

"[B]ut for life, yes, I think it sounds great," she added. "I think I really won the jackpot of names."

The actress will next appear as Vera Miles in "Hitchcock," which is expected to open in limited theaters on November 23.
