During a recent appearance in Mexico City to promote her new Netflix film Atlas, Jennifer Lopez, the iconic singer and actress, was faced with questions about the state of her marriage with Ben Affleck. It seems that rumors of a split between the two have been circulating and a journalist couldn't resist asking J Lo directly about it.
The reporter boldly asked, "Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? What is the truth behind these rumors? For the Mexican press, can you clarify the situation?" Thankfully, J Lo had Simu Liu, her co-star in Atlas, to come to her defense. He quickly shut down the reporter's question, saying, "We're not going there. Thank you all for being here. We really appreciate it."
But J Lo couldn't let the reporter's question go without saying something. She leaned forward, making eye contact with the journalist and coldly responded, "You know better than that." Liu also chimed in, saying, "Come on, let's not bring that energy here, please."
Before ending the Q&A, Liu took a moment to praise J Lo's dedication to diversity and representation in the film industry. He said, "I just want to say one thing. Jen is a producer on this movie, and the reason I am here and why Sterling K. Brown was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares. She cares about representation and diversity, and she's a boss."
J Lo, who seemed to have shaken off the awkward encounter, jokingly added in Spanish, "Thank you. No one asked me anything in Spanish, but okay." She then blew a kiss to the audience as they laughed. Despite the couple's efforts to brush off the rumors, they continue to swirl around the state of their marriage.
Bennifer, as they are often referred to, first dated in the early 2000s, got engaged in 2002, and broke up in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021, eventually getting married in 2022. However, recent reports suggest that their marriage may be on the rocks.
An insider told In Touch, "The writing is on the wall – it's over. They're headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben's] not to blame!" The source also mentioned that Affleck has moved out of their shared home and is focusing on his work and children.
These reports are in line with sightings of J Lo house hunting, despite having just bought a multi-million dollar home with Affleck a year ago. "They'll never stop loving each other, but she can't control him, and he can't change her. There's no way it could have lasted," the insider explained.
"They waited almost two decades to get back together, but in the end, they just couldn't make it work. They both said they'd matured and learned from their mistakes, but some of the bigger issues that tore them apart the first time remained the same," the source added.
