Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back in the spotlight, but this time it’s not for a new movie project or a red-carpet appearance. Recent media speculation has swirled around the couple’s relationship, with rumors suggesting a possible split. However, JLo shut down these rumors in a recent press conference, shutting down a reporter’s question with grace and class.
Facing the Question Head-On: Jennifer Lopez Responds to Divorce Rumors
During a press conference for her upcoming film Atlas in Mexico City, a reporter asked a very personal question. “Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumors?” the reporter inquired in front of the gathered media. While Lopez initially smiled and held the microphone, ready to answer, her co-star Simu Liu quickly intervened.
“Okay, we’re not doing that,” Liu said firmly. He then thanked the press for their time before Lopez herself leaned in to address the reporter directly. “You know better than that,” she said simply, her gaze unwavering.
Not missing a beat, Liu jumped back in to offer praise for Lopez’s work on the film, deflecting the attention back to the project at hand. “Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I’m here and why Sterling [K. Brown] was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares,” he said. “And Jen cares about things like representation and diversity, and she’s a boss.”
The exchange highlights the challenges celebrities face in balancing their public and private lives. While Lopez handled the situation with professionalism, it’s a reminder of the constant scrutiny they endure.
Are JLo and Ben Affleck Headed for Splitsville?
The rumors surrounding JLo and Ben Affleck’s marriage reportedly stem from the actress’s busy schedule and Affleck’s absence from recent events. With Lopez promoting Atlas and filming another movie, Kiss of a Spider Woman, on top of the 2024 Met Gala, speculation arose about a potential strain on their relationship.
According to reports, sources close to Lopez claim the couple’s marriage is “not in the best place at the moment.” Furthermore, Affleck’s reported move out of their shared L.A. home and his absence from both the Los Angeles and Mexico City premieres of Atlas fueled the rumors.
However, it’s important to note that both Lopez and Affleck were recently seen wearing their wedding rings. Only time will tell if the rumors hold any truth, but for now, JLo has clearly stated her stance on the matter.
For fans of Bennifer 2.0, this is surely a time to wait and see how things unfold.
