Jennifer Lopez wanted to maintain professionalism during the press tour for her latest Netflix movie, “Atlas.” She reportedly prohibited any questions related to her marriage with Ben Affleck during the Los Angeles and Mexico City premieres. Even though Lopez’s husband, Affleck, was absent from the events, she only participated in group interviews with her co-stars Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown.
Affleck was spotted filming “The Accountant 2” during the time of the premieres, which may have been the reason for his absence. Despite the rumors that Lopez and Affleck have been living separately, Lopez still had to shut down a reporter in Mexico who asked about divorce speculation during a panel. Affleck was seen wearing his wedding ring while leaving a restaurant but sources suggest that he has realized that divorce is likely the best outcome for their relationship.
Rumors of divorce began when Affleck skipped the 2024 Met Gala and had not been photographed with Lopez for over a month. However, the couple has been seen together on several occasions since, including attending his daughter Seraphina’s school play. Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021 after calling off their initial engagement in 2004 and subsequently eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.
The insider mentioned that Affleck feels like the past two years of their relationship were a “fever dream” and that he now realizes a divorce is the only solution to their issues. The couple’s reconciliation and marriage in 2022 were met with much fanfare, but it seems like their love story may be ending on a less than ideal note. Despite their attempts to work through their problems, it appears that a divorce is imminent for Lopez and Affleck.
Lopez shutting down any questions related to their marriage during the press tour suggests that she wants to keep their personal issues private. Despite the rumors and speculation surrounding their relationship, the couple continues to be in the public eye and is seen together at various events. It remains to be seen how the relationship will progress in the future and whether the couple will address the rumors of divorce publicly.
