Jennifer Lopez seemed to dismiss divorce rumors with Ben Affleck, pushing back against a reporter’s question about the couple.
During a panel in Mexico City on Wednesday for her upcoming film Atlas, the Enough star firmly dismissed a reporter’s inquiry about the divorce rumors.
“You know better than that,” Lopez answered with a beleaguered grin as seen in El Gordo y la Flaca’s post on Instagram.
In the comments for the post, fans were mixed about J-Lo’s reponse to the reporter. Some fans feel like Lopez put her personal life on blast herself with docmentaries like this year’s The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
“Okaaay but you put your whole love life out there, (private letters and all) in a movie! And you wanna shame someone for asking about it?,” one fan noted.
However, other fans felt the actress should only have to answer questions about the film she’s promoting. “She looks so hurt when asked that question. They should just leave her alone,” a fan insisted.
Lopez has been promoting her upcoming Netflix movie, amidst rumors that she and Affleck are on the verge of breaking up. On Tuesday, she attended the film’s second premiere in Mexico alone.
Rumors of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Being on the Rocks Have Stepped Up This Past Week
Jennifer Lopez shutting down the reporter’s questions comes on the heels of reports that Ben Affleck has “come to his senses” regarding his troubled relationship with the pop star.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity,” an alleged insider told Page Six. “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream. He’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
Over the past week, breakup rumors have intensified for Bennifer 2.0. Reports have suggested that Ben is staying in a separate residence. Photos allegedly spotted Affleck in a Brentwood neighborhood, with multiple outlets claiming he stayed there overnight.
That night, the couple appeared to pull it together as Affleck picked up Lopez and her 16-year-old daughter, Emme, from a play featuring Ben’s 15-year-old, Seraphina. Photos showed Affleck with a serious expression, and reports noted that he and Lopez did not kiss or hug upon seeing each other.
Meanwhile, rumors indicate that Affleck is on the hunt for a new home in Los Angeles. Similarly, Lopez is said to be looking to purchase an investment property for herself.
