Jennifer Lopez has been trying to avoid having to address the rumors about marriage problems between her and Ben Affleck, but during a press conference on her Atlas press tour, a reporter asked her point blank, and she had to say something.
J. Lo wasn’t happy about being put on the spot, but she answered anyway, even though her response sounded more like a warning than an answer.
She didn’t clarify anything about the divorce rumors, but the fact that Ben Affleck is not with her on the tour continues to make fans curious.
Jennifer Lopez Was Angry With A Reporter Who Asked About Ben Affleck
A bold Mexican reporter recently asked Jennifer Lopez a question about her allegedly strained relationship with Ben Affleck, and the singer didn’t like that. During a press conference in Mexico City for J.Lo’s new movie, fans could see how her face changed as she heard the question, as it’s shown in this video posted by a Mexican entertainment show.
The reporter inquired about the rumors surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck, and how much truth there was to them, but Jennifer Lopez refused to answer either way. She just stared at the reporter and stated “You know better than that.” Whether she meant that the press knew better than to believe the rumors or that they knew better than to ask is unclear, but she didn’t give any answers either way.
Jennifer Lopez has been on a press tour promoting Atlas, her new Netflix movie, and the fact that Ben Affleck didn’t join her on the tour has only fueled the rumors, but whether there will be a divorce announcement soon or not, it’s unlikely fans will find out through a press conference.
Ben Affleck Is Reportedly Enjoying Their Time Apart
Despite the rumors going around, sources claim that Ben Affleck is unbothered and is enjoying his time alone while Jennifer Lopez is away on her press tour. The actor went out to dinner in Santa Monica with some friends, and a source told PEOPLE that the actor was having a good time.
“He was in a great mood,” the source shared. “He seemed very relaxed and happy. Everyone chatted and seemed to enjoy.”
Another source explained that he’s “been busy filming this week too,” working on The Accountant 2, and he’s enjoying going to work as well. “He’s professional and shows up early on the set. He seems focused and ready to work when he arrives. He looks very happy and is super friendly with everyone on set.”
Just a few days ago, another insider told PEOPLE that J.Lo and Ben Affleck were “not in the best place,” as two years into their marriage, their widely different personalities are causing a strain.
“She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world,” the source explained. “He is more introspective and private. This has been difficult day-to-day.”
