Jennifer Lopez recently expressed her displeasure at questions regarding her marriage to Ben Affleck during a panel promoting her film Atlas. Despite the moderator quickly shutting down the question asked by an audience member, Lopez shared her disappointment at the topic being brought up, indicating that it should be known better not to discuss such personal matters. This incident occurred during the promotion of her new film, with Lopez attending premieres in Los Angeles and Mexico City on her own, without Affleck by her side. The actor was seen out to dinner in Santa Monica during the same time frame as Lopez’s event in Mexico City.
Reports have surfaced that Lopez and Affleck are facing challenges in their relationship, with sources indicating that they are often on different pages due to Lopez’s focused work commitments. Despite Affleck having moved out of their Los Angeles mansion several weeks ago, sources reveal that the couple is not currently planning to separate. Both Lopez and Affleck have been seen wearing their wedding rings, though Affleck was spotted without his ring last week. The couple initially met in the 2000s while filming Gigli, with Affleck proposing in 2002 and the engagement being called off shortly before their supposed wedding. They rekindled their romance in 2021, eventually getting married in Las Vegas in July of that year.
Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, has reportedly been encouraging him to work through their marital problems, offering her full support to their relationship. Garner and Affleck share three children together and finalized their divorce in 2018 after announcing their split in 2015. Lopez, on the other hand, was previously married to Marc Anthony and Ojani Noa before marrying Affleck. The singer and actress shares twins with Anthony and was previously married for a short period to Noa in 1997. While neither Lopez nor Affleck have publicly addressed the rumors surrounding their relationship, Lopez did briefly mention her husband and their engagement in a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
During the interview, Lopez shared a story about Barbra Streisand complimenting the engagement ring Affleck had given her years ago. The incident occurred while Streisand was examining the ring, impressed by its size, to which Lopez proudly acknowledged the ring was indeed a big diamond. Despite the speculation and reports surrounding the couple’s relationship troubles, both Lopez and Affleck have remained mostly silent on the matter. The audience and fans are left to wonder about the future of the couple and whether they will be able to work through their challenges and remain together in the long term.
