Jennifer Lopez’s Answer to Ben Affleck Breakup Question Will Leave Your Jaw on the Floor

Jennifer Lopez refuses to let speculation play her for a fool. That’s why she had no problem shutting down a question about the breakup rumors surrounding herself and husband Ben Affleck. During a recent press conference for her new Netflix movie Atlas, J.Lo was asked point blank by a reporter to address her “situation” with the Oscar winner.

Her answer? After briefly laughing it off, the multi-hyphenate put up a serious front, leaned in and—as seen in footage captured by El Gordo y la Flaca—jokingly told the interviewer, “You know better than that.” Her costar Simu Liu also scolded the question, saying into the mic, “C’mon, don’t come in here with that.”

But that’s not to say Jennifer is refusing to talk about Ben. In fact, she did a quick mention of the Justice League star—who she married in Las Vegas in July 2022, before saying “I do” again a month later in Georgia—during her May 20 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. While sharing the story of how she met Barbra Streisand, Jennifer recalled the EGOT winner raving over the engagement ring Ben had given her, saying, “‘So that’s a big diamond.'” “It was so surreal,” Jennifer recounted of the encounter, “but I was just so taken by her.”

The “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer also cheekily referenced her marriage to Ben when talking about her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. After explaining to host Jimmy Kimmel that her kids find it “awkward” to watch her perform in racy costumes, she quipped, “I do do sexy things at home sometimes, but they don’t know that.”

For what it’s worth, Ben—who shares children Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15 and Samuel, 12 with ex-wife Jennifer Garner—has not publicly addressed the divorce rumors. However, he was spotted with his wedding ring on during a May 19 outing with the “Jenny From the Block” artist, while she wore her platinum band to the Los Angeles premiere of Atlas on May 20.
