Lopez had been promoting her new Netflix movie Atlas in Mexico City without Affleck by her side. Affleck was also a noticeable absentee from last month's Met Gala event, despite the fact that Lopez was a co-chairperson.
The actress and singer was promoting this film when she was asked by reporters about the current state of marriage. The couple have been married since 2022.
In a video of the press conference shared via social media, Lopez was asked: "Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumours? "What is the truth? Para le press le Mexicana [for the Mexican press], what is the truth of the situation?".
This question was quickly shot down by J-Lo's co-star, Simu Liu, who chimed in with: "Ok, we’re not doing that. Thank you so much guys, we really appreciate it. Thank you".
Jennifer Lopez then remarked: "You know better than that". Liu then added: "Don't come in with that energy please".
"If I could just end on one thing", Liu said at the end of the press conference. "Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I am here and why Sterling [K Brown] was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares. And Jen cares about things like representation and diversity, and she’s a boss".
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were previously engaged in 2004, before splitting up. They reunited, before tying the knot in July 2022.
