Jennifer Lopez was finally asked point blank about the ongoing speculation that her marriage to Ben Affleck is over.
The On The Floor hitmaker, 54, was hit with the hot question during a press conference for her new Netflix film Atlas in Mexico City on Wednesday.
In a now-viral video, a male reporter shocked the crowd when he asked Lopez to confirm if the ‘Ben Affleck rumors’ were ‘real.’
The audience applauded J.Lo for how she handed the situation while one of the panelists – her co-star Simu Liu – warned other reporters to steer clear of that line of questioning.
‘Don’t come in here with that energy, please’ the 35-year-old Canadian actor said.
At another point during the presentation Simu chimed in to defend J-Lo once more as he said: ‘If I could just end on one thing.
‘Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I’m here and the reason why Sterling (K. Brown) was in this beautiful movie was because Jen cares. Jen cares about things like representation and diversity — and she’s a boss! ‘
