Jennifer Lopez SHUTS DOWN Reporter Who Asked About Ben Affleck SPLIT Rumors

Jennifer Lopez is shutting down those Ben Affleck split rumors! The actress stepped out in Mexico City for a press conference for her Netflix film, 'Atlas,' alongside co-star Simu Liu. Jennifer is asked by a reporter about the rumored marital troubles with her husband, and replies to the question by saying, 'You know better than that.' Amid the alleged relationship struggles, a source recently told ET, 'Jen and Ben's relationship is not over yet, but they have been staying in separate homes and the tension has been high. They are taking a second to figure out what each of them is going through and wants. Both of them have been very down.'

[@mariej9176]

Oh she is soooo getting divorced...tried to play it down with that laughter 😅

[@I1FOLLOWJESUS]

Jen is the one who jas put her love life out there, and she wont answer the question? Then dont try and promote a movie of your love life and not answer that.

[@Senoritagata-nu5te]

The movie being promoted was "Atlas" its her newest movie it wasn't about "The greatest love story that's the old movie. So the reporter should be asking about the new movie "Atlas"

[@saharagoddess1]

She has choice and she can answer if she wants to or not. Will her answer put food in your plate? If its a sensitive topic to her then she has a right to decline. They're older now and set in their ways they can figure it out.

[@popeyethesailorman75]

The Love Story never told 😂

[@steffiemac]

I dont understand what she means when she says "You know better than that" to the journalist. Shes been shouting from the rooftops about Ben since they got back together, even writing an album about it and making some ridiculous movie.... but now the subject is off limits and people should "know better" than to ask?!

[@annacoribioanna]

Reporters were told they could NOT ask about Ben, these were interviews ONLY for the Atlas movie and reporters were brief on that PRIOR to being given permission to be part of the room. A reporter from a Mexican television said they did not, and would not ask about Ben because that was part of the contract. Netflix did not want attention away from the ATLAS movie interviews. This reporter new he wasn't supposed to do that but he did anyway so that's why she said you know better than that because it was so unprofessional and all the reporters there knew it. You go jlo for calling this trash reporters out!

[@jakeconstant7231]

…. I think the reporter should’ve known better that it wasn’t the time or place. That was a press conference about ATLAS, and Atlas has jack diddly squat to do with her marriage. And that reporter knows better.

[@deevillarreal9475]

[@LukasWeber64]

I mean, you might post about your spouse where your coworkers and casual friends can see, but that doesn’t mean it would be okay for them to ask personal questions about things that you clearly don’t want to talk about. I’m not saying it’s the same thing; my point is just that “if you talk about your relationship publicly, this means it’s okay for anyone to ask you any uncomfortable personal question they like” is clearly not what most of us actually believe and live by in our real lives.

[@JordannAlexander]

It's disrespectful to talk about HER personal life while she's there to talk about THEIR movie anyways

[@DCnativeArtist]

What's ridiculous is you commenting on someone's relationship. She is an artist who will produce art that reflects her life. She did not do it the way you are trying to spin it. She only shared what she wanted to share and she said many times its not all true just bits and pieces. You just running with anything you want to make of it. And regardless, nothing gives any a stranger or any human a right to question someone about their personal life no matter if they are famous or not. 💯 btw get a life!!

[@oliverlehman9345]

Ben Affleck looks like he has high anxiety and stress his face says it all

[@selmahare]

Yep he looks like he has no business being in a relationship right now, and even less a relationship with another high profile celebrity, cause he needs to take care of himself. Her extremely fast paced, constantly on the spotlight life, is not what he needs right now, or perhaps even ever. He also kind of looks and acts like he’s done with being a celebrity himself, to be honest. And as for a next partner, because men can’t be alone, it will have to be someone who is grounding to him and level headed, someone a bit more girl next door, salt of the earth type of woman, someone like his first wife to be honest. J Lo’s life is too crazy and too lacking in substance for him. Lopez is vapid and self-centred, and she’s like a donkey with a carrot with her endless ambition and dissatisfaction, constantly chasing more and more money and fame cause whatever she gets to her is never enough; he’s a recovery alcoholic, and people like that need a twelve step life, grounded, calm, with plenty of healthy distractions from the addiction and the demons behind the addiction - I mean healthy distractions like exercise, nature, clean air, meditation, again a calm relaxed environment, a family home with some cake baking in the oven, pets, all those salt of the earth things. That’s what he needs, not all that LA craziness that can so easily take him back to his addiction.

[@christinebuckingham8369]

It was both awkward and unkind to ask her about her personal life and NOT the Film which is the reason for the press conference.

[@bettyekey3781]

Yes, it was. I agree with that. Wrong time and place to ask that question , about her personal life. She is doing press for her new film "Atlas", not the place to ask a question about her divorce rumours between her and Ben. I feel sorry for her, sometimes, tough being famous and in the limelight all the time. She went thru this with Alex, too, 3 years ago, and it was awkward, then, as well.

[@user-yb7zz9cc9s]

If she truly wanted to shut things down better she wouldn’t have dodged the question the way she did as it makes things sound like the rumors were true. She’s been married about 4-5 times not that it’s any of our business but it’s public knowledge, everyone knows. Most people know her marriages never workout it’s what she’s slowly being known for unfortunately. I remember when she first married Affleck people were already saying it wasn’t going to last… looks to be true so far but guess time will tell. As far at the movie goes I haven’t heard anything about it lol. No offense but most movies she’s starred in haven’t exactly been box office breaking movies. I’ve always known her to be a better singer than an actress and even then I think she’s been backing down from it all, which isn’t a bad thing either.
