Jennifer Lopez forced to answer awkward question on whether she's divorced Ben Affleck at film premiere

Jennifer Lopez was awkwardly put on the spot amid Ben Affleck divorce speculation swirling around the internet.

The celebrity couple have been married since 2022, and some reports have alleged that the pair, who famously split in 2004, are going through a rough patch.

Affleck, 51, is reportedly living at his own place in Brentwood, as Lopez, 54, was spotted last week (16 May) with her wedding ring on.

However, the rumour-mill has seriously been in overdrive after Lopez 'liked' a brutal break-up post on social media.

The post read: "You can't build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves.

"We can't expect someone to see us when they can't even see themselves.

"Getting in a relationship is the easy part. Nurturing and fostering it is a different story.

"After all, love is not a feeling, it's action."

Amid all the speculation, Lopez was asked directly about her relationship during a press conference for her new Netflix film Atlas in Mexico City on Wednesday (May 22).

The journalist 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?"

Lopez's co-star Simu Liu, immediately chimed in: "Ok, we're not doing that.

"Don't come in with that energy, please."

The 'On the Floor' singer then made her own comment, adding: "You know better than that."

After the clip went viral on social media, fans were quick to voice their opinion, as one person wrote: "She looks so hurt when asked that question. They should just leave her alone."

And second added: "Instead of being asking about Ben Affleck ask questions about her work and her next projects that's what people care to know not her private life that's her problem not ours."

A third also said: "Give her some space!!! She looks very uncomfortable with the question."

"She went to promote her movie, not to mention her private life," penned a fourth.

While another argued: "Okaaay but you put your whole love life out there, (private letters and all) in a movie! And you wanna shame someone for asking about it?"

Lopez has been out promoting the new sci-fi film without her husband.
