Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage might or might not be in trouble, but you won’t get a straight answer from J-Lo.

The couple is taking some time apart amid the divorce rumors, while Jennifer Lopez is on a press tour on her own to promote her new movie Atlas, and she only wants to focus on this exciting new project for the duration of the tour.

J.Lo Banned All Ben Affleck Questions Before the 'Atlas' Press Tour

After an uncomfortable moment with a reporter in Mexico City, who bluntly asked her if there was any truth to the rumors that the couple was planning on divorcing, it was revealed that Jennifer Lopez had Netflix inform journalists in press conferences that they were not allowed to ask about her marriage.

Jennifer Lopez is not willing to address the rumors surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck, and that’s only causing more and more speculation. Following an uncomfortable exchange with a journalist in Mexico City, TMZ reported that the singer has banned all personal questions during the Atlas press tour, especially those regarding Ben Affleck and the divorce rumors.

“Netflix alerted all the media outlets covering the Hollywood and Mexico City premieres for Atlas that no Ben Affleck, and no personal queries were allowed,” sources told the outlet.

This explains the tense moment between the “On The Floor” singer and the bold reporter who asked her to clarify if she and Ben were headed toward divorce.

Surprisingly, Jennifer Lopez didn’t deny the rumors, but she also didn’t offer any informative answer, instead limiting her response to telling the inquiring reporter “You know better than that.”

At the time, the exchange was mildly confusing, but now things are becoming clearer. Apparently, the “no questions about Ben Affleck” rule already existed at the time the reporter asked the singer about the divorce rumors, so she was directly warning the press not to break her rules.

Simu Liu Defended Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez had her co-star’s help when it came to enforcing her unusual rule during the press tour. Simu Liu, who participated in group interviews with the singer and Sterling K. Brown, stood up for J-Lo whenever he had the feeling that someone would cross a line with a comment or a question.

“Don’t come in here with that energy, please,” the Canadian actor said when the reporter asked the personal question about Ben Affleck.

Simu Liu adores Jennifer Lopez and looks up to her very much. He really enjoyed working with her and wanted the world to know, so he jumped to her defense one more time during the press conference following the tense moment.

“If I could just end on one thing,” Simu Liu started, “Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I’m here and the reason why Sterling was in this beautiful movie was because Jen cares. Jen cares about things like representation and diversity — and she’s a boss!”

Whether or not the rumors about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage being in trouble are true, the fact remains that the singer has no interest in talking about it, so the uncertainty will continue until either of them is ready to say something about it.
