Jennifer Lopez banned Ben Affleck from asking questions at ‘Atlas’ premieres before scolding reporter



During the Atlas press tour, Jennifer Lopez wanted to remain professional.

The 54-year-old actress reportedly banned any questions related to her and Ben Affleck’s marriage while promoting her latest Netflix film.

According to TMZthe streaming giant warned media covering the premieres in Los Angeles and Mexico earlier this week that in-person questions were completely off the table.

Lopez, who walked red carpets without her husband, also only participated in group interviews with her co-stars Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown.

Meanwhile, Affleck, 51, was photographed on the set of “The Accountant 2,” which may have been the reason for his absence from the events.

The “On the Floor” singer asked not to be asked any personal questions after it was revealed the pair were living apart amid rumors of marital problems.

However, Lopez still had to shut down a reporter in Mexico when she was asked to address divorce speculation during Wednesday’s panel.

“You know that better than that,” she replied.

The previous evening, the “Air” actor was seen leaving the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, California.

Although he was spotted wearing a wedding ring, a source told Page Six Monday that Affleck has “come to his senses” about his marriage to J.Lo and knows that divorce is the likely end to their love story.

“If there was a way to divorce him on the grounds of temporary insanity, he would do it,” the insider said.

The source added: “He feels like the last two years have been just a fever dream, and now he’s come to his senses and realizes there’s just no way this is going to work.”

Divorce rumors began circulating earlier this month when the Oscar winner failed to join his wife at the 2024 Met Gala.

Until last week, the couple had not been photographed together in over a month.

Since then, Lopez and Affleck have been spotted together several times, including on a night out to watch his child Seraphina’s school play.

Affleck and Lopez, who called off their initial engagement in 2004, reconciled in 2021 and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.
