Jennifer Lopez Bans Questions about Marriage and Split Rumors
Jennifer Lopez has reportedly banned journalists from asking questions about her marriage and the swirling split rumors as she promotes her new movie Atlas. Speculation has surrounded her relationship with Ben Affleck, with reports suggesting that they are living separately while he films The Accountant 2 and has been seen without his wedding ring. The 54-year-old singer has attended all of Atlas’ premieres and press appearances alone so far. According to TMZ, Netflix has informed reporters that questions about her marriage and husband are strictly off-limits during the movie’s promotional run. Additionally, Lopez will only participate in group interviews with her co-stars Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown, and will not have solo interviews.
Press Strategy Keeps Personal Questions at Bay, But One Reporter Breaks the Rules
Jennifer Lopez’s strategy of avoiding personal questions seemed to be effective during the Los Angeles and Mexico City premieres of Atlas earlier this week. However, a press conference in Mexico on Wednesday took an unexpected turn. One reporter publicly asked Lopez about the split rumors and questioned if they were “real.” Lopez responded tersely, saying, “You know better than that.” It remains unclear if the reporter was aware of the restrictions on questions about her marriage. Despite the incident, Lopez received applause for her professional response. Simu Liu, her co-star, warned other reporters to avoid that line of questioning, urging them not to bring negative energy into the room.
