Jennifer Lopez Addresses Ben Affleck Amid Marital Speculation
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on May 20, Jennifer Lopez addressed recent speculation surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck. Amidst rumors of tension, Lopez shared a story about her encounter with Barbra Streisand.
Lopez revealed that Streisand had commented on the engagement ring Affleck gifted her when they were previously engaged in 2004. Lopez reminisced about Streisand's remark, stating that she nervously agreed when the legendary singer praised the size of the diamond.
The actress's revelation sparked further intrigue due to recent reports alleging a rough patch in the couple's marriage. Since their last public sighting together in March, Lopez and Affleck have been spotted wearing their wedding rings. However, they have also spent extended periods apart, with Lopez filming movies and attending events without Affleck, who was busy with filming commitments on the West Coast. Notably, Affleck attended a recent Netflix event without his wife.
Lopez's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! comes amid preparations for her upcoming tour, titled This Is Me... Now. When asked if her teenage twins would accompany her on tour, Lopez expressed that they found her energetic performances uncomfortable, as they were accustomed to seeing her as a mother rather than a stage persona. In a playful response to Kimmel's question about her behavior at home, Lopez quipped, I do sexy things at home sometimes, but they don't know about that.
Lopez's latest tour promotes her recently released album, This Is Me... Now, which serves as a sequel to her 2002 album, This Is Me... Then. The singer shared a personal connection to the album, which she stated was inspired by her journey of self-discovery and finding happiness in love.
