Has Jennifer Lopez split with Ben Affleck? Inside her troubled comeback

Now, Lopez is laying low as reports continue to point to the end of her and Affleck’s marriage for a second time. Ironically, it used to be Affleck who would defend her in periods like this. In 2021, he referenced her bad press in the 2000’s, telling The Hollywood Reporter: “People were so fucking mean about her; sexist, racist, ugly vicious shit was written about her in ways that if you wrote it now, you would literally be fired for saying some of the things you said.”
