Jennifer Lopez attends ‘Atlas’ premiere without Ben Affleck, speculation intensifies

Jennifer Lopez graced the red carpet alone at the premiere of her new sci-fi film "Atlas" this Tuesday, as rumors continue to circulate about her marriage to Ben Affleck. 

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lopez stressed the importance of family, a theme that resonates deeply with the plot of her upcoming movie, where her character must trust artificial intelligence to save the world. 

“One thing you can always trust in [is] family,” Lopez noted, although she did not specify if this included Affleck.

Lopez, who has twins Max and Emme with ex Marc Anthony, and maintains close ties with her mother and sisters, Leslie and Lynda, finds strength in her family connections. 

This discussion comes as a source told Page Six that Affleck has had a stark realization about the feasibility of their marriage. “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work,” the insider revealed.

Speculations about their relationship were heightened when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala without Affleck. Observations that the couple had not been photographed together for over a month added to the speculation.

 Meanwhile, Affleck has been seen looking at properties in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

On a recent episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Lopez reminisced about an engagement ring Affleck had given her years ago. Despite the flurry of rumors, neither party has made any public statements about their marital status. 

However, Lopez's interaction with a cryptic Instagram post discussing the challenges of building a healthy relationship has only added to the public discourse regarding their relationship dynamics.
