Jennifer Lopez’s relationship with Ben Affleck over the years has been an interesting one. The pair dated from 2002 and were engaged to be married that year. However, they broke up in 2004 and both got married to separate people.
Much like a fairy tale, their paths crossed again in 2021 after they had ended their marriage with their respective partners. They were married in 2022 and have always been a loving couple. However, one reporter recently asked a rather awkward question to Lopez and the actress’s discomfort can be seen as she tried to give a reasonable answer.
Reporter Asks Insulting Question About Marriage To Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez made an appearance at the 81st Golden Globe Awards which was held on January 8, 2024. The actress came to support her husband Ben Affleck as his film Air was nominated for Best Picture- Musical or Comedy. Lopez had a rather awkward interview when she was asked a question about her marriage to Affleck.
On the red carpet, the actress was questioned by Variety about the longevity of her marriage by asking “So how do you know your last wedding is it? Lopez’s discomfort is clearly seen, but she managed to answer by pointing out that she goes with the best of intentions whenever she commits to something. She said,
“Because when they say, ‘You know,’ you know. And other times when you didn’t know. I think you always go in with the best of intentions every single time that you leap into anything. I do, not just in my personal life but in my professional life too.”
The media and paparazzi should steer away from being intrusive to one’s personal life and their struggles. The question was disrespectful and reporters should rather focus more on the work and professional life of artists.
Jennifer Lopez Assures Ben Affleck is Happy and Well

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the actress told everyone not to worry and assured that Affleck is happy and contended in his life. She also stated that she doesn’t quite understand the appeal of the memes that fans are making of her husband. She said,
“Ben is doing alright. You don’t need to worry about Ben, let me just tell you. He is good. He is happy. He is here — he is nominated. I’m chilling, I don’t understand what people are so pressed for.”
