The show must go on for Jennifer Lopez.
During an appearance on Monday's episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, the “On the Floor” singer – who is currently promoting her new Netflix movie, “Atlas” – shrugged off recent split rumors and name-dropped her husband Ben Affleck.
Recalling her first meeting with Barbra Streisand, Lopez said: “When I was in Hollywood, 20 or 30 years ago, I met her. I was like, 'Oh my God, I love her. ' She was asking to look at my engagement ring from back in the day that Ben gave me years ago.”

Another source on Lopez's side told Fox News Digital, “Jennifer and Ben were fighting before they got married over stupid little things.”
Throughout their romantic journey over the years, Lopez and Affleck — who initially broke up before their marriage in 2003, but reconnected and married in July 2022 — have faced many relationship issues.
In her 2024 documentary “The Greatest Love Story Ever Told,” Lopez candidly called off her engagement to the Oscar winner more than 20 years ago.
“Ben and I broke up three days before our wedding,” Lopez revealed. “We crumbled under the pressure. I think we all keep thinking, 'I'm OK. I got through these things.' If you’re like me, you just have to get over it, do your best and do your thing.”

Affleck spoke in more detail about learning to compromise.
“Getting back together, I said, 'Look, one of the things I don't want is a social media relationship,'” he said in the documentary. “And then I kind of realized that it wasn't a fair thing to ask. It's kind of like if you were going to marry a ship captain and you said, 'Well, I don't like the water.' We're just two people with different approaches trying to learn to compromise.”
Last week, Lenna Marsak — a relationship coach and therapist – called on viewers to be “kind” after Lopez liked her post about unhealthy relationships.
The post, posted March 19, states: “You cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who…lacks integrity and emotional safety…doesn't respect your time/doesn't think it's important to call back /send an SMS within a respectable time frame. executive… lacks effective communication skills… doesn’t know who he is or what he wants.
“Please be kind to Jennifer Lopez because she's a human being. I don't know if they're getting divorced,” Marsak said in an Instagram Story video. “I hope not, but yeah, please.”
