Simu Liu defended Jennifer Lopez when she was asked about her marriage to Ben Affleck during a promotional event in Mexico City on May 22. While promoting their film, Atlas, a reporter asked Lopez if she was divorcing Affleck. In a video shared by Glamour México y Latinoamérica via X, Liu, 35, stepped in to support Lopez.

"We're not going to do that," he told them. "Thanks a lot, guys. We really appreciate it." Lopez paused for a moment before continuing, "You should know better than that."

Then, Liu turned to the person who had asked the question. "Please don't bring that negative energy in here," he said. The interview quickly ended after the uncomfortable moment.

Lopez was also praised by the actor. He mentioned that Jen is a producer on the movie and the reason why he and Sterling K. Brown were involved in the project was because Jen cares about important issues like representation and diversity. He also described her as a boss.

Touched by the kind words, Lopez thanked Liu for his praise.

While Lopez aims to concentrate on her work, her personal life has been the subject of gossip due to alleged problems with Affleck. According to a source, the couple is currently facing challenges in their relationship.

Earlier this month, an insider disclosed that Jen and Ben are facing challenges in their marriage. The issues started a few months ago when Jen began increasing her work responsibilities and preparing for her upcoming tour.

The source mentioned that Lopez is putting a lot of focus on her work for her This Is Me … Live tour next month. They also noted that Jen and Ben often find themselves on different pages most of the time.

Affleck and Lopez have been spotted together recently, sparking speculation about their relationship status. People have noticed that they have been seen both with and without wedding rings, with Affleck going as far as to hide his hand from photographers during a Wednesday outing.

In 2021, Lopez and Affleck reconnected after calling off their engagement back in 2004. They surprised everyone by getting married in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a second ceremony the next month. Since getting back together, Lopez and Affleck have been blending their families. Lopez has 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Earlier this year, Affleck supported Lopez during the release of her movie "This Is Me … Now: A Love Story."

At a press conference in February, Lopez shared that Affleck encouraged her to embrace her talents. She remembered him saying, "You do write, direct, produce, choreograph - you do it all. Start owning a little bit of who you are."

Lopez couldn't stop talking about her and Affleck's lasting love. She shared with Variety, "I've been on this journey, trying to figure things out. But now, with Ben and I finding each other again and being married, I feel like I have something valuable to give. This project is the final piece that will help me close this chapter and move forward to the next phase of my life."
