Jennifer Lopez ‘Desperate’ to Save Marriage With Ben Affleck: ‘She Wants to Save Face’ as It’s Revealed She Begged for a Second Chance … But He Said No
Jennifer Lopez is said to be "desperate" to save her marriage to Ben Affleck to avoid the public humiliation of a fourth failed marriage, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Less than two years into their marriage, J Lo and Ben are at the center of divorce rumors claiming the $550 million split is near.
It was an incredibly awkward moment when a reporter at a press conference for J Lo's new movie, Atlas, asked her in Spanish if the "rumors" about her split from Ben were "real," she responded first by laughing.
Then, as her co-star Simu Liu tried to shut down the line of questioning, Jennifer leaned forward, looked the reporter in the eye and calmly but firmly said, "You know better than that."
While J Lo attempted to play it cool, recent headlines have alleged her marriage is barreling toward a divorce. Sources claim the situation has been "humiliating" for Jennifer and Ben, who's been spotted without his wedding ring and arriving separately to events — if they show up together at all.
The Jenny From the Block hitmaker apparently made a last-ditch effort to make the marriage work.
