Jennifer Lopez made headlines recently when she briefly talked about her ex-fiance Ben Affleck on the talk show ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ amidst rumors of tension in her marriage. The ‘Atlas’ actress shared a story of meeting Barbra Streisand for the first time and mentioned Affleck when Streisand made a reference to the engagement ring he had given her years ago.
Lopez and Affleck were previously engaged in 2004, and the singer-actress recalled Streisand’s remark about the ring being a “big diamond.” She agreed with the statement and joked about it with Kimmel on the show.
During the interview, Kimmel also asked Lopez about her upcoming tour and whether her kids would be joining her. Lopez, who shares twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony, mentioned that her teenagers find it awkward to see her perform on stage in a glamorous way, as they are used to seeing her at home without the glam.
The interview comes after several reports suggested that Lopez and Affleck were facing marital problems. However, the couple was seen together in public on May 16 for the first time since March 30, and they were spotted wearing their wedding rings on May 19.
Lopez and Affleck do not have children together, but Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Despite the rumors, it seems like Lopez and Affleck are trying to work through any issues they may be facing in their relationship.
