Speculation ran high as some questioned her choice of accessories. “gloves? She wants to hide her ring off [sic]?” one curious netizen asked, referring to Lopez’s wedding ring and her marriage to actor Ben Affleck.

Lopez’s appearance at the fashion show in Paris came just days after a relaxing vacation with friends in Positano, Italy, on June 21. She stunned in a plunging white one-piece swimsuit and matching open-toe heels, her long hair styled in a voluminous ponytail.
She accessorized with oversized sunglasses, gold jewelry, and a basket bag. During her trip, she basked in the sun, snapped selfies, and laughed with her companions.
Earlier that week, on June 18, photographers captured Lopez on a boat, showing off her toned abs in a cream-colored bandeau top and multicolored shorts. She completed the look with gold sandals and her signature Dior bag.
While Lopez enjoyed her Italian getaway, her husband, actor Ben Affleck, remained in Los Angeles, busy filming his new movie, “The Accountant 2.” Lopez and Affleck’s separate engagements followed rumors of their divorce that surfaced in May.

During a press tour in Mexico City for her new Netflix action movie, “Atlas” on May 22, Lopez dismissed a reporter’s question with the help of her co-star, Simu Liu. When a reporter asked her about her rumored divorce from Affleck, Liu promptly intervened.

Shutting down the query, Liu politely said, “Okay, we’re not doing that. Thank you so much, guys. We really appreciate it… thank you, thank you.” Meanwhile, Lopez chuckled and smiled in response before addressing the matter.

Glancing at Liu, Lopez leaned forward, telling the reporter, “You know better than that.” Then Liu encouraged the press to maintain a positive atmosphere, stating, “Come on, don’t come in here with that energy.”

Lopez’s brief remark at the press tour followed reports of tension in her marriage with Affleck, with both reportedly living separately. Amid breakup speculations, the couple reunited on May 16 at their children’s event. On May 19, Affleck was spotted driving solo in Los Angeles, wearing a plaid shirt and his wedding ring.
The duo’s recent appearances have done little to quell the rumors, as netizens reacted with mixed opinions to Lopez’s handling of the reporter’s question. Some interpreted her reaction as a confirmation of the divorce rumors.
One user commented, “How can you say we are divorcing without saying we are divorcing.” Another expressed concern, saying, “Why aren’t you denying it my heart breaks for u if this is true.” One noted Lopez’s facial expression and stated, “If there was no basis for this, she would’ve said not true. it’s obviously accurate.”

Others defended Lopez, emphasizing her right to privacy. “She has the right not to answer personal questions. I wouldn’t either,” one supporter commented. Another remarked on Lopez’s feelings about the reporter’s question, saying, “She looks so hurt.”

This is not the first time Jennifer Lopez’s serious demeanor has been noticed in front of the camera. At the Met Gala on May 6, netizens labeled her “rude” for her seemingly dismissive behavior toward another guest.

A video shared by the guest, Anika Reed, depicted Lopez giving her the cold shoulder, and the public was not here for it. The clip showed the Hollywood star walking up the entrance steps with the help of her team. Reed politely asked Lopez, “Who are you wearing tonight?” as the “I’m Real” singer passed by her on the red carpet.

Lopez, who appeared unbothered and uninterested, briefly acknowledged Reed’s question, ever so slightly turned her head to look at her, and curtly responded with, “Schiaparelli.” She then continued in the direction she was going and greeted someone else.

“#metgala co-chair @jlo briefly told me about her look for the night: @schiaparelli ✨,” captioned Reed alongside the video of her and Lopez’s exchange. Many social media users were unimpressed by how Lopez treated Reed and took to online platforms to express their disapproval.
“So RUDE [sic],” criticized an Instagrammer, while another slammed, “she is always mean. just unclassy [sic]. ” Echoing the sentiment, another social media user simply commented, “AWFULNESS [sic].”

Lopez’s behavior toward Reed contrasts sharply with a previous statement about her character by her “Hustlers” co-star Constance Wu. In a 2021 interview, Wu divulged that Lopez’s mother, kids, and sister often visited her on set, and added, “They’re all really kind and down-to-earth.”

However, in 2019, two years before Wu’s assertion, Lopez addressed public opinion about her “diva” attitude in an interview. She admitted that she doesn’t always “come off as warm,” echoing a remark once said by her manager, Benny Medina.

“I think there’s some truth to that. I’m incredibly impatient. I want everything now. It’s hard for me to tolerate a slow pace. I get annoyed with it. I don’t like the word ‘no.’ Like really bad. Really bad,” disclosed Lopez.
She continued, “If you try to tell me no, I will get into a bad argument with you about why it can happen, and how it can happen, and why you can’t do it.”
