Jennifer Lopez has been asked directly about the Ben Affleck divorce rumors and her response has left fans raising their eyebrows.
In recent weeks, reports have suggested that Lopez and Affleck's relationship may be going through a rough patch - and the rumor mill has been going strong ever since.
Reports have claimed that Affleck is currently staying at a place in Brentwood, but has not been accompanied there by J-Lo.
And as for Lopez, she was spotted entering a dance studio last Thursday (May 16), though eagle-eyed fans did notice she was still wearing her wedding ring.

Suspicions were raised even further after Lopez 'liked' a brutal break-up post on social media.
The post on Instagram went into the principle of how someone needs to look after themselves as well if they want to build a healthy relationship.
It read: "You can't build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves.
"We can't expect someone to see us when they can't even see themselves.
"Getting in a relationship is the easy part. Nurturing and fostering it is a different story.
"After all, love is not a feeling, it's action."
As the speculation continues to mount, Lopez is currently conducing media interviews for her newest flick Atlas.
And the 54-year-old was hit with a rather awkward question during a press conference for her new Netflix film in Mexico City on Wednesday (May 22).
A journalist shocked much of the room when he outright asked Lopez to confirm if the 'Ben Affleck rumors' were 'real.'
Lopez certainly looked tense as she prepared to answers the question as her co-star Simu Liu quickly jumped to her defense.
"You know better than that," Lopez told the reporter, though she did not directly deny the speculation was false.
The audience applauded the actress for how she handled the question while one of the panelists warned journalists about asking similar type of questions.
"C'mon, don't come in here with that," they said.
A video of the awkward interaction was shared to Instagram by ElGordoyLaFlaca, where a lot of people flocked to the comments section to provide their thoughts.
"She looks so hurt when asked that question. They should just leave her alone," one user wrote.
And second added: "Instead of being asking about Ben Affleck ask questions about her work and her next projects that's what people care to know not her private life that's her problem not ours."
UNILAD has reached out to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's reps for comment.
