Jennifer Lopez is currently promoting her new film, Atlas, and has addressed rumours of a split from husband Ben Affleck.
Many people rejoiced with nostalgic glee when J Lo, 54, and Ben, 51, got back together after being apart for many years.
The duo were first in a relationship during the early noughties - with Ben featuring in J Lo's 2002 music video for her hit 'Jenny From The Block'.

They parted ways in 2004, and J Lo went on to marry Marc Anthony, having two children with him.
Ben married 13 Going On 30 actress Jennifer Garner, and they share three children together.
Following the break down of both of their relationships, J Lo and Ben rekindled their flame almost two decades later, getting married in 2022.

Yet, it has appeared there may be trouble in paradise for the Hollywood pair, with rumours of a split circulating.
Despite rumours, J Lo and Ben put on a united front earlier this week when they were pictured together in a car - but some people still aren't all that convinced.
On Tuesday (22 May), J Lo attended the Mexico premiere for Atlas, the sci-fi action thriller dropping on Netflix tomorrow that she's starring in.
Ben was notably absent - following on from his absence at the Met Gala, where J Lo was a co-chairwoman.
During a press conference, a reporter asked her: "Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumours?

“What is the truth? Para le press le Mexicana [for the Mexican press], what is the truth of the situation?”
J Lo's co-star, Simu Liu, leapt to her defence, saying: "Ok, we’re not doing that.
“Thank you so much guys, we really appreciate it. Thank you.”
J Lo herself then leaned forward and chided: "You know better than that.”

Simu then said: "Don’t come in with that energy please."
He added: "If I could just end on one thing.
“Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I am here and why Sterling [K Brown] was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares. And Jen cares about things like representation and diversity, and she’s a boss.”

People on social media are sharing their thoughts on the matter.
One person wrote: "Asking that question while promoting the movie was not cool. She was right to say that. So was Simu for saying what he said."
Another added: "Regardless of anyone’s opinion on her, it’s nobody’s business what goes on in her marital life and she doesn’t owe anyone any kind of explanation about it."
A third chimed: "If truly nothing was wrong she would’ve just said 'we are fine.'"
