Jennifer Lopez Shows 'Sad Truth' About Ben Affleck Split After Losing Her Cool During Press Conference, Says Expert

Jennifer Lopez's body language during a press conference reportedly revealed the "sad truth" about her and Ben Affleck's relationship amid the buzz of split and divorce.

On Wednesday, May 22, Lopez jetted to Mexico City to promote her new Netflix film Atlas. During the press conference, a reporter interrupted to ask Lopez a personal question.

"Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumors?" said the identified reporter. "What is the truth? Para le press le Mexicana [for the Mexican press], what is the truth of the situation?"

Lopez's costar, Simu Liu, told the reporter they were "not doing that" before thanking everyone. On the other hand, the "On the Floor" singer leaned in and told the reporter, "You know better than that."

Following the appearance, body language expert Judi James told The Mirror Online how "awkward" the "Let's Get Loud" hitmaker was when she heard the reporter.

The expert noted how Lopez kept her mic as she seemingly wanted to speak. However, she gave the reporter an explosive laugh instead.

"Tellingly, her ring hand lifts from her knee as though forming a silent signal of solidity but then she seems to stuff the hand between her knees instead, looking at her host while acting bouncy and smiling," James explained.

She went on to explain, "Jen cocks her head as she looks across in a gesture of likeability. She then seems to try to take control, leaning onto her knees with a serious facial expression. 'You know better than that' is her line here, while the ring hand fiddles. Her body language announces 'that's it' as she then wipes her ring hand on her leg and leans back and looks away."

According to the body language expert, the way Lopez held her mic showed anxiety and awkwardness. When Liu "saved" her, she patted him to express her gratitude.

The recent development came after a source confirmed to People that Lopez and Affleck's marriage "is not in the best place at the moment." They also live separately in Los Angeles and have only made a few outings since the buzz surfaced.

Affleck and Lopez have yet to comment on the buzz directly.
