Jennifer Lopez reportedly had issued a ban on questions about her marriage in the Atlas movie premieres.

According to an In Touch Weekly source, Jennifer Lopez and Netflix have agreed that questions about the singer's marriage will be "off-limits."

"Jennifer doesn't want any more embarrassing questions asked about the status of her marriage," the source said.

The source also added that Lopez's co-stars Sterling K. Brown and Simu Liu are "backing her up during their film's press tour."

"You can feel the energy in the room, though. Everyone is looking to see if she's wearing her wedding ring or cracks in her demeanor," the source added.

Furthermore, the inside also noted that it has become a "bit annoying that people are more interested in Jennifer's marriage" than Atlas. Still, they maintained that the buzz around it is "completely understandable.

"She's promoted and gushed about her and Ben's romance so much that her fans feel obligated. You can't blame them. They truly want to know what's going on," the source went on to say.

This came after the film's press junket in Mexico City was marred with controversy. Variety reported that Lopez and her co-star, Simu Liu, shut down a reporter who asked about the truth about her divorce rumors with Affleck.

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

"OK, we're not doing that," Liu told the reporter. "Thank you so much. We really appreciate it ... come on, don't come in here with that energy.

Lopez then issued a five-word response to the reporter: "You know better than that."

In Touch Weekly first reported that the celebrity power couple is headed for divorce amid mounting marital issues.

A People magazine source revealed that Affleck and Lopez's marriage is "not in the best place" at the moment. The insider concluded, "I don't know if they will split, or if this is something they will work through."
