Jennifer Lopez addressed the "negativity out in the world right now" amidst ongoing divorce rumors surrounding her and husband Ben Affleck.

In a recent On the JLo newsletter sent out to subscribers via email on Wednesday, the singer expressed gratitude to fans for making her new Netflix movie, Atlas, the No. 1 film on the streaming platform.

"Hi everybody, I just found out some great news and it's all because of YOU!! 'ATLAS' is #1 worldwide again this week!!! Thank you all so much!!!" she wrote.

"It may seem like there's a lot of negativity out in the world right now...but don't let the voices of a few drown out that there is soooo much love out there," she added.

Lopez, 54, concluded her heartfelt message by expressing gratitude to her fans once again and assuring them of her immense love for them.

The "Selena" star's newsletter arrived at a pivotal moment as speculation continues to swirl about the status of her marriage to Affleck.

But is this is an indication that the divorce rumors between her and Affleck can also be a ruse? Is it being used to revive her career?

"Approach Jennifer and Ben's rumors with skepticism," advises PR specialist Mayah Riaz, who isn't convinced with the veracity of these sudden marriage troubles making the news on a daily.

"It's no wonder there's speculation about the divorce rumors surrounding her and Ben could have been created to distract from her career downfall. It is not uncommon for celebrities to face speculation and rumors, particularly during challenging times in their careers."

"Divorce rumors or personal life distractions can sometimes serve as a strategy to divert attention from any professional setbacks," the expert points out.

Ryan McCormick, another industry expert, suggests that Jennifer Lopez may be grappling with a private issue she opts to keep confidential.

However, it's also plausible that the issue revolves around low ticket sales. Performing in front of empty seats could "damage her image," prompting the decision to cancel the tour as a strategic move to avert a larger PR crisis, and use the divorce buzz once more to her advantage by claiming she's going to focus on her family.
