Simu Liu recently showed his unwavering support for Jennifer Lopez amidst swirling rumors about her relationship with Ben Affleck. The actor, who stars alongside Lopez in the upcoming film "Atlas," defended her during a press event when a reporter boldly questioned her about the speculation surrounding her marriage.
When Lopez responded to the reporter, suggesting that they should "know better than that," Liu also stepped in to defend her. "OK, we're not doing that," the 35-year-old actor asserted. "Thank you so much guys, really appreciate it. C'mon. Don't come in here with that energy, please."
Throughout the press tour for their Netflix movie, Liu continued to shower Lopez with praise, highlighting her dedication to representation and diversity in the industry. He emphasized Lopez's role as a producer in the film and commended her for being a boss, an icon, and an incredible creative.
As "Atlas" prepares to stream on Friday, Lopez has been making headlines due to Affleck's absence at recent premieres in Hollywood and Mexico City. The couple, who tied the knot in July 2022, has been facing divorce rumors while living separately.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Lopez and Affleck have maintained a united front, often seen wearing their wedding rings. However, Lopez recently hinted at relationship struggles by liking an Instagram post about being with someone who is disconnected from themselves.
Lopez, who has been married three times before, and Affleck, who finalized his divorce from Jennifer Garner in 2018, continue to navigate the ups and downs of their relationship in the public eye.
