00:00 After weeks of rumored relationship struggles, sources close to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
00:05 seem confident they'll end things before the fall.
00:09 Just last month, while on a press tour for her latest film, Netflix's Atlas, Jennifer
00:13 Lopez was asked about the possibility of a divorce from Ben Affleck.
00:18 Instead of answering that question, Lopez's Atlas co-star Simu Liu shut the reporter down
00:23 and asked the audience to not, quote, "come in with that energy, please."
00:27 Lopez then addressed the reporter and stated, "You should know better," before the panel
00:32 returned to more on-topic questions.
00:34 Shortly after, a source spoke with ET on how Lopez has been coping, sharing, "She has
00:39 been experiencing ups and downs while processing everything.
00:43 She has been throwing herself into work, which has always been an outlet for her to stay
00:46 busy and distracted."
00:48 But now, an alleged friend of the Atlas star is sharing that Lopez is not ready to give
00:52 up, telling Cosmopolitan, "She won't give up this relationship.
00:56 She's going out there looking as normal as she can.
00:59 It's sad to see her dimming her shine to try to keep him."
01:02 But another source close to the situation had a much more dismal opinion, also telling
01:07 Cosmo, "We all think that it's over and that it will be official before the end of the summer."
