Jennifer Lopez briefly mentioned her husband, Ben Affleck, during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” as speculation about their marriage remains rife.
On Monday, the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” hitmaker shared an anecdote about the time she met Barbra Streisand.
During the story, the 54-year-old told Kimmel that the “Woman in Love” singer commented on the engagement ring Affleck had given her “years ago.”

“‘So that’s a big diamond,’” Streisand told Lopez two decades ago. “And I’m like, ‘Yes, it is.’”
Lopez and Affleck, 51, began dating in 2002 and got engaged later that year. However, the pair parted in 2004 after postponing their wedding the year before.
Elsewhere, Kimmel asked whether Lopez will be bringing her twins, Max and Emme, 16, on her upcoming “This Is Me … Now” tour.

The “Jenny from the Block” singer admitted that it’s “awkward” for her kids to watch her perform because they see her at home without the “sexy” things she does onstage.
“You don’t do sexy things at home?” Kimmel asked, to which she responded, “I do do sexy things at home sometimes but they don’t know about that.”
Hours later, J.Lo walked the red carpet for the premiere of her new movie, “Atlas,” alone.

The mom of two was not joined by the “Argo” actor for the glitzy Los Angeles event; however, she was wearing a band on her left ring finger.
Just hours before the “Atlas” premiere, a source told Page Six exclusively that Affleck has “come to his senses” about the pair’s marriage.
Affleck’s apparent absence from the premiere came exactly two weeks after the pair first sparked split rumors when Lopez showed up to the 2024 Met Gala without him — despite serving as one of the event’s co-chairs.

A week later, TMZ reported that the pair were living separately.
The Oscar winner reportedly started staying at a home in the Brentwood neighborhood of LA — less than 30 minutes from his and Lopez’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion — nearly two weeks ago.
Page Six later learned that Affleck has been quietly house-hunting around the LA area.
