Jennifer Lopez wanted to remain professional on her “Atlas” press tour.
The actress, 54, reportedly banned all questions related to her and Ben Affleck’s marriage while promoting her latest Netflix film.
According to TMZ, the streaming giant warned media outlets covering the Los Angeles and Mexico City premieres earlier this week that personal questions were completely off the table.
Lopez, who walked the red carpets without her husband, also only participated in group interviews with her co-stars Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown.

Meanwhile, Affleck, 51, was photographed on the set of “The Accountant 2,” which was likely the reason behind his absence from the events.
The “On the Floor” singer’s request for no personal questions came after it was revealed the couple has been living apart amid rumors of marital issues.
However, Lopez still had to shut down a reporter in Mexico when she was asked to address the divorce speculation during a panel on Wednesday.

“You know better than that,” she said in response.
The night before, the “Air” actor was seen exiting Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif.
Though he was spotted wearing his wedding ring, a source told Page Six Monday that Affleck has “come to his senses” about his marriage to J.Lo and knows divorce is a likely ending for their love story.

“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” the insider said.
The source added, “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
Divorce rumors began swirling earlier this month when the Oscar winner didn’t join his wife at the 2024 Met Gala.

Before last week, the pair hadn’t been photographed together in over a month.
Lopez and Affleck have since been spotted together on several occasions, including a night out to watch his child Seraphina’s school play.
Affleck and Lopez, who called off their initial engagement in 2004, reconciled in 2021 and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.
