Jennifer Lopez sought help from her husband, Ben Affleck, for the “Second Act” of her career.
Sterling K. Brown — who stars opposite Lopez in their new Netflix film, “Atlas” — revealed the Oscar-winning director would read lines with her so she could better capture the emotion she needed to elicit.
“Every once in a while, Ben would read the lines for [my character] Smith,” the “This Is Us” star told Entertainment Weekly.
“And I think the newlyweds, still very much in love, I think she just wanted to hear his voice. And so sometimes, the reactions that you got from her were because she was listening to her husband’s voice.”
Bennifer 2.0 have been assisting each other in their projects since getting back together more than three years ago. The “Jenny From the Block” singer, 54, helped Affleck fine-tune the ’90s-era costumes on his hit movie “Air” while the “Good Will Hunting” star appeared in her sci-fi inspired “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story,” which accompanied her most recent album.
“We collaborate very well together,” she told “Entertainment Tonight” in December 2023. “So we were able to kind of sit down and really dig into it, in a way that I don’t think any other writer could’ve done with me.”
Unfortunately, sources have told Page Six that the two may no longer be interested in collaborating professionally or personally, and Affleck has skipped all of Lopez’s “Atlas” premieres.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” an insider shared amid rumors the pair are headed for Splitsville.
“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.”
We’ve also heard that Affleck, 51, has been house-hunting around Los Angeles while living separately from Lopez.
While the “Armageddon” actor hasn’t commented publicly on the state of his marriage, the “Marry Me” actress shot down a reporter this week who dared to ask about it.
“You know better than that,” she responded with a brief smile.
