Jennifer Lopez revealed you can always count on your family to be there for you as rumors of her split from husband Ben Affleck continue to swirl.

Lopez attended the red carpet premiere of her new film, “Atlas,” on Tuesday without Affleck by her side.

“One thing you can always trust in [is] family,” the actress told Entertainment Tonight while discussing the themes of the upcoming sci-fi movie, which follows a woman who must learn to trust AI in order to save the world.

Lopez didn’t specify if “family” included Affleck, but she shares two children, twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex Marc Anthony, and is close with her mother and sisters, Leslie and Lynda.

A source exclusively told Page Six this week that Affleck, who wed Lopez in 2022, has “come to his senses” about his marriage and knows that they will divorce.

“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” the insider 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.”

The pair first sparked split rumors when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala solo earlier this month.

Eagle-eyed fans then realized the “Gigli” co-stars had not been photographed together in more than a month.

Affleck has also been spotted looking at properties in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The “Jenny from the Block” singer briefly mentioned Affleck in an anecdote she told on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday, commenting on the engagement ring the “Argo” star had gotten her “years ago.”

The high-profile couple were engaged in 2004 before calling it off, only to reunite years later.

They wed in two ceremonies – one in Las Vegas and one on Affleck’s Georgia estate, blending her two kids and Affleck’s three children with Jennifer Garner.

Their love story was recounted in Lopez’s documentary, “Greatest Love Story Never Told,” which premiered in February.

In it, the Oscar winner shared that he had one request when they rekindled their romance.

“Getting back together, I said, ‘Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media,’” Affleck said in the film.

“Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’”

Neither of them has commented publicly on the red-hot rumors but Lopez recently “liked” a cryptic Instagram post describing qualities in a partner that could lead to an unHealthy relationship.

The post explained, “You cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody” who “lacks integrity and emotional safety.”
