As rumours continue to circulate that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are headed for divorce, one TV host has weighed in with some advice.

Let’s not get loud.

The View panellist Joy Behar advised Jennifer Lopez against publicly proclaiming her love for Ben Affleck as divorce rumours loom.

“When you go around shouting your love from the rooftops, it gets tricky when things don’t go well,” the View co-host told viewers during Friday’s episode of the US daytime talk show. “My advice is keep your mouth shut.”

The comedian, 81, joked that she doesn’t tell her husband, Steve Janowitz, that she loves him when they’re out and about.

“I don’t say it in private either, but still,” she quipped. “Telling everybody how much you love each other and writing it on Instagram and on Facebook, and then you get a divorce and everybody says, ‘Oh, you see!?’”

Joy Behar’s advice: Zip it.

While Behar didn’t want to “gossip about people” on the show, she noted that “people are buzzing” about the former Gigli co-stars.

Fellow panellist Sunny Hostin, however, chimed in to claim that Lopez, 54, and Affleck, 51, still “love each other.”

She gushed, “They are in love. … I just know it. … Stop hating on true love because maybe you don’t have it in your life.”

View panellist Ana Navarro compared Lopez to Elizabeth Taylor, who was married eight times.

“She’s addicted to marriage, to love, to being part of a couple, to romance,” the political strategist, 52, claimed. “She’s wonderful for the marriage industry.”

Lopez has been married four times — first to Ojani Noa in 1997, then Cris Judd in 2001, Marc Anthony in 2014 and Affleck in 2022.

The pair were first engaged from 2002 to 2004, rekindling their romance in 2021 after nearly two decades apart.

They blended their families upon tying the knot in Las Vegas — and again in Georgia — in July and August 2022, respectively.

Affleck, for his part, co-parents Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

The duo are reportedly on “two completely different pages” in their marriage, with a source telling Us Weekly that “they started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”

That same day, the Grammy winner made headlines for “liking” an Instagram post listing qualities found in unhealthy relationships.
