'The View's Joy Behar Issues Stern Warning for Jennifer Lopez Amid Ben Affleck Divorce Rumors
Joy Behar, Jennifer Lopez
Amid rampant rumors that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading for divorce, The View's Joy Behar issued a stern warning to the celebrity couple.
During the Friday, May 17 episode of the talk show, Behar, 81, and her fellow co-hosts discussed the breakup reports. And she didn't hold back with her unsolicited advice.
“When you go around shouting your love from the rooftops, it gets tricky when things don’t go well,” the comedian said. “My advice is keep your mouth shut.”
Behar explained that she doesn't publicly proclaim her love to her husband, Steve Janowitz.
“I don’t say it in private either, but still,” she joked. “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?'”
Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin insisted that Affleck and Lopez "still love each other" despite the rumors of trouble in paradise.
“They are in love," she declared. "I just know it…Stop hating on true love because maybe you don’t have it in your life.”
Ana Navarro likened Lopez to Elizabeth Taylor, who was married eight times to seven men (she and Richard Burton got hitched twice).
“She’s addicted to marriage, to love, to being part of a couple, to romance,” Navarro claimed. “She’s wonderful for the marriage industry.”
For those who have lost count, Lopez has been married four times. She first said "I do" to Ojani Noa in 1997 before tying the knot with Cris Judd in 2001 and Marc Anthony in 2014. The "Love Don't Cost a Thing" singer and Affleck have been married since 2022.
