Jennifer Lopez doesn’t want you hitting on her man.

This weekend, after dinner at The Ivy in Los Angeles, Ben Affleck and his wife walked to the car. A clip shows him opening and closing the door for J Lo, then walking around the vehicle to get in himself. That’s when some fans drove by in their car and catcalled him, yelling “Wooo!”

The singer noticed the women, and seemingly yelled, “Back up, bitch!” at them, before everyone laughed, including herself.

Last week, Lopez gushed about the actor, telling Vogue that he makes her feel “more beautiful than ever”—and that she’s “finally at the point” of loving “every part of [her]self unapologetically."

“Every part of me, my body, my voice, my choices, even my mistakes,” Lopez said. “All of it made me who I am and got me to where I am today.”

The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary in August, after rekindling their romance in 2021. They were first romantically linked in 2002, and their high-profile relationship continued to make headlines until they parted ways in 2004.

That same year, Lopez married her third husband Marc Anthony, with whom she welcomed now-15-year-old twins Emme and Max; they later divorced in 2014. Affleck went on to marry Jennifer Garner in 2005, and they had three kids together, 17-year-old Violet, 13-year-old Seraphina Rose, and 11-year-old Samuel. Affleck and Garner divorced in 2018.

In a conversation with Zane Lowe, celebrating the 20th anniversary of This Is Me... Then—an album inspired by her relationship with Affleck and their 2003 engagement—she said losing Affleck was the “biggest heartbreak of my life.”

“I honestly felt like I was going to die,” she added. “It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It has the most would-never-happen-in-Hollywood ending."
