The View’s Ana Navarro made a brutal dig at Jennifer Lopez during Friday’s show as she weighed in on the rumors that the singer and her husband Ben Affleck may be headed for a split, and accused the hitmaker of being ‘addicted to marriage.’
The star-studded couple, who got married in July 2022, haven’t been pictured together since Easter and on Thursday, Jennifer, 54, fueled divorce rumors when she liked a scathing break-up post about ‘lack of integrity and respect’ on Instagram.
‘I think Jennifer Lopez is like the Puerto Rican Liz Taylor and I think she’s addicted to marriage, to love, to being part of a couple [and] romance, she’s wonderful for the marriage industry,’ Ana, 52, claimed.
‘Remember, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were married and divorced and got remarried,’ she continued, before making a sarcastic comment about JLo and Ben’s first wedding – which was called off at the last minute – in 2003: ‘Look, they’re young enough, they can do this a third time!’

Ana’s cohost Joy Behar chimed in and said: ‘I would like to add to the story, when you go around shouting your love from the rooftops, it gets tricky when things don’t go well.
‘My advice is: keep your mouth shut! I don’t even tell Steve I love him in public. I don’t say it in private either,’ the 81-year-old said, referring to her husband Steve Janowitz.
‘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, “you see”.
‘The story of Elizabeth Taylor was much juicier than this,’ the redhead continued. ‘She dropped one husband and picks up Eddie Fisher married to Debbie Reynolds at the time, it was really interesting. This is not!’
The comedian then referred to her cohost Sunny Hostin as an ‘apologist’ for insisting that Jennifer and Ben are in love.
The 55-year-old went on some what of a rant and told the panel: ‘You know what, this is how I feel: they are in love, I just know it.
You know what I don’t like is that, I know the world is on fire but true love exists, it’s still here. They love each other, stop hating on true love because maybe you don’t have it in your life! That’s how I feel,’ the mother-of-two fumed.
