As split speculation seems to be at an all-time high, Lopez, 54, only slightly acknowledged her spouse, 51, while telling a story about meeting Barbra Streisand for the first time two decades ago.

Recalling her initial interaction with the Funny Girl star, 82, Lopez said Streisand had commented on the engagement ring Affleck had given her "years ago" — before the couple called it quits in 2004 ahead of their first planned nuptials.

While the Marry Me actress previously opened up about wanting her teenage children to come visit her during her months-long string of performances, Lopez admitted it is a bit "awkward" for her kids to watch her shows due to the "Love Don't Cost a Thing" singer's "s---" choreography onstage.

"You don’t do s--- things at home?" Kimmel jokingly questioned, to which Lopez replied, "I do do s--- things at home sometimes but they don’t know about that."
