Why Is ‘The View’ On Hiatus?

As rumors swirl about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck‘s relationship, Ana Navarro took a moment to compare the singer to Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor, who was famously married eight times to seven different men.

On this morning’s episode of The View, the co-hosts weighed in on the divorce rumors surrounding Lopez and Affleck, who have reportedly not been spotted in public together in over 40 days.

“They are in love. I just know it,” Sunny Hostin said. “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.”

Navarro added that she believes Lopez, who has been married four times, is like the “Puerto Rican Liz Taylor.”

“I think she’s addicted to marriage, to love, to being part of a couple, to romance. She’s wonderful for the marriage industry,” she said. “Remember Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were married and divorced and married again. They’re young enough — they can do this a third time.”

However, Behar didn’t think the Bennifer gossip was nearly as compelling as Taylor’s life.

“By the way, the story of Elizabeth Taylor was much juicer than this,” she said. “She then drops one husband and picks up Eddie Fisher, who was married to Debbie Reynolds at the time. I mean, it was really interesting. This is not.”

Despite her disinterest in the Hot Topics segment, Behar did have one piece of advice to offer the couple.

“When you go around shouting your love from the rooftop, it gets tricky when things don’t go well. My advice is keep your mouth shut,” she suggested. “I don’t even tell Steve I love him in public. I don’t say it in private either, but still.”

Meanwhile, Alyssa Farah Griffin acted as the voice of reason, pointing out that Affleck has been busy filming The Accountant 2 on the West Coast, while Lopez recently co-hosted the 2024 Met Gala in New York City.

“I wish them luck!” she concluded.

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
