Jenny from the Block isn’t budging.

The singer dodged a question about her estranged husband, Ben Affleck, at the U.K. premiere of their “Unstoppable” movie Monday.

A red carpet reporter asked the actress how she felt about her ex-partner’s producing in an X video shared Wednesday, noting that he recently called her “spectacular” while speaking to “Entertainment Tonight.”

Lopez, 55, smiled at the compliment before broadening her answer to include “all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes.”

She called the entire group “spectacular and wonderful” without directly commenting on Affleck.

Lopez filed for divorce from her “Jersey Girl” co-star, 52, in August after two years of marriage — and months of split rumors.

While the Oscar winner has remained mum about their breakup, he made headlines for gushing about Lopez in a Tuesday interview.

“Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome], and Bobby Cannavale, all were really passionate about this film,” Affleck said. “Jennifer is spectacular.”

Lopez, who stars in the wrestling drama, addressed her divorce in detail in an Interview magazine cover story in October.

Although the “Hustlers” star did not name Affleck directly, she said that the end of her marriage nearly “took [her] out for good.”

The Grammy nominee compared the experience to being “hit … really hard over the head with a f–king sledgehammer.”
