During her press tour for «The Boy Next Door,» Jennifer Lopez sat down with now-disgraced talk show maven Ellen Degeneres to discuss the film; Degeneres, somewhat known for asking very personal questions, asked if there was anything «going on» between her and Ryan Guzman. While Lopez denied it, Degeneres also asked if Guzman had a girlfriend during filming. «I think he might? I’m not sure. I know he did…. I’m not in his business like that,» Lopez said at the time while also refusing to rule out that the two could eventually experience a romantic spark.
Meanwhile, Melanie Iglesias said, during her appearance on «No Chaser,» that she’s actually met Lopez before — and that their meeting was entirely weird. «What do you mean you don’t know if he had a girlfriend? We met,» Iglesias claimed. «You squeezed the s**t out of my hand. I’m still black and blue.»
Regarding their brief meeting, Iglesias alleged that the two met at an awards show and Lopez squeezed her hand very tightly to the point where it caused actual pain. «She met me, and she looked me up and down, and she gave me the hardest, firmest handshake in the world,» Iglesias recalled. «I was like, ‘Ow! I’ll have my hand back, Jesus.'»
