A viral video of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the Los Angeles premiere of the latter's film, The Mother, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, has left fans speculating on whether or not the newlyweds were fighting. The rumors started after a TikTok video, that was filmed on Tuesday, started circulating that showed Affleck looking frustrated as he slammed a car door.
The clip shows the couple walking toward their car after a quick coffee run. A seemingly irritated and miserable-looking Argo director opens the door for his partner and later slams the door.
Shots from the premiere of The Mother show the couple having a terse exchange. However, in the article shared by the Daily Mail, a lip reader revealed that Ben Affleck and the "On The Floor" singer "were merely debating poses and positioning for the red carpet photographers."
This was not the first time this year that fans speculated that there was "trouble in paradise" for the newlyweds. At the 2023 Grammys held in February, although they appeared happy, there was one exchange when host Trevor Noah was doing a bit when the couple was seen having an argument.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ben Affleck clarified that he had a good time at the Grammys. He added that everything was great between them and the exchange was "a husband-and-wife thing."
