During the 2023 Grammy Award Show, Ben Affleck’s looked unimpressed with the theatrics of the award show, and became the subject of memes and jokes, causing many to speculate the reason for his aloof appearance.

Twitter users joked that he looked like a spouse “forced to attend his wife’s work party” and that he looked desperate to go home.

Other clips reveal what appears to be a short yet tense conversation between Affleck and his wife Jennifer Lopez, with social media users theorizing what was said and if the short conversation reveals tension in the newlyweds’ relationship.

But in a recent Instagram post, Lopez says that she had a great time at the award show with her husband. The singer shared a montage of her getting ready for the big day, showing off her dress, taking pictures with Affleck, and sharing a kiss with him with the caption “Always the best time with my love, my husband 🤍.”

Both Affleck and Lopez aren’t strangers to the scrutiny of media attention. The couple has known each other since meeting on the set of ‘Gigli’ in 2001, quickly becoming an item and getting engaged a year later. But it was the stress of the limelight and harassment by the paparazzi that caused the couple to call it quits by 2004.

Since then, the pair have married other people, with Affleck’s longtime marriage to Jennifer Garner, and Lopez’s marriage to Marc Anthony.

Throughout the years, the pair continued to refer to each other, calling one another their best friend and making frequent references to the excessive media attention that drove them apart.

After Lopez split from then-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez in 2021, Affleck and Lopez were soon spotted together again, igniting rumors of them getting back together after nearly 20 years apart.

On Lopez’s 51st birthday, she took to Instagram to officially confirm that she and Affleck were back together.

In 2022, the pair married twice, once in an intimate wedding in July, and a grander wedding at their home in Georgia in August.
