Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted having yet another heated public argument, which caused concerns about possible problems in paradise.
The pair, who have been together for less than a year, got into an argument at a red light in Beverly Hills.

Visibly irritated Ben, 50, was driving his Rivian electric SUV with the windows down, talking to Jennifer, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
As they hung out the window, a very excited Ben could be seen waving his hands up and down, making it obvious that they were fighting over something.
The two were so absorbed in their chat that it didn’t appear like they were aware of anyone listening in or spying on them from a distance.
But throughout the contentious conversation, Jennifer seemed more subdued and silent while her husband talked and made a lot of crazy gestures.
The visitor, who pulled up next their car and saw the conversation, Ben was “timid,” and it was “quite evident” from his body language that he was “frustrated or annoyed.”
“There were a lot of hand gestures, Ben was waving his hands up and down and it looked heated,” she said.
“J.Lo looked a little bit sad. They were so deep in conversation that they didn’t even look to the side once. They only looked at each other and the traffic light.”
“It clearly looks heated on his end, a discussion or argument. There were no other cars or people on the street,” the source added.
The images were taken just one day after a video of Affleck, who appeared irritated, slamming his car’s passenger door after Jennifer got inside went popular on social media.
Because of their recent acrimonious public discussions, social media investigators have concluded that he must be “miserable” in their marriage.
Ben was seen carrying an iced coffee on Monday morning as he walked in front of Jennifer to their Mercedes.
The performer lets his spouse in by opening the door and sliding into the passenger side.
Ben swings his arm theatrically to shut the door securely and then, looking irritated, walks up to the driver’s seat.
Supporters commented on the popular video on Twitter, stating that he appeared “stressed” or “miserable.”
Another person on Twitter wrote: “Is this the new Dunking Donuts commercial?’ with someone else writing: ‘He always looks like he’s fed up and annoyed.”
“You can ‘have it all’ and still be miserable,” said someone in a tweet.
One person simply wrote, “Dude is goin through it.”
Someone else tweeted: “He purposefully looks away from her while she’s getting in the car. They definitely fighting, lol.”
But just before the door slammed, the couple had seemed happy, holding hands and grinning on their coffee run.
Jennifer smiled and said hello as she delivered a tiny hot beverage, but Ben was beaming from ear to ear as he carried his enormous iced coffee.
However, the two had also drawn attention when they were spotted at Lopez’s most recent movie premiere in Los Angeles the day before.
The singer appeared uncomfortable as she posed on the red carpet, frowning and making furious gestures at her husband. However, a lipreader later explained that there was no argument at all.
They were photographed having their heated debate, but they quickly went back to being in the spotlight, grinning broadly and sharing kisses fit for a movie theater.
As per the lipreader’s confirmation, Ben was asked by J.Lo if her low-cut top was showing too much, which prompted him to say it was alright.
The actor later requested his wife to get a bit closer once they had finally struck the perfect pose. He then leaned into her ear and comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry, babe.”
Lopez seemed to urge, “Come close to me,” in response.
Following the photo session, Affleck turned to face Jennifer, saying, “That’s us, done.” He then planted a kiss on her lips and inquired as to her well-being.
“Yes,” she answered, and Jennifer continued by telling Ben that they had to “move over there.”
Though they have since laughed it off, the couple’s apparent heated argument at the 2023 Grammy Awards in February first caused tongues to wag.
Ben subsequently provided clarification, saying that he was making jokes with Jennifer when he became aware that they were being filmed.
“As soon as they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor,” he said he told Jennifer, via his interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“She goes, ‘You better f*g not leave. That’s a husband and wife thing. I mean some of it is.’ I’m like, ‘All right, who is this act?”
After reigniting their romance in 2021, Ben and Jennifer got married in August of 2022.
They had previously gotten engaged in 2002 and split up two years later.

According to reports, Jennifer Lopez is focussing on herself and avoiding romantic relationships as she moves forward and reinvents herself.
At last, Jennifer Lopez is prepared to close the Ben Affleck chapter and start a new one. With springtime blossoms providing a picturesque backdrop, the singer-actress went through “the biggest heartbreak” of her life once more. Twenty years ago, when the Gigli co-stars called off their wedding in 2003 and eventually separated up the following year, JLo admitted that she felt like she “was going to die.” This was in 2022, the year Bennifer got married and gave their love a second chance. Bennifer 2.0 met a similarly tragic end in 2024.
Although the heartbreak of this year “really did a number on her,” JLo is eager to move on to bigger and greater things. After splitting from Affleck, whom she had previously referred to as the love of her life, Lopez has reportedly entered an introspective phase, a source informed Life & Style, as reported in an article published on October 2. “An all new JLo” is in the works as “she wants to start a new chapter” following four divorces.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck not on the same page about their rekindled relationship?
“Numerous reports quoting sources on both ends of the relationship have started anti-other campaigns. Nonetheless, JLo’s admiration for the Air actor-director has been reinforced by their most recent discussion. She gave it her all. She believed Ben was, too,” the source asserted.
Notably, Lopez’s unlucky career crises coincided with her disintegrating marriage. All three of the projects she published this year—the documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, the record of the same name, and the film This is Me… Now—were labeled and promoted as her passion projects, but all fell flat with the intended audience. Actually, the JLo documentary only made its maximum profit after the ill-timed rumors of their split surfaced.
May saw even worse days when Jenny from The Block’s sci-fi Netflix film Atlas failed to improve her career situation. Despite Lopez’s denials that she needed time off to “be with her children, family, and close friends,” rumors said that low ticket sales were the last straw, forcing her to ultimately postpone her summer concert tour as well.
