Jennifer Lopez Reportedly ‘Over’ the Internet Joking About Ben Affleck's Misery at the Grammys
At the 2023 Grammys, attention landed once more upon ben Affleck and his wonderfully expressive face. The actor started trending when fans noticed his expression, which was less than overjoyed. Affleck was apparently tired that night, but still showed up to support his wife Jennifer Lopez at the major industry event. While the public might still find he whole thing funny, Lopez is “over it.”
“She knows how much Ben hates awards shows and was over it the very next day,” a source told Page Six.
Everything is fine at home, but the source joked, “Might we suggest for the next awards show she bring her stylist or sister with her? Less headaches.”
The moment went extra viral when a seat filler at the Grammys spilled on TikTok under the handle @almostannna, claiming the couple discovered that Affleck was trending mid-ceremony.
“J.Lo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, ‘Oh my God, honey, look at this meme circulating about you!’” she shared. “And he was like, ‘Oh God, this again.’ Like, he knew during the performance that he was a meme.”
She added, “Like, he knew, and he also chose just not to change his expression! I love how unbothered that is.”
But even in the moment, the TikToker said the couple were very affectionate, even if one of them wanted to be anywhere else on earth.
“They were super lovey-dovey, like their hands were always intertwined,” she said.
For her part, Lopez post about the night with several video clips of herself and Affleck on Instagram, either making a sly joke about the situation or trying to beat back rumors that they were having an awful time in the caption.
“Always the best time with my love, my husband,” she wrote. In one clip, she they lean in to give each other a kiss.
