Is Ben Affleck growing weary of life with Jennifer Lopez? Speculation surges as a video captures the actor appearing extremely annoyed and fatigued while walking with the singer.
When news broke that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were rekindling their romance, the world took notice. Just a few months prior, Lopez had called off her engagement with athlete Álex Rodríguez, and Affleck had been grappling with his alcoholism issues. Doubts lingered about this renewed relationship, reminiscent of the tumultuous and highly publicized affair they had in the early 2000s. Their past, marked by constant media scrutiny, raised questions about the love and respect they purportedly had for each other.
Nearly two decades have passed since their initial breakup, and both are now mature adults equipped with more life experience. Yet, public appearances by the Hollywood power couple suggest that not everything is harmonious in the Affleck-Lopez household.
Ben is often seen adopting a submissive stance in the presence of Jennifer Lopez. Whether she is exiting a car to attend an event or returning to it, Lopez exudes strength, power, empowerment, and defiance against the onslaught of paparazzi flashes. Affleck consistently stands by her side, seemingly waiting for her to take the spotlight, occasionally trailing a few steps behind. His demeanor contrasts sharply with that of the singer, as he sports a melancholic gaze focused anywhere but on the photographers. His shoulders droop, and he offers forced smiles when interacting with others, quickly reverting to a more somber expression once alone with his wife.
While some argue that Affleck's demeanor may be attributed to the social burdens accompanying international fame, others contend that his discomfort lies with his spouse. A recent viral video further fuels this speculation, capturing Affleck in a rougher state, his eyes reflecting anger and annoyance, and exhibiting a confrontational attitude towards Lopez.
In the video, the couple walks down the street with coffees and a bag of bagels. Strikingly, it's Ben who leads the way, gentlemanly opening the passenger door for Jennifer Lopez. Yet, his gaze doesn't betray the affection of a loving husband but rather the demeanor of a furious partner, seemingly unable to endure the situation any longer. As he closes the car door for Lopez, his forceful action hints at an underlying tension.
The most dramatic moment unfolds when Ben, visibly exhausted, walks to the other side of the vehicle to start the car, as he is the one behind the wheel. Spotting a paparazzo recording him, Affleck responds with a defiant gesture, staring at the intruder with a "what the hell are you doing" expression. It becomes evident that this was far from the actor's best moment, and the company he was in only added to the strain.
