Not AGAIN! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck engage in yet another strained exchange at The Mother premiere... after slew of tense public moments during two-year rekindled romance
They have been seen engaging in a series of tense exchanges throughout their two-year rekindled romance.
And Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck once again looked serious as they hit the red carpet at the premiere for her new movie The Mother on Wednesday evening.
The Get Loud songstress, 53, had a frown on her face and was gesticulating at her husband, 50, who she married last year, while he looked angry.
After they were snapped having their tense conversation, they soon reverted to Hollywood mode with beaming grins and stage-worthy kisses.
Wednesday's appearance comes after the couple hit headlines at the Grammys in February when Jennifer was caught on camera demanding Ben pretend to be enjoying himself, in an embarrassing exchange, which he later discussed.
