Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot in July 2022 nearly 20 years after calling off their first engagement as they rekindled their romance.The singer, 54, and the Hollywood actor, 51, have since bought and moved into a very lavish $60million mega mansion, complete with a lavish infinity pool.

The couple spend time at the 46,000 square-foot mansion with Jennifer’s twins Max and Emme, 15, who she shares with Marc Anthony, and Ben’s kids Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, who he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

However, things have seemingly not always been smooth-sailing for Jennifer and Ben as they have been seen looking very tense in a string of strained public outings.

The power couple were most recently seen looking bad-tempered as they were embroiled in a heated discussion during their St Barts getaway.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who tied the knot in July 2022, have been seen in some tense outings. They were most recently seen in a heated discussion during their St Barts getaway

Last week, they appeared to have had a tense day in paradise on Saturday, looking strained as they shopped in the high-end boutiques of St Bart’s capital Gustavia.

They had a heated discussion as they checked out expensive Bulgari jewelery together, and at one point, Ben looked exasperated as his wife tried on a variety of lavish pieces.

He threw his hands in the air as Jennifer sat next to him with a tense expression in the seemingly strained shopping trip.

Just months earlier in September, Jennifer was seen looking very tense as she sat in the passenger seat of a car alongside Ben as they drove around Los Angeles.

While Ben chauffeured her around in his black vehicle, Jennifer appeared to be deep in thought as they had a seemingly serious discussion.

The father-of-three appeared to be doing the majority of talking as an eyewitness told DailyMail.com that the Grammy nominee listened ‘intently’.

Their conversation continued briefly after parking the car and, at one point, she reportedly ‘looked away’ from him ‘as if processing what he was saying’.

Despite the superstar’s agitated demeanor, a source close to the couple told DailyMail.com they are ‘very much in love with each other’.

In another terse exchange, Ben and Jennifer were caught seemingly having another tense interaction as they drove through Beverly Hills back in May

It came after Ben and Jennifer were caught seemingly having another tense interaction as they drove through Beverly Hills back in May.

The couple were driving when they stopped at a red light and engaged in a heated conversation, in photos taken by a European tourist and obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

Ben, who was behind the wheel, looked visibly frustrated while speaking to Jennifer as she sat in the passenger seat of his Rivian electric SUV, with the windows rolled down.

The Batman star was seen looking very animated as he waved his hands up and down in the air during the seemingly heated discussion.

The tourist, who witnessed the exchange after pulling up next to their car, told DailyMail.com that it seemed ‘pretty clear’ by his body language that Ben ‘was frustrated or irritated’ while Jennifer appeared ‘timid’.

‘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 photos came a day after a video of an apparently frustrated Ben slamming the passenger door of his car after Jennifer got into the vehicle went viral on social media.

In another terse public sighting, Ben was seen walking in front of Jennifer to their Mercedes while toting an iced coffee.

He opened his door for his wife, who sat in the passenger seat, and he then shut the door firmly by dramatically swinging his arm, before walking over to the driver’s seat.

Fans took to Twitter to comment on the viral clip, noting that he looked ‘miserable’ or ‘stressed’.

However, moments before the door slamming, the couple had appeared to be in good spirits, smiling and holding hands during their coffee run.

The two had previously raised eyebrows when they were seen attending the premiere of Jennifer’s film The Mother in LA.

In an awkward moment while posing on the red carpet, Jennifer had a frown on her face and was gesticulating at her husband, who looked angry, though a lipreader later clarified that it was far from an argument.

After they were snapped having their apparently tense conversation, they soon reverted to Hollywood mode with beaming grins and stage-worthy kisses.

A lipreader confirmed that Jennifer asked Ben if her low-cut top was ‘showing too much,’ pushing him to respond that it looked fine.

Later, when the couple managed to find their right pose, the Air actor asked his wife to get a little closer, then he leaned into her ear and said, ‘don’t worry, babe’.

To which Jennifer seemingly responded saying, ‘come close to me’.

After the photo shoot, Ben turned to Jennifer and said ‘that’s us, done’, he then gave her a kiss and asked, if she was OK, to which she replied ‘yes’ before telling him they needed to ‘step over there’.

Amid the speculation they were arguing on the red carpet, an insider close to the couple told DailyMail.com denied any tension and said they were in an ‘incredibly good place’.

‘They’re in an incredibly good place, very loving and supportive of each other,’ the insider revealed.

Tongues first started wagging when the pair appeared to have a tense exchange at the 2023 Grammy Awards in February, though they both later brushed it off.

Ben’s forlorn expression saw him become a meme on the night and a video of Jennifer seemingly snapping at him spread across social media.

However, Ben later clarified the moment, revealing that he was joking with Jennifer but then realized the camera was on them.

‘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?”

Ben and Jennifer tied the knot in August 2022 after rekindling their romance in 2021.

They were previously engaged in 2002 before going their separate ways two years later.
