LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez recently kicked up a storm after being caught having seemingly tense exchanges during multiple public appearances. Earlier this month, the couple, affectionately known as “Bennifer,” was out on a coffee run when the ‘Air’ star was spotted slamming the car door on his wife’s face.
Following the incident, Affleck and Lopez, who are nearing their first wedding anniversary, were seen having a heated argument at the launch of JLo’s latest Netflix project ‘The Mother’ in Los Angeles on May 10. Now, a new video from the premiere is making rounds on the Internet, where Lopez is seen making a peculiar gesture to a DJ right in front of Affleck. The barely 11-second video starts with Bennifer and several other attendees posing for pictures on the red carpet, where Lopez notices that the DJ played one of her classic songs.

'You already know the story'
Without a pause, the ‘Hustler’ actress turned to the DJ with a wink that didn't go unnoticed by the cameras. The ‘Justice League' star, who was standing next to Lopez, noticed the gaze and turned to check what was going on, according to Marca. The video ends before Affleck's response to Lopez's gesture is shown. Garnering immense attention, the video soon sparked a fierce debate on social media. "Will he be her next victim?" one user asked.
“Hahaha hahaha the same thing happened with that Yankees game when she was wife to Marc Anthony and flirting with Alex Rodriguez. You already know the story,” another user said. However, there were also some users who defended JLo, saying, “No flirting, she's like that, warm, and she has blood sugar, well JL you're beautiful!!!” The new video came just a few days after a slew of pictures from the ‘Mother’ launch was circulated on social media. In the pictures, the couple was spotted on the red carpet where Affleck appeared to sternly point towards something and Jennifer also made pointing gestures, according to the Mirror.
'It’s a stressful time'
Following the tense appearance, a source told The Sun that Ben was "growing tired" of JLo's "diva demands." The tipster dished that the 'Batman' star prefers a more laid-back lifestyle and "wants to slow down," but JLo is more business-focused and "all-or-nothing." “Ben wants to slow down a little. He needs that, but it’s not really how Jennifer does things. She’s an all-or-nothing type and has more energy than Ben,” the insider said.
“There’s no off switch and this is just not somebody who is down for Netflix and chill. This will undoubtedly create tension as Jen prepares to make Unstoppable, which Ben’s new company Artists Equity is financing and producing,” the source continued, adding Affleck already has a lot on his plate with the choices he must make about his new company endeavor and profession. “When he goes home at night he wants to zone out or talk to his kids on the phone. Ben has been through hell and back a few times and he’s never had more responsibilities. It’s a stressful time,” the source further noted.
