Hints From The 2023 Grammys That Ben & Jen Might Not Make It
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck lit up the 2023 Grammy Awards. J.Lo rocked a gorgeous dark blue Gucci gown that included ruffles, fringe, and rhinestone beading (via People). Meanwhile, Affleck wore a classic black tuxedo and tie. Although the couple didn't walk the red carpet together, the pair smiled for photos, and Lopez even presented Harry Styles with the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. However, fans seemed to notice that Affleck didn't seem to be overly enjoying their time at the event. While those around him appeared to be having fun and dancing to the musical performances, the actor looked sullen and unhappy. There was also a moment when the duo appeared to have a brief but intense conversation caught by the camera, where J.Lo nudged her husband encouraging him to smile for the camera, per In Touch. According to Parade, many viewers at home spoke out on social media about Affleck looking miserable at the show.
"Ben Affleck is every man who has to go to his wife's work party rn," one person tweeted. "They forgot to update ben affleck's software before tonight," another said. Ben Affleck is so consistent in his misery I almost have to admire it," a third person commented.
Yahoo! reports that Affleck looking dreary at the Grammys quickly began to trend on social media and the memes quickly followed. Although the pair have been married less than a year, their latest outing has sparked speculation that things could be a sign that things are already fizzling out.
