One of Hollywood’s biggest power couples, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, have proven their commitment to each other in a big way this Valentine’s Day – by getting matching tattoos, of course!
The news comes after a tumultuous few weeks for the pair, after they were caught on camera in what seemed to be a rather tense conversation during the Grammy Awards ceremony.
As you may already know, the pair quickly became the main topic of conversation online after multiple videos were shared of their apparent spat, as well as Affleck appearing out of sorts.
Affleck and Lopez wed last year, over twenty years after they split up, and it appeared that they had finally achieved their fairytale romance.
In a recent interview with Today, Jennifer expressed nothing but joy for her new spouse and life, calling 2022 her “best year” since the birth of her children. She added: “It’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true.”
However, things haven’t been going as smoothly for the pair as she’s letting on. They have been spotted numerous times squabbling about one thing or another. But their most recent spat, which has since gone viral, has led people to believe their relationship isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
In the clip, Jennifer turns her head and sharply addresses Ben after the actor can be seen bending down to whisper something in her ear.
While we can’t make out what the pair are talking about, a lip reader for the Daily Mail claims J Lo said: “Stop. Look more friendly. Look motivated.”
They went on to say that Affleck replied with: “I might.”
However, a seat filler that was sat next to Affleck during the event has opened up about what the pair were really talking about all night.
@almostanna posted a TikTok video opening up about the night, she said: “I sat next to Ben Affleck at the Grammys. Me and my seat filler friend Jake and Ben Affleck was right there.
“I was next to them for a good bit, that was my favourite seat because I was right in front of Beyonce… So I didn’t know the meme about Ben Affleck being upset at awards shows, like I didn’t know that was a thing, and we also didn’t talk to them because Ben Affleck didn’t look happy so I didn’t want to talk to him and be like, ‘Oh my God, Good Will Hunting is one of my favourite movies! You’re my hero!’”
She went on: “I was just so lucky to be next to them! The whole time they were cute and s**t… JLo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, ‘Oh my God, honey, look at this meme circulating about you!’ And he was like, ‘Oh God, this again’. Like, he knew during the performance that he was a meme!
“So I know that she was like on her phone and saw it and was like, “Honey, this is so funny, look at this.” And he was like, “Jesus Christ.”
It appears the 2 are both very much in love, she added: “They were super lovey-dovey like their hands were always intertwined. I don’t know how to describe it.
“But they just were! So it wasn’t like, “Oh my God, this is going to lead to divorce!” Like, they were cute!’”
And, despite all the press speculation, J Lo has proven this to truly be the case with her latest Instagram post.
The ‘On the Floor’ singer shared a selection of loved up snaps of her and her husband, including some that revealed the pair’s new matching tattoos.
J Lo’s tat is located on her left ribcage makes use of the infinity symbol intertwined with an arrow as well as the words ‘Ben’ and ‘Jennifer’. Affleck’s new ink, however, is under his armpit, and featured 2 arrows crossed over with the letters ‘J’ and ‘B’.
Fans and friends of the couple have flocked to the comments section to share the love on their new tattoos.
Keke Palmer wrote: “Gon’ head girl!”
Loren Ridinger commented: “Love you both. So grateful for you.”
But not everyone was sure of the pair’s romantic gesture, with one fan writing: “Trying suuuuuuper hard to convince us…”
