Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been spotted in the midst of what appeared to be a tense exchange while driving around Los Angeles.

The Good Will Hunting actor, 51, was seen gesturing animatedly to his wife on Friday, while she angrily stared ahead.

In another picture, Lopez, 54, was glaring at Affleck as he spoke to her.

While it certainly appeared to be a fairly unpleasant chat, a source insisted to Page Six that “there was nothing heated about their discussion”.

However, the insider did not provide any details on what they were actually talking about.

It comes just weeks after Affleck shared a tender moment in the car with his ex-wife, Jenner Garner, with the pictures sparking plenty of headlines.

The actress, 51, was photographed leaning in to hug her former husband from the back seat, while their 14-year-old daughter, Seraphina, sat as a passenger beside her father.

The famous exes split in 2015 and also share daughter Violet, 17, and Samuel, 11.

Meanwhile, it’s not the first time Lopez and Affleck – who tied the knot last year – have been photographed in what seemed to be a heated conversation.

Back in February, the Gone Girl star’s miserable expression during the Grammy Awards went viral after cameras caught him and his then-newlywed wife appearing to get in a tiff.

Affleck later addressed the reports directly, telling the Hollywood Reporter that it was a typical “husband-and-wife” thing.

“I saw [Grammy host Trevor Noah approach] and I was like, ‘Oh, God,’ they were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling,” the two-time Oscar winner told the Hollywood Reporter. “I leaned into her and I was like, ‘As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.’”

“You better f**king not leave,” warned Lopez in response, according to her husband.

Just a couple of months later, in May, the couple again made headlines for what appeared to be another public spat while driving around in their SUV.

In footage shared of the event, Affleck, who had his window rolled down, was seen waving his hands around while speaking seriously to his wife.

The onlooker who shot the video claimed he appeared “frustrated or irritated” while Lopez looked “a little bit sad”.

“There were a lot of hand gestures,” the witness told the Daily Mail.

“Ben was waving his hands up and down, and it looked heated.”

However, a source close to the couple again defended them in the wake of the footage going viral, telling the New York Post: “You can clearly see they are having a conversation, and she is listening to him. He’s a storyteller and can be animated when he speaks.”
