Jennifer Lopez allegedly told her husband, Ben Affleck, that he was becoming a meme on social media for looking “miserable” at the Grammys 2023 on Sunday.

A seat filler for the 65th annual award show claimed that she “sat next to Ben Affleck” during one portion of the evening when she saw Lopez, 53, show her hubby that viewers were pointing out his less than thrilled facial expressions.

“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,” influencer @almostannna said in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday.

“Like, he knew, and he also chose just not to change his expression!” she continued. “I love how unbothered that is. So, I know that she was on her phone and saw it and was like, ‘Honey, this is so funny, like look at this.’ And he was like, ‘Jesus Christ’.”

The TikToker added that the “Argo” actor, 50, “didn’t look happy” to be there, but he and the “On the Floor” songstress were still “cute and s – t.”

“They were super lovey-dovey, like their hands were always intertwined,” she gushed. “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.”

The TikToker claimed that Affleck was fully aware of the jokes being made about him but didn’t change his behaviour.

She ended her video by telling a “silly” titbit of when the lovebirds were leaving where Affleck allegedly lifted up her dress too much while Lopez blurted out, “Honey!”

The “Good Will Hunting” actor and the “Hustlers” actress quickly became a hot topic of conversation after she was caught on camera saying several things to him while he appeared stoic.

Body language expert Judi James told Page Six that at one point, Lopez was caught having a “kneejerk” reaction to something Affleck whispered in her ear.

“Her head whipped around to suggest what he had said shocked her,” James told us. “One of her hands grabbed her own knee while the other clutched Ben’s leg in what looked like a control gesture. As she speaks, she seemed to tap in on the chest with the back of her hand, which looks like a reproachful checking gesture rather than a passionate one.”

A lip reader also informed the Daily Mail that Lopez told her hubby to “stop” and to “look more friendly, look motivated.”

Despite all the murmurs, Lopez insisted that she had the “best time” with her boo.
