Trouble in paradise?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are again making headlines for their seemingly tense interactions, reports Page Six.

In a new viral video, which can be watched at the top of this page, the Argo director, 50, is seen opening the car door for the Let’s Get Loud singer, 53, after a coffee run in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

However, after Lopez steps into the vehicle, Affleck appears to slam the car door in a way that made fans question his mood.

“Ohh s**t! That’s Ben Affleck visibly irritated slamming that door on Jennifer Lopez,” one person tweeted. “Ufff….”

“You can ‘have it all’ and still be miserable,” noted another.

A third wrote, “He purposefully looks away from her while she’s getting in the car. They’re definitely fighting lol.”

However, not everyone agreed with those observations, including one person who pointed out that perhaps the paparazzo made the Armageddon star upset.

“I think they saw the cameraman when walking toward the car,” the fan tweeted.

“He’s right there. Jen kept her head down, and Ben is naturally irritated, as he motions to the cameraman at the end. Not a minute of privacy when you’re famous, should be the headline.”

“Dude, he’s p***ed off He’s being filmed. Again,” a second person agreed.

He was also clearly annoyed by the presence of the paparazzi. Picture: Stoianov/Backgrid

The couple was then caught on Wednesday in what appeared to be a tense conversation at the Los Angeles premiere of Lopez’s new movie, The Mother.

The couple then happily posed for photographers, giggled and even shared a smooch.

In February, the Gigli co-stars once again were a topic of conversation after Lopez was seen ordering a miserable-looking Affleck at the 2023 Grammys.

However, the Air star later clarified the situation, telling the Hollywood Reporter that he was merely joking with his wife.

Affleck said when he realised the camera crew was “framing” them in the shot, he told Lopez, “As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.”

“She goes, ‘You better f**king not leave,’” Affleck added. “That’s a husband-and-wife thing. I mean, some of it is. I’m like, ‘All right, who is this act?’”

The Oscar winner has also claimed sour expression is merely the result of genetics.

“Listen, I have a very unhappy-looking resting face,” he joked to Jimmy Kimmel last March.

Affleck and Lopez first started dating in the early 2000s and got engaged for the first time in 2002. However, they never made it down the aisle and split two years later.

Both married and had children with their respective former spouses, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner. They then rekindled their love in 2021 after their divorces.

Lopez and Affleck got engaged for a second time in April 2022 and had a wedding in Las Vegas wedding that July and another lavish ceremony in Georgia last August.

Reps for both movie stars did not return Page Six’s request for comment on their latest viral video.
