There were reports of a seemingly "tense" conversation between Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck.
The Daily Mail captured footage of Bennifer taking a spin around Beverly Hills recently. The two A-listers appeared to share a ride inside the actor-director's black SUV.
Witnesses of a recent encounter between actor the "Gone Girl" actor and the "Jenny From The Block" singer reported that they were seen having a heated discussion while driving.
Ben was said to have spoken sternly to JLo with his car window rolled down, who appeared "timid," according to one onlooker.
This witness also noted that JLo seemed "sad" during their exchange and that Ben had an air of "frustration or irritation."
The witness described the scene as intense, noting the "Argo" star was making strong hand gestures.
"It almost looked like an argument," they stated. The eyewitness observed Ben's hands moving certainly up and down dramatically.
At the premiere of her latest film, "The Mother," Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship seemed strained as they exchanged words before posing for pictures.
The 50-year-old actor and the multi-hyphenate, who tied the knot last summer, have allegedly not been on solid terms lately.
It was clear that Bennifer had been engaging in a heated exchange before emerging on the red carpet.
The couple's expressions seemed at odds with one another as Ben kept pointing his fingers.
However, upon their arrival at the event, they promptly put on welcoming displays of affection for all the onlookers, as it turned out, according to a lip reader who spoke to the Daily Mail.

These recent "tense" moments between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck come after their recent wedding last year after almost two decades of being apart.
Judi James, an expert in nonverbal communication, has told The Mirror that JLo's behavior could indicate a fear that the same tensions that caused their initial engagement might reappear.
After initially becoming betrothed in 2002, Ben and JLo eventually decided to call off their engagement two years later due to the overwhelming media scrutiny they were facing.
Judi said that the "Maid In Manhattan" actress had been "heartbroken" due to their last split, claiming that the media attention had strained them.
Moreover, she noted that Ben's growing frustration over being photographed when they were out getting coffee together recently was not helping the situation.
The expert said that fears exist that he may not be able to cope with once again being put under such strain, which could cause a repetition of Jennifer Lopez's distress leading up to their first canceled engagement and marriage.
She went on to note that having been accustomed to living in the spotlight for so long, A-list fame veterans often find themselves captured on camera during situations that could be misconstrued as "tense" exchanges.
This is despite JLo and Ben's otherwise perfect and idyllic public displays of affection, creating an awkward impression that can frighten their fans.
