Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were recently seen at Tina's Pumpkin Patch in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, enjoying each other's company with an embrace and a kiss.

Ben tenderly clasped his arms around JLo's shoulders as she tightly held him around the waist-the perfect picture of love between two celebrity favorites.

With gentle tenderness, they embraced in a loving sway.

But body language expert Judi James commented that their public display of affection was likely a show of solidarity, an attempt to prove to everyone that all was well between them.

Recently, there has been a lot of speculation that Ben and Jennifer's marriage isn't going so well.

This month, they shared an awkward car ride in Los Angeles, which only fueled these rumors.

Back in May, they had to deny reports that their red carpet appearance for Jennifer's new movie, "Mother," was marred by a heated argument. Footage showing them seeming tense seemed to suggest otherwise.

The Mirror was indulge in an interview with Judi, who opened up about a few claims that Jennifer and Ben were trying to disprove.

She commented: "They both had been emitting an array of unenthusiastic vibes and body language for a while now, so they opted to carry out a pumpkin patch PDA as a way of showing the world their true passion for each other."

Amidst the rambunctiousness of children and parents alike, Jen and Ben embraced tenderly. Arms tightly wound together, she looked up at him lovingly as he leaned forward to kiss her nose.

In any other circumstance, someone would give the couple some privacy, but unfortunately, this pumpkin patch was bustling like a supermarket, which only seemed to make onlookers smirk awkwardly.

In a surprising analysis, the body language expert commented on how odd they appeared.

"It is rather odd that this couple would be so physically affectionate together while attending a group event, as living together could suggest they have plenty of opportunities to show their affection in private. This public display appears to be more of an extended ritual than anything else."

The expert noted: "This couple is not shy when publicly expressing their affection, often posing for photographers in what appear to be candid moments of love. The latest display of affection is no different, and while possibly orchestrated, the sentiment remains that their marriage is still strong."

On their pumpkin-picking date, Ben and Jennifer chose to dress comfortably.

Jennifer wore light blue ripped jeans combined with a beige jumper. Her hair was pulled into an attractive updo and completed with oversized sunglasses. Similarly, Ben wore jeans but opted to team them with a grey and white sweater.
