Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may be trying to put on a united front amid all of the rumors surrounding their alleged relationship issues. The couple are keeping fans guessing about what’s really going on in their marriage. They’ve spent long stints out of the public eye only to reunite looking stressed. On Sunday, the pair were spotted out in Santa Monica, where they attended the basketball game of Affleck’s son, Samuel. Photos of the duo paint a painfully awkward situation as the pair look to be out of sync as their divorce drama continues to heat up.
TMZ reports that Lopez and Affleck were photographed headed to the basketball game together, but they weren’t putting on their usual affectional display. Instead, when they did get close, it ended up being a cringe-worthy moment. JLo looked casual as she walked arm-in-arm with her husband. However, when Affleck went in for a kiss, the singer refused him by turning her face and giving him an air kiss that resulted in an uncomfortable moment that was caught on camera.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Show Uncomfortable PDA Amid Divorce Rumors
Jennifer Lopez’s reunion with Ben Affleck comes just days after she announced the cancellation of her summer tour. JLo revealed that she scrapped the tour to spend time with her family. Perhaps she and Affleck are working on their marriage. However, their awkward encounter could hint that things aren’t going well.
Meanwhile, Closer previously reported that Lopez has become a pro at navigating divorce, and that she’s already got all the pieces in place to end her marriage to Affleck.
“JLo knows how to handle a divorce, and she’s already been meeting with lawyers. Even though they’ve been married such a short time, there’s still a ton of assets to divvy up. She’s also hired a special crisis PR team, and they’re brainstorming how she and Ben can cut the cord with as little collateral damage as possible,” a source tells the outlet.
In addition, Jennifer Lopez is allegedly worried about her reputation. The insider added that she doesn’t want it to appear that Ben Affleck dumped her. So, she’s orchestrating a united front with the actor in hopes that the photos will “calm the frenzy down.” However, fans aren’t convinced.
