When she tied the knot last year with Ben Affleck two decades after they first started dating, fans hoped she'd finally get her happily ever after.
And this seemed to be the case when Jennifer Lopez declared 2022 the best year since she gave birth to her twins, Max and Emme (14).
“It’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true,” the singer and actress said.
But now, seven months into their marriage, cracks seem to be showing in their relationship.
Ben (50) seemed incredibly bored and miserable when he accompanied Jen (53) to the 65th Grammy Awards at the weekend.
In a video that's gone viral, the couple were caught off-guard having a tense moment during the show. In the footage, the actor is seen whispering something in his wife’s ear only for Jen to whip her head around and say something to him. Ben can then be seen frowning in response.

According to a lip-reader, Jen said, “Stop. Look more friendly. Look motivated,” to which Ben replied, “I might.”
The Marry Me actress rolled her eyes at him but when she realised their awkward interaction was caught on camera, she quickly turned her attention to host Trevor Noah and smiled and laughed at what he had to say.
The tiff has sparked concern among fans on social media. “I love Jennifer and Ben Affleck. I’m struggling with my own faith in the endurance of this marriage. They seem so frustrated and unhappy,” someone said on Twitter.
It’s not the first time the pair have been caught bickering on camera.
Last month, Bennifer were filmed having what looked like a lovers' quarrel at the afterparty for Jen's new movie Shotgun Wedding.
In the video, Jen is seen taking a swig of Ben’s drink while looking at him sternly.
It’s no secret that the Deep Water actor has struggled with alcohol addiction over the years and now fans are speculating he might be back on the bottle.
But insiders aren't convinced that's the issue.
Last year, a source close to the couple claimed that the speed at which their relationship progressed took a toll on them. In the run-up to the wedding lots of "real issues” started to rear its head, including their busy schedules and their kids feeling unsettled. Ben has three children with his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner (50) – daughters Violet (17) and Seraphina (14), and son Samuel (10).
“Jen and Ben have moved at 100 miles an hour since getting back together and they got swept away by the excitement of it all,” the insider told Closer magazine. “There’s been some tension between them”.
