Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been accused of staging a united front to dispel growing divorce rumors. The couple attended a movie event with their children at the Aero Theatre in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on Sunday, seemingly reacting to the swirling speculation about their relationship.
An expert commented on their public appearance, saying, “The shot of Ben smiling out the car window while Jennifer adopts a similar smile beside and behind him is totally out of kilter in terms of any natural body language from the couple, both of whom have been tending to adopt more negative responses to the heavy press presence that has surrounded them since their marriage.”
Regarding the Air director, the expert noted Affleck’s general aversion to paparazzi culture, stating, “Ben in particular has shown himself to be allergic to this type of paparazzi attention, so the wide smile does tend to look performed here.”
It’s pertinent to mention that for the past couple of days, reports have been circulating in the media that Affleck and Lopez are “heading for divorce.” However, the lovebirds have made two public appearances together since the split rumors, providing a sign of relief to their fans.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Affleck and Lopez’s recent outings suggest an effort to counteract the negative press and demonstrate their unity. While some experts remain skeptical about the authenticity of their public displays of affection, their continued appearances together seem aimed at reassuring the public and their supporters about the stability of their relationship.
