Jennifer Lopez Caught ‘Flirting’ with Another Man around Ben Affleck Weeks after Alleged Tense Moment

• How Jennifer Lopez reacted to a DJ at her movie premiere left people wondering if he would be her next boyfriend.
• She and her husband, Ben Affleck, had another tense moment at the beginning of the month.
• However, in a later appearance, Lopez and Affleck seemed to be on the same page as they were all smiles.

On May 10, 2023, Jennifer Lopez, 53, had a launch in Los Angeles for her latest movie, “The Mother.” The singer and actor attended the event with her husband of almost one year, Ben Affleck, 50.

However, while the event went by flawlessly, a viral social media video of the occasion started making the rounds. In the clip, Lopez was recorded seemingly flirting with the disc jockey (DJ) at the event right before her husband.

The recording was taken as the actress and other attendees posed for photos on the red carpet. About 11 seconds into the footage, the musician noticed the DJ playing one of her old songs, and she danced a bit.

The “Hustler” star then turns to the DJ and winks seductively at him with her tongue pressed between her teeth, and he smiles. Affleck, who stood next to Lopez, noticed the exchange and turned to see what was happening, but the clip ended before people could see how the “Batman” actor reacted.

Some people saw the gesture as Lopez acknowledging and thanking the DJ for playing her track, while others envisioned something more sinister. Responding to a YouTube critic who thought the singer was outright flirting, someone wrote:

“Okay jlo likes to flirt. So what.”

The person acknowledged that the DJ was cute and speculated on Affleck and Lopez’s relationship being “already done.” The social media user figured the actor could move on to another woman while his wife could find another husband.

Someone else agreed that the actress was “being flirty” but also felt she couldn’t be blamed because of how the DJ looked and that they would’ve done the same! Another Twitter clip of the incident said – in Spanish – the musician was “caught flirting” with a “young DJ.”

The post emphasized that the incident happened right in front of Affleck at a public event. The couple allegedly had a tense conversation shortly afterward, with a lip reader claiming they were discussing where to stand as they posed for pictures.

People speculated that the incident was the same as when the singer was married to the father of her children, Marc Anthony. On May 21, 2005, Lopez and her then-husband attended a New York Yankees game where she met her favorite player, Alex Rodriguez.

Before the game began at Queens’ Shea Stadium, the actress was photographed shaking hands with Rodriguez during their first meeting. Lopez and Anthony also took a couple’s photo with the player between them.

At the time, Rodriguez was married to Cynthia Scurtis, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2008. Twelve years after their first meeting, Lopez had divorced her husband, and she and Rodriguez had begun dating before getting engaged.

Someone who shared the viral clip of Lopez’s interaction with the DJ at “The Mother” premiere wondered in Spanish, “Will this be her new victim?” while referring to the DJ. The poster said the actress was caught “staring weirdly at another man” right before her husband.

Sadly, seeing the couple arguing or having heated moments had become a norm since marriage. An incident that happened in May 2023 saw Affleck reacting frustrated around his wife with the paparazzi present.

On May 9, 2023, the day before the DJ incident, Lopez and Affleck made headlines when another one of their videos went viral because of how they interacted. In the clip, the “Argo” star seemed to have gone to get some coffee in Los Angeles, and when he and his wife returned to their car, paparazzi were lurking.

Affleck politely opened the car door for his wife and seemed exasperated as he waited for her to settle in. As soon as she was comfortable, he semi-slammed her door and turned to the person taking footage of them when he got to the driver’s side.

The actor [Ben Affleck] completed his look with sunglasses as he laughed out loud alongside [Jennifer] Lopez.

He seemed to address the person as if to say, “You got what you wanted,” and then he got into the car. While some fans thought the couple was in another argument, others believed the “Armageddon” star was just upset with not being allowed a second of privacy.

Despite all the rumors of possible trouble in paradise, the couple seemed happy in love during an outing later that month. Affleck and Lopez were recorded having an interaction that seemed to prove that they were doing fine.

On May 20, 2023, Affleck and his wife were seen out shopping in Beverly Hills. The couple appeared to be in love and happy as they gave onlookers plenty of displays of affection, which included them kissing and holding hands.

Although recent interactions between the duo have come off as tense, the “Let’s Get Loud” singer and her husband appeared to be doing fine during their outing. The couple was joined by Lopez’s twin children with Anthony, Max, and Emme, 15.

The musician was dressed for the summer in a brown and yellow striped maxi dress with spaghetti straps and a cutout design at the back. The “Air” actor’s wife carried a brown Yves Saint Laurent purse while wearing matching heels.

Her hair was styled away from her face, and she accessorized with brown sunglasses and gold hoop earrings. Affleck complimented his wife with a beige shirt, matching Nike sneakers, a white T-shirt, and blue jeans.

The actor completed his look with sunglasses as he laughed out loud alongside Lopez. The couple kissed lovingly, and the songstress seemed to be having a fantastic time as she laughed at her husband’s jokes.

Seeing Affleck all smiles and relaxed was pleasing as the star generally looked grumpy, causing speculations that he was unhappy in his marriage. In March 2023, the Oscar Award winner appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show, addressing his classic look.

The actor laughed as he explained, “I have a very unhappy-looking resting face.” However, during his shopping outing, he had a lively conversation with his wife, but it’s good to note that when he and Lopez dated years back, the media was one of the reasons they separated.

Lopez and the actor dated and even got engaged because they were so in love. However, they failed to walk down the aisle because the paparazzi were constantly stalking them to take pictures, and the pressure became too much, leading their engagement to be called off and their relationship to end.
