Jlo and Ben Affleck seen arguing at a red light in Beverly Hills
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were caught having yet another tense conversation in public, further fueling speculation that there could be trouble in paradise, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The couple, who have been married less than a year, were driving in Beverly Hills earlier this month when they pulled up at a red light and started a heated conversation.
Photos taken by a European tourist and obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show visibly frustrated Ben, 50, sitting behind the wheel, talking to Jennifer as she sat in the passenger seat of his Rivian electric SUV, windows down.

The confrontation between the famous couple took place just before 9 am
Ben was seen gesticulating wildly as he talked to his wife as they waited for the light to turn green
It’s clear the two were arguing about something, with a very animated Ben waving his hands up and down as they hung out the window.
In fact, the pair seemed so engrossed in conversation that they seemed oblivious to anyone nearby who might be watching or eavesdropping.
However, Jennifer seemed more reserved and quiet as her husband spoke and gestured wildly during the heated argument.
The tourist, who witnessed the exchange after pulling up next to their car, told DailyMail.com it seemed “quite obvious” from his body language that Ben was “frustrated or annoyed” while Jennifer came across as “timid.”
“There was a lot of hand gestures, Ben was waving his hands up and down and it looked heated,” she said.

“Obviously it looks heated on his end, an argument or argument,” said the tourist snapping at them
J.Lo looked a little sad. They were so deep in conversation that they didn’t even look sideways. They just looked at each other and at the traffic light.
“Obviously it looks heated on his end, an argument or an argument. There were no other cars or people on the street,” the source said.
The photos come just a day after a video went viral on social media of an apparently frustrated Affleck slamming the passenger door of his car after Jennifer got into the car.
The recent brief public exchanges between the two have led detectives on social media to claim that he must be “miserable” in their marriage.
The clip showed Ben walking ahead of Jennifer to their Mercedes on Monday morning while lugging an iced coffee.
The actor opens the door for his wife who slides into the passenger seat.
Ben, who appears frustrated, then firmly closes the door by waving his arm dramatically, before walking to the driver’s seat.
Fans took to Twitter to comment on the viral clip, noting that he looked “miserable” or “stressed out.”
Another person on Twitter wrote, “Is this the new Dunking Donuts commercial?” with someone else writing, “He always looks like he’s fed up and annoyed.
“You can ‘have it all’ and still be miserable,” one tweeted.
One person simply wrote, “Dude going through it.”
Yikes: The actor, 50, opens the door for 53-year-old Jennifer, who slides into the passenger seat. Ben closed the door firmly, even adding a hand gesture to emphasize the closing

Another tweeted, “He purposefully looks away from her as she gets into the car. They sure fight lol.’
But just before the door slammed shut, the pair appeared to be in good spirits, smiling and holding hands during their coffee run.
Ben was grinning from ear to ear as he carried his large iced coffee, while Jennifer smiled and chatted with him, carrying a small hot drink.
But the two had also raised eyebrows the previous day when they attended the premiere of Lopez’s latest film, The Mother, in LA.
In an awkward moment while posing on the red carpet, the singer had a frown on her face and gestured to her husband, who looked angry, though a lip reader later clarified that it was far from a fight.
After being photographed having their tense conversation, they soon returned to Hollywood mode with beaming grins and stage-worthy kisses.
A lip reader confirmed that J.Lo had asked Ben if her low-cut top was “showing too much,” forcing him to reply that it looked good.
Later, when the couple managed to find their proper pose, the Air actor asked his wife to come a little closer, then he leaned into her ear and said, “don’t worry, dear.”
To which Lopez seemingly responded by saying, “come close to me.”

Happy: They smiled shortly after the seemingly tense moment
After the photoshoot, Affleck turned to Jennifer and said “that’s us, done,” he then gave her a kiss and asked if she was okay.
“Yes,” she replied as Jennifer went on to tell Ben to “go over there.”
Tongues first started wagging when the couple appeared to have a tense exchange at the 2023 Grammy Awards in February, though both have since brushed it off.
Ben later clarified the moment, revealing he was joking with Jennifer, but then realized the camera was on them.
“As soon as they start rolling, I’ll slide off you and let you sit next to Trevor,” he told Jennifer, via his interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
She says ‘You better not leave. That’s a husband and wife thing. I mean part of it.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, who is this act?’
Ben and Jennifer got married in August 2022 after rekindling their romance in 2021.
