Those who have been Bennifer stans since the early 2000s know Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship has had many ups and downs through the years. They were engaged in 2002 but postponed their 2003 wedding and then officially split in 2004. Both celebrities dated and married (and divorced) other people until reconnecting in 2021 and then tying the knot in 2022. But could there be trouble in paradise again?

Jen and Ben caused a media frenzy when they rekindled their romance in July 2021. After all those years apart, fans were thrilled they found their way back to each other. Since then, Bennifer has packed on the PDA in countless public appearances and prompted public intrigue with not only one but two weddings to make things official.
However, a new video of Ben and Jennifer has been interpreted by some fans that there might be trouble brewing in their relationship.
A video of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has gone viral after Ben slammed his car door.
In May 2023, a video of Ben and Jen started circulating online. As the Daily Mail reported, Bennifer was papped while on a coffee run together, and Ben was caught looking rather disgruntled. The clip shows the couple walking toward a car together. Ben can be seen shaking his head and then opening up the passenger door for his wife. After Jennifer sits down, Ben slams the door closed and then walks around to the driver's side looking extremely irritated.
Reactions to the viral Bennifer video are commenting on how 'miserable' Ben Affleck seems.
Naturally, folks have taken to social media to share their thoughts on Ben's demeanor and actions in the video. One Twitter user wrote, "He purposefully looks away from her while she’s getting in the car. They definitely fighting lol."
Another person tweeted, "I am screaming, why did he slam the door like that ? . Ben Affleck is tired ."
Yet another Twitter user wrote, "What's happening with Ben Affleck…looks like he’s carrying all the world’s problems on his back ."
Someone else tweeted, "Bruh – Ben Affleck looks miserable Dude – you did this to yourself ."
Still, others pointed out that Ben and Jen looked perfectly happy minutes earlier on their coffee run — and at a recent public appearance.
Not everyone was concerned about the door-slamming incident. Plenty of fans have pointed out that photos of the same coffee outing showed Ben and Jennifer in good spirits and holding hands. Not to mention, there was plenty of PDA between husband and wife at a recent premiere for J.Lo's Netflix movie, The Mother.
One explanation for Ben's 'miserable' face: a simple case of RBF.
As one Twitter user pointed out, there could be a simple explanation for Ben seeming upset during his recent coffee run with J.Lo (other than being annoyed about the paparazzi). They tweeted, "People need to understand that Ben Affleck's face is just perpetually miserable even when he's never been happier."
Another Twitter user agreed with this assessment, writing, "Ben Affleck is the first man to suffer from RBF."
Similarly, someone else wondered, "Why can’t people just accept Ben Affleck just has RBF and not everything is an argument."
This isn't the first time folks have misconstrued Ben's RBF for a lovers' spat—and it probably won't be the last.
Remember that Netflix premiere for Jennifer's The Mother—the one where she and Ben were packing on the PDA? A still from that same May 10 event has been misconstrued by some as the couple having an argument. However, as Perez Hilton has pointed out, Ben and Jen were simply discussing how to pose for photos on the red carpet.
Considering Ben's RBF, we have a feeling it won't be the last of such public "arguments" between him and J.Lo.
