Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck already suffering relationship issues and merely tolerating each other?

After rekindling their romance over two decades after calling off their initial engagement, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in July 2022.

Since then, the 54-year-old singer and the 51-year-old Hollywood actor have purchased and moved into an opulent $60 million mega home that comes with an elaborate infinity pool.

The pair spends time at the 46,000-square-foot estate with Ben's children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, and Jennifer's twins, Max and Emme, 15, whom she has with Marc Anthony.

However, it appears that things haven't always gone well for Jennifer and Ben because they've been spotted appearing quite nervous on a number of stressful public appearances.

The power couple was last spotted getting into a violent argument while on vacation in St. Barts, where they appeared irritable.

And they're now deemed Hollywood's most bad-tempered couple. That escalated fast!

They looked stressed as they browsed in the upscale boutiques of St. Bart's capital, Gustavia, on Saturday of last week, giving the impression that they had had a stressful day in paradise.

They got into a furious argument as they browsed at pricey Bulgari jewelry, and at one point Ben appeared irritated as his wife tried on several ostentatious items. With a strained grimace, he tossed his hands in the air while Jennifer sat next to him during the evidently stressful shopping trip.

Only a few months prior in September, Jennifer was spotted in the passenger seat of a car with Ben while they drove around Los Angeles, appearing extremely anxious.

Jennifer looked thoughtful as Ben drove her about in his black car, and they seemed to be having a serious conversation.

The Grammy contender listened "intently," according to an eyewitness who told DailyMail.com that the father-of-three seemed to be doing the majority of the talking. When they parked the car, they apparently talked for a little while more, during which she 'turned away' from him 'as if absorbing what he was saying'.

The couple is "very much in love with each other," a source close to them told DailyMail.com, despite the superstar's tense manner. It happened after Ben and Jennifer were seen in May driving through Beverly Hills and appeared to be having another heated exchange.

The couple, captured in images taken by a European visitor and exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, were driving when they stopped at a red light and got into an argument. Jennifer sat in the passenger seat of Ben's electric Rivian SUV, the windows pulled down, and he was talking to her, looking plainly upset.

During the apparently heated conversation, the Batman actor was observed to be quite energetic as he threw his hands up and down in the air.

After pulling up next to their car, the tourist saw the exchange and told DailyMail.com that Jennifer Lopez was 'timid' and Ben's body language suggested he was 'very clear' that he was annoyed or irritated. "There were a lot of hand gestures, Ben was waving his hands up and down and it looked heated," she said.

"J.Lo looked a little bit sad. They were so deep in conversation that they didn't even look to the side once. They only looked at each other and the traffic light."

"It clearly looks heated on his end, a discussion or argument. There were no other cars or people on the street," the source added. The images were released just one day after a video of an ostensibly irate Ben slamming his car's passenger door after Jennifer got inside went viral on social media.

Another acerbic public sighting saw Ben carrying an iced coffee and going in front of Jennifer to their Mercedes.

His wife was seated in the passenger seat when he opened the door for her. He then walked over to the driver's seat and forcefully shut the door with a theatrical swing of his arm.
