A social media user has shut down speculation that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were at odds with one another during Sunday’s Grammy Awards.

The couple became a hot topic on social media when a particularly tense conversation between the pair was caught on camera.

While host Trevor Noah was introducing controversial album of the year winner Harry Styles’s performance, the newlyweds could be seen animatedly speaking in the corner.

However, TikTok user @almostannna has debunked speculation that they were at odds and shared what it was like sitting next to the couple during the live broadcast.

The social media user, who was a seat-filler at the awards, revealed that Lopez, 53, was informing her husband, 50, that he had gone viral after his bored expression was caught on camera during Stevie Wonder’s performance of hit song Higher Ground, and not having a fight.

Negating reports of tensions, she said: “I sat next to Ben Affleck at the Grammys. Me and my seat filler friend Jake and Ben Affleck was right there.

“I was next to them for a good bit, that was my favourite seat because I was right in front of Beyoncé...

“I didn’t know the meme about Ben Affleck being upset at awards shows, like I didn’t know that was a thing, and we also didn’t talk to them because Ben Affleck didn’t look happy so I didn’t want to talk to him and be like, ‘Oh my God, Good Will Hunting is one of my favourite movies! You’re my hero!’

“I was just so lucky to be next to them! The whole time they were cute and s**t... J.Lo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, ‘Oh my God, honey, look at this meme circulating about you!’ And he was like, ‘Oh God, this again.’

“Like he knew during the performance that he was a meme. Like he knew, and he also chose just not to change his expression. Like I love how unbothered that is.

“So I know that she was like on her phone and saw it and was like, ‘Honey, this is so funny, look at this.’ And he was like, ‘Jesus Christ.’

“But they were super lovey dovey, like their hands were always intertwined. I don’t know how to describe it. But they just were!

“So, it wasn’t like, ‘Oh my God, this is going to lead to divorce!’ Like, they were cute!”
