Jennifer Lopez has hit out at criticism of husband Ben Affleck after his bored expression became a viral meme following the 50-year-old's appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Jennifer, 53, tweeted that Affleck's deadpan look is his "happy face" as she shared the promo trailer for his new film 'Air'.
The tweet comes after the couple were seen to be arguing at the 65th Grammy Awards in LA on Sunday February 5, where camera caught the moment Jennifer appeared to snap.
Upon realising the camera was watching them, the couple tried to compose themselves and turn to comedian host Trevor Noah.
