Body language expert Traci Brown, of TraciBrown.com, explained how this exchange was one of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s most intense moments, as the “Jenny from the Block” singer was noticeably uncomfortable when asked about the divorce rumors. “She chuckles — in this case I think that’s nervousness,” Brown told Nicki Swift. Before scolding the reporter, Lopez struggled to gain composure. “[Lopez] leans back — trying to get away from the question,” the body language expert said.
The most revealing tell of how bothered Lopez was by the question came when she finally responded after moving nervously. Brown points out what Lopez did after saying, “You know better than that,” to the reporter. “And most importantly [Lopez] wrings the mic. This is a stress relief,” Brown said while adding this indicated the “Jersey Girl” actor and Affleck were having difficulties. “So she’s got a significant amount of stress around the topic. If there’s nothing to be stressed about then why not answer,” Brown added. Multiple X users echoed the same sentiments. They believed that Lopez dodging the question spoke volumes about the status of her relationship. “If truly nothing was wrong she would’ve just said we are fine,” one fan wrote.
Back in June 2023, another body language expert explained how Lopez and Affleck’s love fest at an event felt scripted. The pair packed on the PDA while attending “The Flash” premiere, but Affleck kept his hands in his pocket while kissing his wife for the cameras.
