Once again, photos of Ben Affleck looking less than thrilled attending an event with wife Jennifer Lopez sparked rumors of trouble in paradise, but fear not Bennifer 2.0 fans, the myth has been debunked.
A video posted to Twitter on Wednesday showed Affleck and Lopez walking to their car, Affleck seemingly in a mood. Despite his facial expression, however, he still opened the door for his love.
Swoon.
But as soon as Lopez was in the passenger seat, Affleck slammed the door and stormed to the driver's side, staring down the person filming the video and giving a "what" gesture with his arms.

Viewers of the video expressed their concern over the state of the couple's relationship.

And pictures posted the very next day didn't help the speculation.
Photos of the duo appearing to be in a heated discussion at the premiere of Lopez's movie Mother only added fuel to the fire.

However, video captured during the same moment tells a different story as Affleck and Lopez seemed to be having a quick discussion on the red carpet.
\u201c@ThatsFNW @DailyLoud No sequel they were just talking.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
Daily Mail reported an expert lip reader revealed to FEMAIL what actually went down.
According to the lip reader, Lopez was worried about her top "showing too much."
After taking their spots, the exchange went something like this:
Affleck: Don't worry babe.
Lopez: Come close to me.
Affleck: That's us, done.
Affleck then asked if his wife was okay, to which she responded, "Yes," and then told him they need to "step over there."
Other videos showed the couple enjoying their evening together, as well.
\u201c@teewhybabee @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud Correct. Honestly it looked like they had a wonderful time \u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
After viewing the videos, social media users shared a different take on the situation.
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud It's looking more like they planning on where to meet up after separating on the red carpet.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud when you get the context \ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80\ud83d\udc80\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud They are a team. That's what this looked like to me. So cute.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud Bruh he pointing and making a serious face and people assuming they arguing \ud83e\udd26\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud Exactly he is like \u201cok you go there and I\u2019ll go here\u201d they\u2019re directing where they\u2019re gonna go for photos / press and probably then where they\u2019ll meet back up\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud And he was probably trying to talk over the noise\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
\u201c@hharleesantos @ThatsFNW @DailyLoud Affleck's face does what it does. Especially when he's around the Paps. People can spin these two as much as they like, but they're absolutely made for each other.\u201d— Daily Loud (@Daily Loud) 1683844754
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it doesn't tell the whole story. We're delighted to see videos of the couple enjoying their evening out.
Lopez's film Mother is available to stream on Netflix now.
