Following a reported dispute during their New Year’s holiday in St. Barts, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were seen displaying affection, leading to speculation that their public displays of affection (PDA) might be orchestrated.
The couple, who celebrated the New Year together, were observed having a contentious conversation while shopping. Yet, they appeared to reconcile, as evidenced by a photograph shared by Entertainment Tonight, capturing a moment of closeness where Affleck held Lopez close for a kiss.
This display of intimacy shortly after their argument has prompted reactions from the public, with some suggesting on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) that these moments of PDA are possibly staged, especially after contentious incidents catch media attention.
These speculations come on the heels of predictions by celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman, who forecasted a turbulent year ahead for the couple, with “misunderstandings and petty arguments” predicted based on their astrological charts.
Lopez and Affleck, who were initially engaged in the early 2000s and later parted ways, rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married in a private ceremony in 2022, reigniting interest in their relationship dynamics.
