Jennifer Lopez has referenced husband Ben Affleck's 'bored' expression at the Grammys in the most hilarious way.
The couple unintentionally became the viral moment from this year's ceremony after Affleck was filmed look looking pretty bored with the evening's festivities, according to viewers.
Affleck joined his wife in the audience, who presented the award for Best Pop Vocal Album to winner Harry Styles.
In one awkward moment while host Trevor Noah was doing a bit right next to the couple, the camera caught the usually loved-up couple frantically whispering to each other and fans assumed they might have had a tiny argument.

Affleck whispers something into her ear, which causes her to jerk backwards and say something stern. Lopez then looks towards the camera when she realises the world's eyes are watching them.
Then an unnamed lip reader commissioned by the Daily Mail suggested J.Lo said: "Stop. Look more friendly. Look motivated."
Affleck apparently replied with: "I might."
Now, the 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' singer has entered the discussion by sharing a meme about her husband's facial expression.
The Grammy-nominated pop star posted a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it meme which uses a picture of Affleck from the trailer of his upcoming movie, Air, a story that follows how Sonny Vaccaro, a shoe salesman at Nike, worked to sign Michael Jordan to a deal to wear the company's shoes.
She simply captioned the meme: “My husband’s happy face.”
So, not only is Lopez aware of her husband's world-famous resting 'bored' face, she also has an incredible sense of humour.
Pairing the meme with the trailer also lets us know she's the queen of marketing, too. But should we really be surprised after that 'Jenny From the Block' video co-starring Affleck people are still talking about over 20 years later?
Lots of Lopez's 234 million followers saw the meme and thought it was hilarious.
"Saw that and was all, well played," one follower commented.
Referencing the nosey folk who think there may be trouble in paradise, another fan wrote: "That made me chuckle! Great comeback to all the haters!"
While a third person joked: "Crying at the caption in the video," alongside a laugh while crying emoji.
And a fourth quipped: "TELL ‘EM MY JENNY."
Meanwhile, a seat filler at the 65th Grammy Awards, who posts on TikTok as @almostanna, claims to have been sat right behind them, and she spilled all the details on what was said between the couple.
It sounds like Affleck knows exactly what you're saying about his face.
Sharing a meme to TikTok, 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 favorite seat because I was right in front of Beyonce... So 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 favorite movies! You're my hero!'"I was just so lucky to be next to them!The whole time they were cute and s**t... JLo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, 'Oh my God, honey, look at this meme circulating about you!'
She added: "And he was like, 'Oh God, this again'. Like, he knew during the performance that he was a meme!"
This is incredible!
Air will be released 5 April 2023.
