Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were caught on camera in what looked to be a rather tense moment during the Grammys last night (February 6).
Host Trevor Noah was doing a bit where he was pretending to be on the phone with his mom telling her about the awards show.
He was sat right next to the married couple and it seems like the camera caught a tiny argument between the two.
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.
While a lot has been speculated on what the two were discussing, a lip reader has been brought in to end the rumors.
The unnamed lip reader commissioned by the Daily Mail claims J-Lo said: "Stop. Look more friendly. Look motivated."
Affleck apparently replied with: "I might."
While this was one small moment out of a lengthy awards ceremony, there was a lot more said about Affleck's behavior at the annual event.
Seemingly every time the camera panned to him and his wife of six months he couldn't look less excited.
It didn't matter who was on stage either winning an award or giving one hell of a performance, Ben looked like he'd rather be anywhere else.
At one point, he was seen standing during Stevie Wonder's rendition of 'Higher Ground'.
While J-Lo was moving around energetically in time to the music, Affleck had a more sedated attitude to the performance and could be seen barely nodding his head along.
It wasn’t long before the Batman actor became a meme.
One person wrote: “I'd pay for an alternate Grammy broadcast that's just a livestream of Ben Affleck and J. Lo's table.”
Another said: “Cracking UP that this was Ben Affleck’s reaction to being at Jennifer Lopez’s side at the #Grammys watching Stevie Wonder and Chris Stapleton tear the roof off the place with their rendition of Higher Ground. He looks like someone just told him his dog died, come on man.”
A third commented: “Ben Affleck at the Grammys is me any time I have to be on a Zoom call.”
While someone else said: “Someone get Ben Affleck a cigarette and a Dunkin’ coffee stat.”
But, it appears J-Lo had the best night as she posted a video on Instagram.
She wrote alongside the clip: "Always the best time with my love, my husband."
