Ben Affleck’s misery on the 2023 Grammys became Twitter’s favorite meme, but a source clarified to Entertainment Tonight that, yes, Affleck was not having one of the best time, but that was only because he was feeling off.
“Jen [Lopez, Affleck’s wife] and Ben had a fun date night out on the Grammys, but they’ve each been very busy working on several projects, and Ben was feeling drained,” the source explained. “He desired to go and support Jen, but he wasn’t his usual self.”
The source stressed they still had a very good night, and Lopez was understanding: “Jen had an incredible time and wanted Ben to be excited to be there, but she understood where he was coming from. Jen knows Ben is an incredible husband they usually still made sure to have a very good night together.”
Lopez knows that big events just like the Grammys aren’t really her husband’s natural environment, the source added: “[She] knows how supportive Ben is towards her and her work, but additionally gets that Ben is more of a homebody, and it isn’t his thing to be out at events on a regular basis.”
On her end, Lopez shared a video of herself and Affleck from Grammy night, attempting to shut down web chatter that their evening wasn’t a joyful one. “At all times one of the best time with my love, my husband,” she wrote.
Lopez was on the Grammys, serving as a presenter. The camera cut to her and Affleck throughout the ceremony, where she generally appeared jolly and him a bit more melancholy. Twitter reactions ranged from introverts sympathizing with Affleck to some joking that him looking sad was extremely on-brand for him, considering his “Sad Affleck” meme history.
