Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez argue on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of The Mother. (Read More Here).

While the pair made a dapper entrance to the lavish event, things between the couple seemed tense as they appeared to have an argument while walking the red carpet.

In a strained interaction captured by photographers at the event, Jennifer and Ben seemingly disagreed as they both made stern pointing gestures during a seemingly heated conversation, leaning in closer to each other as words were exchanged.

The exchange comes after two awkward public incidents: the first was at the Grammys in February when Lopez was caught on camera telling her hubby to pretend to enjoy himself and the second was at the Premier of Shotgun Wedding, when the pair appeared to argue over alcohol. There was speculation after the incident that Ben might have been back on the booze.

JLo appeared to smooth over the tension shortly on Wednesday night with what could be described as a kiss of reconciliation. In a video published by the singer on social media, the pair could be seen exchanging a passionate and romantic kiss on the red carpet, which has helped fans forget about their heated discussion just moments before.

It’s hard to tell the true nature of the couple’s relationship: while often appearing totally loved up, they also seem to have their fair share of moments of high tension.
