Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 'laugh off and move past' awkward Grammys 'spat'

Jennifer Lopez will likely "laugh off" her awkward encounter with husband Ben Affleck at last week's Grammy Awards, according to a celebrity PR expert.

The Jenny from the Block hitmaker, 53, will reportedly "move on" from the embarrassing ordeal after being caught on camera 'snapping' at the Hollywood star.

Ben, 50, was filmed in a seemingly tense, and cringeworthy, exchange with wife JLo at the glitzy awards bash held in Los Angeles last weekend.

Footage of the ordeal has since gone viral, with many believing that the couple didn't notice the TV cameras right in front of them – filming show host Trevor Noah.

Now a US-based showbiz publicity expert tells The Mirror that the Waiting for Tonight songstress and Gone Girl actor will "simply laugh off the awkward moment and move on".

Entertainment PR Sven Patzer told us: "The recent 'happy face' moment between Jennifer and Ben has indeed gone viral and generated a lot of buzz on social media.

"It is also possible that they were not aware of the specific camera or microphone capturing their conversation, and were caught off guard in that moment."

Earlier this week, a seat filler took to TikTok to explain what really happened between the pair, and it wasn't as negative as people think it may be.

"JLo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, 'Oh my god, honey. Look at this meme circulating about you' and he was like, 'Oh god, this again'."

The Grammys attendee revealed that the couple were "super lovey dovey" throughout the night and that their "hands were always intertwined".

Sveny Corp CEO Sven told The Mirror: "Jennifer and Ben are experienced and seasoned celebrities who have been in the public eye for many years.

"They are likely to have developed a certain level of resilience and poise when it comes to dealing with such incidents.

"It is possible that they will simply laugh off the awkward moment and move on, as they have both dealt with similar situations in the past."

On the likelihood that JLo didn't know the cameras were rolling, Sven added: "It is impossible to know for certain whether Jennifer was aware of the cameras or not.

"But based on their experiences as high-profile celebrities, it is likely that they will handle the situation with grace and professionalism."
