Jennifer Lopez informed Ben Affleck his miserable expressions had been turned into a meme during the 2023 Grammy awards, according to a woman who claims to have sat next to them during the show.
TikToker Almostanna claimed to have observed Ben learn he had gone viral in real-time as she served as a seat filler during the show.
In a video posted to her account on Tuesday, Almostanna revealed JLo, 53, realized her husband, 50, had achieved Internet stardom once again while going through her phone during the show.
The songstress thought the memes were funny and showed them to her husband. However, despite fans poking fun at him, Ben did nothing to change his expression, the seat filler claims.
Almostanna also said the couple, nicknamed ‘Bennifer’, were constantly holding hands and putting on a ‘lovey-dovey’ appearance.

‘I sat next to Ben Affleck at the Grammys,’ she began. ‘Me and my seat filler friend Jake and Ben Affleck was right there,’ she explained.
‘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!” And he was like, “Oh God, this again.” Like he knew during the performance that he was a meme!
‘Like he knew, and he also chose just not to change his expression! Like I love how unbothered that is! So I know that she was like on her phone and saw it and was like, “Honey, this is so funny, look at this.” And he was like, “Jesus Christ.”
‘But they were super lovey dovey, like their hands were always intertwined. I don’t know how to describe it. But they just were! So it wasn’t like, “Oh my God, this is going to lead to divorce!” Like, they were cute!’
The seat filler also shared a funny moment as the couple left the show, when Ben attempted to help Jennifer only to inadvertently lift her dress higher than intended.
‘Also they left early and Ben took the skirt of her dress and lifted it up too much! And JLo was like “Honey!” It was really silly.’
Jennifer and Ben were caught on camera sharing a tense exchange during the show. A lip reader commissioned by DailyMail.com has since revealed what the two had actually said during the awkward moment that went viral.
