Those Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunion photos may not paint a completely accurate picture.
On September 14, the exes were photographed in public for the first time since the 55-year-old singer filed for divorce from the 52-year-old actor in late August. The former couple were seen with their children outside of The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, with Affleck dressed in a blue button down and matching Nike sneakers while Lopez wore a long-sleeve black crop top and high-waisted denim bell-bottoms.
DeuxMoi was one of the first celebrity gossip platforms to share the paparazzi photos on Instagram—and commenters had a lot to say about Affleck’s body language in the second slide, which shows the Good Will Hunting star leaning towards his ex-wife with both arms thrown backwards. “I know a lot of the online chatter about these two is very anti JLO but I don’t like his energy and his aggressive body language and I never have,” one popular comment read. “That 2nd picture stresses me out just looking at it.”
However, according to DeuxMoi, these photos don’t tell the whole story. Whomever runs their Instagram account replied to multiple comments, revealing they omitted photos that included the couple’s children. In many of those photos, they say Affleck was smiling.
“He wasn’t mad. There’s pics of him smiling but the kids are in them too,” DeuxMoi replied to one commenter. When another user mentioned his “aggro” body language in slide two, Deux Moi responded with a shrug emoji, writing, “Maybe aggro is his permanent state…I’m just saying there are a lot of pics of him smiling but you could see the kids in them so we didn’t post.”
