Jennifer Lopez's latest TikTok video has sparked concerns for Ben Affleck.
The Marry Me actress, 53, took to the social media platform on Sunday, November 20, to share a loved-up video with her husband, 50.
In the clip, the newlyweds snuggled and smiled while Affleck munched on some gum.
"Guys I did it, I found the person that makes me the happiest I've ever been," a child-like voice said in the audio playing in the background.
In the comments, one person wrote: "Ben blink if u [sic] need help." At the time of publication, the remark had racked up over 1,000 likes.
"Why does Ben always look so unhappy?" a second said in a reply, which garnered a similar amount of likes.
"Second time around may be a charm," someone else joked, referring to the couple's rekindled romance.
Others, meanwhile, encouraged the pair to shrug off the backlash.
"Why is it that ppl shame people for finding/realizing who their person is?" a separate user asked. "Do you, Jen and Ben! Life's too short and we're all going in the same dirt!"
"Their breakup was a tough one for me lol," said another poster. "I love that they found their way back to each other."
The A-listers met in 2002 on the set of their movie Gigli and started dating that same year. They got engaged that November and were scheduled to walk down the aisle in September 2003, but called off the wedding days before exchanging vows.
"Due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding, we have decided to postpone the date," Lopez and Affleck said in a joint statement at the time. "When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate 'decoy brides' at three different locations, we realized that something was awry."
Despite going their separate ways for nearly 20 years, the stars made their way back to one another. In 2021, they got back together, and by July 2022 they were married in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas.
The couple had a larger celebration the following month in front of 135 friends and family at the Deep Water actor's 87-acre compound on Hampton Island Preserve in Georgia.
"We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient," Lopez wrote in her "On the JLo" newsletter following the first ceremony.
"When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another. We had that. And so much more," she continued, adding that it was the "best night of our lives."
Lopez was previously married to Ojani Noa from 1997-1998. After meeting Affleck, she split from her second husband Cris Judd, whom she married in 2001. She later wed Marc Anthony—the pair were together from 2004-2014—and share twins Emme and Max, 14.
In 2019, the "Love Don't Cost a Thing" singer got engaged to former Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez. During the COVID pandemic, the couple postponed their nuptials several times before officially parting ways for good in April 2021.
Affleck, meanwhile, wed Jennifer Garner in 2005 and they share three children together—daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10. They finalized their divorce in 2018.
