Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attended the annual 4th of July white party hosted by sports merchandise billionaire Michael Rubin. The star-studded event, held at Rubin's lavish $50 million Bridgehampton estate, saw celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Tom Brady, Lori Harvey, and Kylian Mbappe in attendance. The guests were treated to performances by Usher and Ne-Yo, along with exquisite food and drinks. Private helicopters brought them from the city to the exclusive party.
Jennifer made a striking entrance in a white maxi dress with a pleated bottom half and a cut-out just above her navel, showcasing her toned abs. She was seen closely following Affleck and her 17-year-old step-daughter Violet, and despite their outwardly happy demeanor, some photographs from the night captured a moment where Jennifer appeared serious and focused while emerging from her mode of transport.
'Tension' between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Body language expert Judi James analyzed their interactions, noting that "Ben seems to have adopted nonchalance as his go-to body language look, despite being married to one of the world’s most desirable women. Jennifer’s almost bridal arrival here in sensational wafting white with an entourage sweeping her in majestically looks out of kilter with the way Ben throws a backward glance as she emerges from her car, keeping both hands stuffed into his trouser pockets as though kicking his heels while his wife finishes the weekly shop at Aldi," Judi added, as per Mirror.

'The hint of tension is still there!'
"There is even a slither of power-play in the way that Ben waits for his wife to be led up to join him rather than performing an act of convenience to signal her status by walking out towards her car to receive her. There is an initial look of tension from Jennifer’s body language as she is led up to the driveway, with a stern-looking eye expression and the hint of a frown." claimed the expert about the duo's equation.

"She is quick to extend her hand to instigate a hand clasp with Ben, suggesting she is keen to register and define them as a couple. Their fingers entwine to show closeness although the hint of tension is still there in the way Jennifer’s thumb is still rigidly cocked rather than relaxed into the clasp," she concluded. Judi's analysis of the pair comes after reports suggest that Jennifer and Affleck's honeymoon phase might be coming to an end, as they have been spotted having several seemingly tense exchanges.
