A seat filler tasked with sitting next to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the 2023 Grammy Awards is speaking out about their experience and revealed that Bennifer were (a) super cute all night and (b) fully knew Ben’s anguished facial expressions were being memed.
“J.Lo 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 seat filler, who goes by @AlmostAnnna on TikTok, explained. “Like, he knew during the performance that he was a meme. Like, he knew, and he also chose just not to change his expression. 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.’”
@AlmostAnnna went on to say that J.Lo and Ben were “super lovey-dovey—like, their hands were always intertwined. Like, 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. They were cute.”
Oh, and apparently, “also, they left early and Ben, like, took the skirt of her dress and lifted it up too much and J.Lo was like, ‘Honey!’”
Kay, on that amazing note, excuse me while I go look into how I can become a seat filler for the 2024 Grammys. Bye!
