Affleck used emphasis with his hands while Lopez quietly sat in the passenger seat. The actors were reportedly so consumed by their conversation while in traffic that they did not realize they would be photographed.

This video and one of Affleck's seen roughly closing the door for his wife led many internet users to speculate that there might be trouble in paradise. Fans jumped to the conclusion that divorce might be underway for the couple. "Oh, oh, things not looking good for the Ben & Jlo" said a commenter.

One commenter said it was typical for celebrities to throw in the towel easily in matters of marriage and divorce and speculated that Affleck treated Garner better than Lopez. However, the user still believed divorce should be the last resort. Fans believe the "Gone Girl" star will always be connected to his ex-wife.
