Fans Joke That Ben Affleck Looks Like “He’d Rather Be at Dunkin’” Than the Grammys

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attended the 2023 Grammy Awards—on a date.

Lopez and Affleck made their first appearance as a married couple at the Grammys on February 5, 2023. The couple, dubbed Bennifer, began dating in the early 2000s, got engaged in 2003, and divorced in 2004. They went on to reunite almost 20 years later and finally tried the knot in 2022.

The couple was conspicuously absent from the red carpet at the event in Los Angeles. They were later photographed cuddling up inside the Crypto.com Arena at their assigned table, reports TODAY. The awards show was the same one where Lopez made fashion history in 2000 by wearing her now-iconic green Versace gown.

While Lopez, who presented Harry Styles with the best pop vocal album award early in the show, looked stunning in a Gucci gown and Bulgari jewelry, many on social media joked that Affleck looked like he would rather be at his favorite coffee shop, Dunkin' Donuts. 

The jokes were all about Affleck's love for the coffee and donuts chain. Affleck, who is originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been photographed holding a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee several times over the years. In 2019, the actor revealed to Collider that he drinks Dunkin' Donuts coffee every day. "It's amazing! I have Dunkin Donuts every day. It’s very weird, I have it every day and people are always like, 'Where is that? Is that near here?' So, I feel like I’m spreading the word," he said. 

There were multiple tweets teasing Affleck for his love for Dunkin'. Twitter user @lanikaps said, "Someone get Ben Affleck a cigarette and a Dunkin coffee stat."

"Can we get Ben some Dunkin'," @goodmanw tweeted. @radicalxrad added, "Ben Affleck wants to be at home with a Dunkin' coffee so bad."

"We got Bennifer on the #Grammys audience cam and tbh I expected to see a double-cupped large iced regular Dunkin on the table," @DeliaMary tweeted. "Maybe J-Lo made him put it on the floor or leave it in the limo? No way Ben Affleck is getting through this day w/o dunkies."

The comments continued to roll in about Ben and Dunkin'.

Meanwhile, Lopez and Affleck shared a table with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his wife, Lauren Hashian, at the awards ceremony. Hosted by comedian and former Daily Show host, Trevor Noah, the 2023 Grammys were broadcast live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
