Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appeared to be having a heated row as they shopped for expensive jewellery.

The couple are currently holidaying in St Bart’s and were spotted indulging in a spot of retail therapy on Saturday as they stepped out to the high end boutiques in the capital of Gustavia. The duo were seen shopping for expensive items from Bulgari with Jennifer, 54, trying on key pieces while Ben, 51, took photos of her wearing them.

However, at one point the trip appeared to become too much as Ben looked stressed out and anxious, throwing his hands in the air as he had a heated exchange with a tense looking Jennifer. The tension didn’t appear to last long however as they were quickly seen posing for selfies together and kissing one another on the lips.

Jennifer tried on both an elaborate necklace and a pair of earrings while Ben took snaps of her on his phone. She then posed in a striking jewel-encrusted choker from Bulgari’s Cinemagia high jewellery collection. Ben again snapped his wife as she showed off the piece in a mirror.

Jen looked effortlessly stunning for the trip wearing a white bra-let crop top teamed with a pale pink and white striped maxi skirt for the outing. She wore her trademark highlighted hair loose and flowing over her shoulders and added a pair of large pink-toned aviator sunglasses to her look.

Jennifer also accessorised with a petite pale pink quilted Chanel bag as she cuddled up to Ben who was dressed in a sage green jumper layered over a white t-shirt and pale beige chinos. The actor also wore a pair of purple and white Jordan’s sneakers on his feet.

The outing comes after the couple celebrated Christmas with their friends and family at their home. They threw a holiday party with A-List names including Margot Robbie and Michael B. Jordan turning up to celebrate with them. The bash saw them decorate their home with a lavish festive theme.

A video posted to social media from the event saw Jennifer dressed in a glittering green gown while singing Jingle Bells. A live band was beside her for the performance as guests watched with glittering decorations seen throughout the room.

Guests at the bash were encouraged to sing Christmas Carols with Jennifer leading the way. A source meanwhile told PEOPLE that both Jennifer’s twins with her ex Marc Anthony – 15-year-old twins Emme and Max – and Ben Affleck’s daughter with ex Jennifer Garner, Violet, 18, were all seen having a fabulous time. They said: “The kids were all there dancing and having a great time, especially the twins and Violet.”

Other celebrities at the party included Ben’s brother Casey Affleck, Jennifer Lewis, Lily Rabe, and Jennifer’s manager Benny Medina. Jen and Ben have been married for just over a year after reconciling their relationship almost 20 years after they first split.

They initially called off their engagement in 2004, both going on to marry other people, before reigniting their romance during the pandemic and eventually tying the knot in Las Vegas last summer, with a second ceremony held at Ben’s Georgia estate a month later.
