Jennifer Lopez hilariously told a group of admirers of her husband Ben Affleck to “back off” after they ogled him as they drove by on Sunday.
The incident occurred after the celebrity couple left The Ivy restaurant after visiting the Hollywood flea market earlier in the day.
Cameramen on the sidewalk snapped photos and videos of the 54-year-old Let’s Get Loud hitmaker and the 51-year-old Batman star as they drove away in a black Rivian SUV.
After opening the door for his spouse, Affleck circled the vehicle and sat in the driver’s seat when high-pitched voices could be heard from a passing vehicle staring at the handsome “Changing Lanes” actor.
The commotion caught the attention of Lopez, who smiled as she shouted out to people who were yelling at her spouse as she said “Back off, bitch” – causing a group of fans to burst into laughter.

Sunday night’s outing marked the end of a busy weekend for the A-list couple, who are more than a year away from getting married in Las Vegas in July 2022, a month ahead of a wedding ceremony for family and friends at Affleck’s estate outside Savannah, Georgia.
Lopez is mother to twins Emme and Maximilian, 15, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55; while Affleck is father to three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51 – daughters Violet, 17, and Seraphina, 14, and son Samuel, 11.
On Saturday, the two formed a stylish duo at the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala presented by Gucci at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Lopez stunned in a semi-sheer gold dress as she arrived with Affleck, who wore a sleek black tuxedo.
The couple looked as happy as ever at the event as they cuddled up for a sweet photo inside the venue.
Figures from the arts, film, fashion and entertainment industries gathered at LACMA for the 12th annual Art+Film Gala honoring artist Judy Baca.
LACMA Trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio co-chaired the event for the 12th consecutive year.
Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward supporting LACMA’s initiative to further integrate film into the museum’s curatorial programming, while also funding LACMA’s broader mission.

The couple’s outing comes after Lopez revealed she feels more confident than ever thanks to Affleck.
When speaking to Vogue to promote her new Beso Balm from JLo Beauty, the Jenny From The Block singer said he pushes her to feel appreciated and she appreciates that.
“Ben wants me to understand my worth and know what worth I have,” the chart-topper began.
“I feel even more relaxed and comfortable, which makes me feel even more beautiful than I ever have with anyone else,” said the star, who was previously married to Anthony and engaged to Alex Rodriguez.
She added: “I’m finally at the point in my life where I love every part of me unapologetically.” Every part of me, my body, my voice, my decisions, even my mistakes. All of this has made me who I am and brought me to where I am today.’
Lopez has been busy these days launching her beauty line and alcoholic beverage Delola.
She also has the new album “This Is Me… Now” out and is currently finishing the film “Atlas,” about an AI soldier who finds that the only way to end the war is to destroy humanity finish.
