Fans noticed their body language was off during the NBA's 2021-22 regular season. They rarely held hands, and when they did, she led him around like a lost child.

Body language refers to a person's gestures or body position that communicates nonverbally with others.

Devin clearly knew who was in charge in the relationship. He didn't seem to mind Kendall taking the lead.

That may be because Devin was raised by an independent single mom in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Devin's father, who is Black, played professional basketball overseas. Little Devin visited his dad every summer in Europe where his father was playing.

When Devin's father retired from pro ball, his teenage son moved in with him in Mississippi where his father coached him at Moss Point High School.

The tension between Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith and Chris Rock began years before the A-list actor pimp slapped the stunned comedian in front of millions watching on national TV Sunday night.

The incident sparked debates online, as some viewers wondered if the slap was fake.

Analysts slowed down the video frame-by-frame and they claim Rock braced for the slap.

However, body language experts point to one huge clue that the slap was indeed real.

Body language expert Judi James told The Sun that Smith's initial response was a "subdued performed laughter" while Pinkett Smith's smile faded and her torso stiffened.

James said Smith's initial laughter was "subdued performed laughter" until he saw the distress on his wife's face and he reacted emotionally.

The body language expert said Rock didn't expect to be slapped by Smith.

She said: "His hands were clasped behind his back and he was laughing right up until the blow landed."

Pinkett Smith, 50, announced her struggle with hair loss in 2018. She had been the butt of Rock's jokes long before that.

While many say Smith was wrong for attacking the Oscar's presenter, insiders whisper that Pinkett Smith has "rejected [Rock's] sexual advances for years."

The bullying finally got to Smith and he put a stop to it in the only way bullies understand - through violence.

James claimed that Smith had a "smug" smile when returning to his seat after smacking the comic.

Will yelled: "Leave my wife's name out your f***ing mouth."

James said that Smith spewed profanity at Rock with "true anger" in his voice.

"Someone who works for the Oscars told me that Chris Rock was not interrupted by Will Smith at rehearsals yesterday," a source tells The Sun. "It was not supposed to happen. It was real."

Body Language 101: Kendall Jenner leads Devin Booker around like a child

Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker dined with friends, Justin and Hailey Bieber, at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, CA.

Twitter users noted Kendall and Devin's body language and concluded their relationship won't survive the test of time.

They say a real man would never allow a woman to take his hand and lead him around like a child.

Body language is the facial expression, gestures or body position that communicates nonverbally with others.

In these photos taken outside the restaurant, it is clear who is in charge in their relationship. Kendall exerts masculine dominance over the timid NBA superstar. It is easy to see that he is intimidated by her. She is in charge and he is just along for the ride — until she kicks him to the curb.

In this photo, Devin is slouching as he is being led around by his dominant partner.

Body language experts say slouching is a sign of apathy, lack of interest, and indifference. Devin clearly knows who is in charge. He doesn't mind allowing a woman to lead him.

In this closeup of their hands, Devin is holding one of her fingers. Body language experts say holding fingers only is a sign of a more casual relationship.

"It's more of a teaser testing type of relationship where both partners must have their own space and where neither of them want to be fully committed as [they're still] in an exploring state," Traci Brown tells Elite Daily.

She added: "There are, of course, signs of more dominance if your partner is cupping over your hand, or squeezing indicates they prefer to be always right and in charge."

Devin was raised by his single mom in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

His father, who is Black, played professional basketball overseas. Little Devin visited his dad every summer in Europe where his father was playing.

When Devin's father retired from pro ball, his teenage son moved in with him in Mississippi where his father coached him at Moss Point High School. By then it was too late for his father to influence his son's formative years.
