Overview

  • Affleck began experiencing contractions while getting a manicure at a Utah nail salon and immediately documented them on TikTok.
  • In the video she timed her contractions, performed squats and received an impromptu cervical check on the salon floor.
  • The incident took place at full term of her third pregnancy with husband Zac Affleck, with whom she shares daughter Nora and son Lucas.
  • Earlier this year, the couple reconciled after a brief separation by focusing on therapy, a wellness retreat and ketamine-assisted sessions.
  • She later joked about being glad to have fresh nails before delivery and headed straight to the hospital after the salon episode.
