Ben Affleck stepped out for a lowkey outing with his two eldest children Violet and Fin in Los Angeles this week.
The Oscar winner, 52 – who recently attended the SXSW premiere of his upcoming action thriller The Accountant 2 – spent quality time with the Yale student, 19, and Fin, 16, for a relaxing stroll.
He shares the teenagers, as well as son Samuel, 13, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – whom he sparked rekindled romance rumors with earlier this month after he was seen hugging the actress while celebrating their son’s birthday.
Affleck kept it casual wearing a blue ʙuттon up which was paired with a pair of khaki pants and a dark navy cardigan.
He additionally opted for a white shirt underneath and slipped into a pair of comfy sneakers for a finishing touch.
Ben was seen walking alongside Violet who affectionately draped her arm over his shoulders as they got a bit of fresh air.

The duo were also joined by Fin and the group was seen heading towards their next destination for the outing.
Affleck has been keeping busy and last weekend the star attended the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas for the screening of his movie The Accountant 2.
The action thriller – which is a sequel to the 2016 film – is slated to hit theaters next month on April 26.
Along with Ben, other stars that have been cast in the project include Jon Bernthal, Danielle Pineda, J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.
The premise is: ‘Christian Wolff (Affleck) applies his brilliant mind and illegal methods to reconstruct the unsolved puzzle of a Treasury chief’s murder,’ per IMDB.
Matt Damon – who was one of the producers on the action thriller – also supported his former Good Will Hunting co-star at the premiere.
While on the red carpet, Ben opened up about his friendship with Damon and working with the star during an interview with People.
‘It’s a beautiful thing. You know, I don’t have very many – none of us really have many friends. You don’t need a million friends,’ he expressed to the outlet.

‘You need a few good ones. And I’m really lucky to have had a friend in Matt. I’m lucky to have friends like that in my life.’
His appearance at the star-studded event also came shortly after he was seen hugging his ex-wife Jennifer Garner during a paintball session as they celebrated their son Samuel’s 13th birthday.

The former couple tied the knot in 2005 but their divorce was finalized in 2018.
Ben later married Jennifer Lopez in 2022 but she notably filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary in August 2024.
Earlier this year in January, their divorce was settled but he wasn’t declared legally single until last month on February 21 when the marriage was legally dissolved.
Both Affleck and Garner were also seen arriving to the paintball park near Los Angeles – and the actor flashed a big smile while he conversed with the 13 Going On 30 actress.
The two stars embracing during the outing soon sent the internet into a frenzy – and a source informed DailyMail.com how Garner feels about ‘rekindling’ her romance with Ben.
The mother-of-three is currently in a relationship with John Miller, and the couple were recently spotted spending time together after the paintball excursion with her ex.

The insider stated that she is ‘deathly afraid of falling back in love’ with Affleck and has ‘trust issues’ when it comes to the actor. The pair divorced after Affleck reportedly had an affair with their children’s nanny Christine Ouzounian.
‘She loves Ben but is worried that he will crush her all over again,’ the source continued.
‘She doesn’t want to heal another broken heart because it is just too much drama, plus she does not want their kids to see round two of their mom in a bad place with their dad. So much could go wrong if they reunite.’
Another insider told DailyMail.com that Ben wants to possibly make a movie with Garner – after working together on Pearl Harbor (2001) and Daredevil (2003).
‘Ben has so many ideas popping in his head, he feels like he knows just what to do with her.
‘He feels that her true talents have not been brought to light and he is just the producer who can find her the right material. She can do both drama and comedy so he feels there are a lot of opportunities for her skills,’ the source said.
Following her hug with Ben, another insider informed Page Six this month that her boyfriend John Miller has issued her an ‘ultimatum.’

‘John knows there’s nothing going on between Jen and Ben, but he doesn’t think those pH๏τos are a good look and feels it’s disrespectful to their relationship.’
The source added that the businessman ‘gave Jen an ultimatum – he doesn’t want to see anything like that again or he has no choice but to walk away.’
And a separate insider told DailyMail.com that Miller had also been a bit bothered by Jennifer and Ben ‘being touchy-feely.’
They further expressed, ‘It would get to anyone, but this is nothing new. Ben and Jen have a unique relationship, especially for exes.’
However, it seems all is well between John and Garner as the pair were recently spotted this week on a date at Brentwood Country Mart in L.A.

The couple – who began dating in 2018 – were seen ‘holding hands and kissing’ and were also ‘very cute with one another.’
A source told DailyMail.com, ‘They are still going strong and appear to be doing really well.
‘They looked happy and at ease like they were a married couple that is thriving. They laughed and smiled at each other. Very cute.
‘Both were dressed casually and she had no makeup on, her hair down. He had on a coat and jeans.’
