Ben Affleck was recently spotted spending quality time with his children, Seraphina and Samuel, as the actor navigates his ongoing divorce from Jennifer Lopez. On September 6, 2024, the Air director was photographed walking through the streets of Los Angeles with his kids, heading to lunch.
Dressed casually, Affleck appeared relaxed, focusing on family despite the high-profile breakup. According to Page Six, The actor’s outing came just days after he notably skipped the premiere of Unstoppable, a film featuring his soon-to-be ex-wife, Lopez. The movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where Lopez made a striking appearance.
The Marry Me actress, who has long been a red-carpet sensation, dazzled in a sparkling silver Tamara Ralph dress paired with Dolce & Gabbana’s glass sandals, stealing the spotlight at the star-studded event. Lopez’s attendance at TIFF marked her first major public appearance since filing for divorce from Affleck on August 20, 2024. While the 55-year-old actress appeared in full form at the festival, Affleck’s absence raised questions.
The couple’s relationship had been subject to speculation for months, with reports suggesting unresolved issues had taken a toll on their marriage. Despite their personal struggles, Affleck’s recent family outing shows his commitment to maintaining a strong bond with his children. The actor has always been vocal about prioritizing his role as a father, even amid the turbulence of his personal life.

The public will undoubtedly continue to watch as Affleck and Lopez navigate their divorce and the next chapters of their lives. For now, Affleck’s quiet outings with his children suggest he’s keeping his family close as he works through this difficult time.
