In the middle of a divorce, Ben Affleck treats himself to a rare father-son outing with Samuel, 12 years old

A sporting Sunday for the Affleck family. Ben Affleck and his 12-year-old son Samuel attended a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors on November 10, 2024 in Los Angeles. Laughter, applause, cries of encouragement… the duo thus offered a rare outing in public, while the 52-year-old actor is in the process of divorcing from Jennifer Lopez.

J-Lo stays in touch with Ben Affleck's children

Samuel is the fruit of the actor's first marriage to Jennifer Garner. The couple had two other children, Fin (15 years old) and Violet (16 years old). All had learned to live in a large blended family since the marriage of their father and Jennifer Lopez in 2022. They were also joined by the singer's children, Emme and Maximilian (16-year-old twins, whom she had with Marc Anthony).

Despite the recent separation of Ben Affleck and J-Lo, the latter seems to remain in touch with her stepchildren. This is in any case what a source told the American tabloid People on November 6. “She wants the kids to know they can always contact her if they need anything. His whole family loves them.” There is no doubt that the actor will also keep in touch with his stepchildren, since a “very strong and authentic bond” unites them. Ben Affleck would have notably “developed an exceptional bond with Max”, we read in a previous article in the Madame Figaro .
