Ben Affleck is every inch the doting dad as he holds hands with son Samuel in Brentwood

Ben Affleck was seen running errands with his only son, Samuel, in Brentwood on Friday afternoon.

The 49-year-old performer notably held the hand of his child, aged ten, as they spent time strolling along the sidewalk together.

The Argo director shares Samuel, as well as daughters Violet and Seraphina, aged 16 and 12, with his former wife, Jennifer Garner.

Affleck kept it very casual during his outing, as he wore a graphic-printed t-shirt on top of a pair of blue jeans and multicolored sneakers. 

Meanwhile Garner was spotted enjoying a hot beverage while taking a phone call in Brentwood this morning.

The actress looked cozy wearing a white jacket, black leggings and blue sneakers. 

The performer and his former spouse, 49, initially met in the early 2000s while working on Pearl Harbor, in which they costarred.

The pair went on to share the screen in Daredevil, which was released in 2003, and they began dating the following year.

Garner was previously married to Scott Foley, although they separated and divorced before she started seeing her now-ex-husband.

Affleck and the actress moved quickly with their relationship, as they tied the knot during a wedding ceremony that was held in 2005.

The two started a family that same year with Violet’s birth, and they went on to welcome Seraphina and Samuel in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

However, the performers announced that they had separated in 2015, and they finalized their divorce three years later.

Affleck went on to begin a relationship with his Deep Water costar Ana de Armas, although they broke up last year.

The actor later rekindled his romance with Jennifer Lopez, whom he had previously dated in the early 2000s.

The two were previously engaged, although they called off their wedding just days before it was set to occur in 2004.

The hitmaker, 52, later began a relationship with singer Marc Anthony, whom she married in 2004.

Lopez and her former husband welcomed a pair of twins named Emme and Maximilian, aged 13, in 2008 before they separated and divorced in 2014.

The singer and Affleck sparked reconciliation rumors when they began being spotted in each other’s company last April, and they went Instagram official last July.

An insider recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight and told the media outlet that the pair’s respective families were doing well with each other.

The insider went on to state that many of the pair’s loved ones expected them to take their romance to the next level in the near future.
