Ben Affleck Is Seemingly Focusing on His Kids Amid Rumored Jennifer Lopez Split

Ben Affleck has been embracing his dad side lately. Rumors continue to swirl about his alleged split with wife Jennifer Lopez, but he seemed unbothered as he spent time alone with his kids this weekend.

Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, who Affleck shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, joined their dad at a restaurant in Los Angeles on Sunday, per Daily Mail. In photos obtained by the outlet, the family looked relaxed as they dined together. The Argo star wore a gray t-shirt and jeans as he played cards at an outside table with his kids. Samuel wore a t-shirt and plaid pajama bottoms, Seraphina wore green cargo shorts and a blue sweater, and Violet had on a black skirt and a black cardigan covered with colorful butterflies.

On Monday, Affleck showed up solo to his daughter Violet’s graduation party. The Small Things Like These executive producer wore a tan blazer over a white button down shirt and jeans in photos obtained Daily Mail. He was, notably, wearing his wedding ring.

Last week, he missed Lopez’s Atlas movie premiere, which happened at the same night as Violet’s graduation ceremony. He attended with Garner, per Page Six. However, a source told Us Weekly that Affleck moved out of their $60 million Beverly Hills home “several weeks ago,” as he’s been photographed at a Brentwood property.

On May 16, J. Lo and Affleck were photographed together attending Seraphina’s school play, in photos obtained by In Touch Weekly. The “On the Floor” singer brought her 16-year-old child Emme with her, who was “super excited” to see her stepsister, according to an insider.

A source told In Touch, “Nothing would have stopped them coming together for the kids. All the marriage drama comes second. They are putting on a united front. Jen showed up with Emme to support Fin. Emme’s super attached to Fin, so it’s only natural that Jen, no matter what she’s going through with Ben, was there.”

The A-list couple is putting their kids and family first, no matter what is going on in their relationship, which is admirable!
