Ben Affleck has been in quite the shopping mood. The 52-year-old has been spotted running errands with his kids, and they recently hit up a Michaels, with Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. Hopefully shopping for fun fall decor for his new mansion.
The soon-to-be divorced dad recently made headlines after he was spotted with a dark beard, which some suspect he dyed. But his hair looks all-natural, rocking the salt and pepper look flawlessly. They arrived in style in Ben's sleek BMW i7, and he charged it in the parking lot.
Another teenager who looked like they were Fin's friend was also in the group. The only child missing that he shares with Jennifer Garner was Violet, 18, as she recently started her first year at Yale.
His outings with his children come amid an insider who told People that JLo, who made a speech over the weekend at the American Music Awards, helped Ben “become a family man again" while they were still together.
A difficult period
Ben's family is in the middle of a transitional period as his divorce from Jennifer Lopez continues. Lopez's twins, Emme and Max, who she shares with Marc Anthony, grew very close to Affleck's children, especially Emme and Fin.
The former couple had fans wondering if they were reconciling after a blended family brunch that reportedly had some smooching, but they are still moving forward with the divorce. They have been meditating with famed celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser, and since there is reportedly no prenup, per Califonia law, whatever earnings or profit they made the last two years are community property. So - anything after they eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.
TMZ notes that Affleck's production company, Artists Equity, which he founded with Matt Damon in November 2022, is one of the topics of discussion as they have to "agree on what, if anything," the singer gets from future projects the company produces.
