On November 1, 2024, Ben Affleck was seen out in Los Angeles on a shopping trip with his son, Samuel Affleck. Netizens who viewed images and footage of the 12-year-old boy had plenty to say.

Paparazzi captured photos and videos of Ben bonding with his son, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The pair were filmed while walking, at one point with the actor’s arm around his son’s shoulders, during a shopping trip at BAPE, an upscale boutique. Images also showed close-ups of Samuel after he and his father visited another store.

One social media user who saw some of the images focused on Samuel’s looks, saying, “Isn’t Samuel is the most good looking male star kid😍😍😍😍. [sic]” Another person commented, “Lil Sam he’s so cute 🥰.”

Focusing on the father-son duo, a third Instagram user remarked, “They are so cute👨‍👦❤️.” A YouTube user described the outing as “Father and son time,” while another person, touched by Ben’s bonding gesture, called him “[A] great actor and father.”

Commenting on the actor’s appearance, another YouTuber described him as “handsome Ben.” Yet, another viewer remarked, “He seems to be seething with anger.” Laughing, one Instagram user noted, “Paparazzi get on ben nerves. [sic]”

Another individual observed, “He looks frustrated as usual.” On X, someone shared images of the actor inside the BAPE store in Melrose, where he and Samuel were seen browsing the clothing racks.

For the outing, the “Batman” star wore a cream-colored button-up shirt, black jeans, and complementary Nike sneakers. His sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Zion Williamson Voodoo, cost over $430. He also sported a full beard.

Samuel matched his father in a white Nike Sportswear Club men’s T-shirt, priced at around $30. He paired it with blue jeans and completed his look with $1,727 Nike x Travis Scott SB Dunk Low sneakers.

Besides Samuel, Ben is also a parent to his eldest, Violet, and middle child, Fin, with Jennifer. In July 2023, like her younger brother, Violet spent time shopping in the Hamptons with her father and his now ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez.

The previous week, the eldest Affleck child went shopping in Los Angeles with her mother. The pair dressed casually, with the actress wearing a black sweater top and matching biker shorts.

Her daughter opted for a polka dot maxi dress, and both chose comfortable sneakers. Ben’s eldest was later spotted alongside him, resembling her mother closely, during the 2023 Hamptons Fourth of July celebration hosted by Michael Rubin.

The 17-year-old appeared in images posted on Instagram by the billionaire entrepreneur. At that event, the father-daughter duo was joined once again by Ben’s now ex-wife. Observing her resemblance to her mother, an X user noted, “She looks so much like her mom,” while another commented, “Violet looks so much like her mom.”

Agreeing with the previous remarks, someone else added, “Unrelated sort of, but isn’t she so much like her mother!”

For the All-White party, Violet wore a face mask and a lovely white outfit, featuring a white halter maxi dress, tan sandals, and clear-framed glasses, with her hair styled in pigtails. Ben sported a white T-shirt, cream linen blazer, white pants, and matching Nike sneakers.

His ex-wife wore a white gown with a bow detail and a waist cutout. As Ben’s children continue toward adulthood, they are likely to make more public and red-carpet appearances, which will thrill fans.
