Ben Affleck Shines as a Stylish Dad, Treats Son to New Golf Club Post-Lopez Shopping Spree
BEN AFFLECK'S FAMILY FUN DAY: EX-STAR ENJOYS GOLF OUTING WITH SON SAMUEL, ONE WEEK AFTER JENNIFER LOPEZ TREATED TEEN TO LUXURY SHOPPING SPREE
It looks like Ben Affleck is embracing his new life as a single dad! The 53-year-old Oscar winner was spotted having a blast with his youngest child, Samuel, 13, at the Roger Dunn Golf Shop in Los Angeles on Saturday. But what's really got tongues wagging is that this outing comes just one week after Jennifer Lopez treated the teen to a luxurious shopping spree in Beverly Hills.
And it seems like Affleck is supporting his son's newfound passion for golf - despite not being an avid player himself! The actor was seen leaving the golf shop with a big smile on his face, wearing multiple layers of stylish but relaxed attire. He rocked a white T-shirt beneath a button-down shirt and topped it off with a sage green camp shirt. And don't even get us started on those bright white sneakers - they're the perfect accessory to any golfer's wardrobe!
Samuel, on the other hand, looked like he was ready to hit the greens in his navy blue golf shirt and tan khakis. And we can't help but notice that he had a shiny new golf club tucked under his arm - perhaps a gift from his dad? The teen seemed to be having the time of his life, and who can blame him? After all, spending quality time with your parents is always a treat.
But let's get back to Ben and Jennifer - their love story has been one for the ages. The couple tied the knot in 2022 but announced their split just eight months later. And while they may not be together anymore, it's clear that Jennifer still maintains a close bond with Affleck's kids. In fact, the "On the Floor" songstress was spotted taking Samuel on a shopping spree last week, treating him to a luxury shopping experience like no other.
The two were seen strolling through an indoor shopping area before stopping by one of the high-end stores. And when they left, Samuel had his arms laden with bags - including a shiny new Balenciaga purchase! It's clear that Jennifer is still very much involved in her stepchildren's lives, and we can't help but wonder if Ben and Jennifer will ever rekindle their romance.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this year, Affleck gushed about his ex-wife's relationship with his kids. "For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them," he said. And we have to agree - she does seem like a wonderful stepmom!
But what's really got us talking is that Ben and Jennifer's divorce was finalized in January of this year after she filed for split in August 2024 on their second wedding anniversary. Talk about a messy breakup! But despite all the drama, it seems like they're both still committed to co-parenting and giving their kids the best possible life.
And speaking of Ben's projects - have you seen the trailer for his latest collaboration with Matt Damon? The two star in "The Rip," a tense drama about two Miami-Dade cops who develop a deadly distrust for each other after discovering millions of dollars in cash. It looks like it's going to be a wild ride!
But that's not all - Ben and Matt also serve as producers on the film, which is set to hit Netflix on January 16, 2026. And if you're a fan of Jennifer Lopez, you'll love this too: she starred in "Kiss of the Spider Woman," a musical produced by none other than Ben and Matt's Artists Equity company.
The musical was scheduled to open in theaters on October 10, but we can't help but wonder if it will be a strong contender for awards season. After all, Jennifer Lopez is known for her incredible performances - and "Kiss of the Spider Woman" promises to be no exception!
So there you have it - Ben Affleck's family fun day with Samuel, complete with golfing gear and luxury shopping sprees. And who knows? Maybe we'll see a reunion between Ben and Jennifer in the near future. After all, as they say: "you can't keep a good man down!"
