Ben Affleck plays basketball with son Samuel, 11, in Los Angeles

Ben Affleck spends quality time with his mini-me son Samuel, 11, as they shoot hoops at a park in Los Angeles

Ben Affleck was in dad mode on Saturday, as he took his son Samuel to play basketball and for a cruise in his custom electric Ford Bronco.

The Air star, 50, sported a navy t-shirt for the occasion, along with dark jeans and a pair of red, black and white Nike sneakers as he showed off his skills at a park in Los Angeles.

The actor — who recently gushed about how his wife Jennifer Lopez ‘eats whatever she wants’ and still looks great — looked every inch the proud dad as he watched his 11-year-old shoot hoops.

Samuel was also dressed sporty for the occasion, wearing a blue t-shirt, basketball shorts and sneakers. 

Affleck shares Samuel as well as daughters Violet Affleck, 17, and Seraphina Affleck, 14, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51.

He is also a stepdad to Lopez’s twins Emme and Max, 15, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 54. 

Affleck recently talked up his new wife during a chat via video with Drew Barrymore for her talk show.

The Air director said that the 53-year-old Mother actress can eat whatever she wants and still look great.

And the Oscar winner went into specifics.

‘Let me tell you something that’s gonna upset you. Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. She eats cookies, ice cream, everything,’ he began.

Drew asked if all that exercise keeps JLO thin. ‘She works out. I work out too but I don’t magically appear to be twenty years old, you know what I mean, with perfect skin and the whole thing,’ he joked.

‘There’s no taking away of the work ethic, the work ethic is real, the discipline is real, but also the superhuman thing is real. She’s the most gorgeous woman in the world, she looks spectacular.’

And when asked what JLo would want to change about him he said probably how he talks a lot.

‘She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I go on and on and on. I talk in circles. She’s never said that to me but that would be my guess.’

Drew then asked, ‘When was the last time you went skinny dipping?’

To which Ben replied: ‘This is gonna turn into a different kind of story. My wife and I went on a little vacation recently, we went in the pool, I don’t know if that counts as skinny dipping. It wasn’t like eighties college movie.’

‘Were you naked?’ the host inquired. 

‘We were naked in the pool yeah.’

Affleck married the singer in a breathtaking Georgia ceremony at their $8.9m ‘plantation’ estate in August of 2022.

The nuptials followed a secret, small-scale Las Vegas wedding on July 16. All of the couple’s children were at the wedding, making it a blended family affair.

The pair’s happy reunion came 20 years after they first dated and got engaged, only to call-off their wedding in fall 2003, blaming excessive media attention.
