Ben Affleck and his son Samuel shared a sweet father-son moment while stepping out together in Los Angeles, enjoying a relaxed stroll during golden hour.
The actor was spotted walking through a quiet driveway area with 13-year-old Samuel by his side, iced coffee in hand, as the pair kept things casual and low-key. The outing offered a glimpse into Affleck’s off-duty style and his easygoing bond with his youngest son.
For the afternoon walk, Affleck opted for classic, understated layering. He wore a taupe overcoat layered over an olive green button-down shirt, paired with light beige pants and sturdy brown lace-up boots. The neutral color palette gave his look a timeless, effortless feel that fit the laid-back moment.
Samuel, meanwhile, embraced a sporty aesthetic. He wore a black Nike T-shirt, navy jogger pants, and white sneakers, keeping his look simple, comfortable, and age-appropriate. Walking slightly ahead of his dad, Samuel mirrored the casual vibe with an outfit made for an easy afternoon outing.

Rather than indulging the splurge, Affleck jokingly told his son, “That’s a lot of lawns you’ve gotta mow,” adding that Samuel likely only liked the shoes because they were expensive.

Speaking about the moment at the SXSW premiere of ‘The Accountant 2,’ Affleck later revealed that once Samuel realized the sneakers would require actual work, his interest quickly disappeared.

The easygoing outing with Samuel also aligns with what Affleck has recently shared about the place he’s in personally and professionally. The actor opened up in a cover story with GQ about his family life and the strong co-parenting relationship he maintains with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares Violet, Fin, and Samuel.

From setting realistic expectations about money to enjoying low-key neighborhood walks, Affleck continues to show that, despite his fame, his priorities remain rooted in showing up for his kids.
