KEY POINTS

  • Ben Affleck spent time with daughter Violet and son Samuel in California
  • His other daughter, Seraphina, was not able to join them for the outing
  • Jennifer Garner was in Massachusetts that day accepting an award

Ben Affleck enjoyed some downtime with his kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner over the weekend.

On Saturday, the 49-year-old Hollywood actor was spotted doing some shopping with Garner’s mini-me, Violet, 16, and 9-year-old son Samuel at Brentwood Farmers’ Market in California.

In the photos exclusively obtained by Daily Mail, the trio masked up for protection against the coronavirus while splurging on some goods at the market. One snap showed Affleck affectionately wrapping his arm around his eldest child’s shoulders while carrying bags in his other hand. Little Samuel kept pace by walking beside them.

For the outing, Affleck donned a gray button-down shirt and jacket. He also wore black pants and matching shoes, as well as a pair of dark shades for the sunny afternoon.

Violet channeled her 49-year-old mom by sporting a black-and-white striped long-sleeve shirt and a black maxi skirt. She paired the outfit with white shoes and amber shades.

As for Affleck and Garner’s youngest child, Samuel rocked a gray T-shirt printed with the words “Westside Aquatics,” camo pants and blue shoes. Violet and Samuel wore the same salmon-colored face masks, while Affleck put on a black mask.

It was not clear why Affleck’s other daughter, 13-year-old Seraphina, was not able to join them on the outing.

While the trio spent some time at the farmers’ market, Garner was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, receiving Hasty Pudding Theatrical’s Woman of the Year award in Harvard Square, Boston.com reported.

The “13 Going on 30” star was all smiles as she waved to the hundreds of spectators gathered for the parade before the event hosted by the third-oldest theater group in the world.

Former recipients of the award included Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Cher, Ethel Merman and last year’s awardee, Viola Davis.

Meanwhile, a day before taking on daddy duties, Affleck looked cozy when he stepped out in the rain in New York City with his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, 52.

Lopez is currently busy promoting her new movie with Owen Wilson, “Marry Me,” in the Big Apple. Affleck decided to show his support to the singer-actress by being there for her after her working engagements that day, according to Elle.
