Ben Affleck Looked Very Happy Spending Time With His Children In LA
Ben Affleck had a nice family day with his and Jennifer Garner’s kids, Violet and Seraphina, at Kaz The Soba Place, and for the first time in a while, he was smiling in a paparazzi picture. Ben and his children shared some ramen and appeared to be having a great time with some friends.
Ben Affleck’s rarely-seen smile flashed at one point when his daughter Violet, who just graduated from high school and will be leaving for college soon, wrapped her arm around his shoulder as they talked.
Judging by the looks the actor and his children spotted, it was a very casual outing. Jennifer Lopez was not with them, as she was staying in New York City, seemingly getting ready for her Fourth of July celebrations, as she posted on social media about being in a “Long weekend mood…”
Ben Affleck most likely didn’t notice his picture was being taken and that’s why he looked so happy and relaxed, as he said he gets very self-conscious when he knows there’s a camera in front of him.
His relaxed mood might also be related to finally moving out of his and J. Lo’s house. The actor quietly moved his belongings from the house while Jennifer Lopez was in Europe.

Matt Damon was worried about Ben Affleck when he and Jennifer Lopez first got back together.
“I’m also a little bit shy,” Ben Affleck explained. “I also don’t like a lot of attention. That’s why people see me, and they’re like, ‘Why’s this dude always mad?’ Because somebody has their camera and sticks it in my face and I’m like, ‘OK, here we go.'”
While it might just be his expression when he's shy, there are a few moments when he's actually angry.
"Also, because I'm with my kids and they're taking my picture," he added. "Actually, what I'd like to do is much more definitive than just look at you like this. I don't mind, you can take my picture at a club or a premiere, with my wife, I don't give a f**k. Knock yourself out. I don't notice you. But with my children that's a different thing."
