Ben Affleck looked in high spirits as he stepped out for ice cream with his youngest children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, in LA on Friday night.
The Good Will Hunting star was neatly dressed in khaki pants, a green button-down top and black and white Nike sneakers.
His children, born with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, are dressed more casually.
Seraphina opted for cargo shorts and an oversized grey sweater with “Farm Camp” printed in green, while Samuel wore grey sweats and a blue graphic t-shirt.
Affleck’s upbeat Friday night out was in stark contrast to the somber look he had on Thursday night, when he was spotted taking Seraphina to the movies with friends.
He seemed a little distracted at the time and was photographed fiddling with his mobile phone.
His Los Angeles outing this week comes after estranged wife Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding.
According to a Page Six source, the “On the Floor” hitmaker, 55, tried to repair her marriage but Affleck, 52, wasn’t interested, so she filed the lawsuit to protect herself on the special day.
“[Lopez]put her all into this song. Her heart and soul,” a source close to the singer told Page Six on Saturday. “She would have done anything to make this song a success.”
The source continued, “She was subjected to criticism and ridicule, with countless naysayers telling her it was a bad idea, that it was doomed to fail and that there was a reason it didn’t work the first time around.”
Page Six learned in May that the “Argo” star was ready to move on from his marriage, finally feeling “sane” and deciding their romance was over.
Earlier this month, another Hollywood source said Lopez felt “furious” and “humiliated” by Affleck because she was convinced her chance at love had finally come true.
“She was overstating that he was the love of her life, so he humiliated her,” the source explained, “They just had two weddings two years ago, which is kind of a record. They’re not young kids.”
The couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a formal ceremony with family and friends at Affleck’s Georgia home.
Twenty years after their engagement, they decided to get married again.
A Page Six source said Lopez is upset because it involves children.
The former couple did not have any children together, but raised five children together during their marriage.
In addition to Seraphina and Samuel, Affleck also has an 18-year-old daughter, Violet, with Garner.
Lopez has 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony.
The “Jersey Girl” star listed April 26 as the official date of her and Affleck’s separation.
She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation.
