Ben Affleck spent Saturday having fun with his stepdaughter Emme in Santa Monica.
The 51-year-old Gone Girl actor and the 15-year-old budding star hit the town to shop and grab some food while keeping smiles on their faces the entire time.
Emme is one of the twins that actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, 53, had with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. Her brother Max was absent from the outing with Ben.
The On the Floor singer recently rekindled her longtime romance with the Good Will Hunting actor, and the couple tied the knot in July 2022.
Affleck and Emme dressed cozy and warm for their father-stepdaughter day.
Day out: Ben Affleck spent his Saturday having fun with his stepdaughter Emme
Lots of laughs: The 51-year-old Gone Girl actor and the 15-year-old hit the town to shop and grab some food while wearing smiles on their faces the entire time.
The Air director sported a black bomber jacket over a black hoodie and a white T-shirt underneath.
He kept himself further hidden from the sun with a pair of gray jeans and black and white high top sneakers.
The actor spent his time making Emme laugh as he waved his arms and made a funny face as she laughed along with him.
Emme, who has worked alongside her A-list mom before, looked comfortable in an oversized white hoodie and a pair of baggy jeans.
She amped up her look with a pair of white Converse sneakers, which appeared to have been drawn on with various different colored markers.
The aspiring actress wore her hair short and in tight curls around her face, which she kept free of makeup.
In his ears he had a pair of wired headphones connected to the phone in his hand, but he seemed totally in tune with the jokes Ben was making.
The duo first hit a used book store before heading to a thrift store, ending their outing with a meal at Jack in the Box.

During the day, both Ben and Emme acquired large paper bags, presumably filled with the things they collected.
Before marrying J-Lo, Ben was married to 13 Going on 30 actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018.
The two A-list actors share three children, Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.
Since rekindling his romance with J-Lo, 20 years after they were originally engaged but broke up just before their 2003 wedding, the couple have worked to bring their new family together.
While appearing for an interview in TODAY in January, he spoke about the process of integrating five children under one roof.
‘We moved in together. The children moved in together,” Lopez said. “It’s been kind of an emotional transition, but at the same time, all your dreams come true.”
They met on the set of the box office flop Gigli, where the two played gangsters who fall in love while trying to kidnap a neurodivergent man.
Ben and Jen hadn’t yet been burned by their impending box office flop when they reunited in 2002 to film Jersey Girl, which was released two years later.

He played a widower in the 2004 romantic comedy, while she had a supporting role as his character’s late wife. The film marked the beginning of the A-list couple’s tumultuous romance.
After postponing their impending nuptials due to “excessive media attention”, the couple stayed together for a few more months before confirming their separation in a statement issued in early 2004.
The then-former couple entered into long-term relationships with other stars, with the Waiting for Tonight singer marrying Marc Anthony and later getting engaged to former MLB player Alex Rodriguez.
Jennifer and Ben, better known as ‘Bennifer’, restarted their romance in May 2021 and were officially married the following summer.
