Ben Affleck could be seen enjoying a bonding moment with his son Samuel as they celebrated the little boy’s 12th birthday.
The 51-year-old movie star shares Samuel and his daughters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, with his first wife Jennifer Garner.
Samuel was still wearing his basketball uniform on his birthday when he met his father, who sweetly carried his ball for him as they strolled down the sidewalk.
He also brought a wrapped gift for Samuel, which he balanced on one forearm while carrying a bottle of water in his hand.
To battle the February chill in a thick black coat, Ben modeled a sky blue T-shirt and donned khaki pants.

Ben and his ex-wife, who are known for their warm co-parenting relationship, were also spotted this week reuniting and having a warm chat.
During a solo coffee session, Ben appeared cheerful, grinning as he crossed the street wearing a hoodie.
On the romantic front, Jennifer is currently in a long-term relationship with a man named John Miller, while Ben is married to his young flame Jennifer Lopez.
To complete the blended family, J-Lo is raising 16-year-old twins named Max and Emme, whom she shares with her third ex-husband Marc Anthony.
A source recently told DailyMail.com that the J-Lo marriage helped Ben and his ex-wife “get to a better place” in their own situation.
‘Ben is healthy. The past drama and emotions of divorce are long gone and they’re all making it work,” the insider explains.
Ben’s two wives are apparently “friendly” with each other, and all the children in the blended family are said to “love each other.”
The source shared, “It’s a really happy co-parenting situation. Everything is really good now and should be the same in the near and distant future.’

An earlier article on the British website Closer online claimed J-Lo was “blindsided” and “furious” upon seeing photos of Ben and his ex-wife looking friendly.
Meanwhile, it was claimed that at this point, Ben said that Jennifer is just like his sister, and if J-Lo gets jealous and throws tantrums over an innocent hug, then the problem is hers. This is a real war of attrition that threatens to explode.’
However, an insider assured DailyMail.com that Ben and J-Lo were “very much in love with each other” and that rumors of marital tension were false.
‘Their relationship is still on fire. They are very happy with each other, and there is no drama at all in their relationship at the moment.’
