Ben Affleck continues to shake off rumors that his marriage to Jennifer Lopez is on the rocks.
The Argo star, 51, was all smiles as he spent time with his 12-year-old son Samuel in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.
Affleck pulled the young boy’s heavy rolling backpack as they walked down the sidewalk together.
He was dressed in jeans and a blue sweater, which he later took off to reveal a tight white T-shirt.
Affleck shares Samuel – as well as 15-year-old Finn and 18-year-old Violet – with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
Affleck lives in a $100,000-a-month mansion in Brentwood, just two blocks from Garner, amid the split speculation about Lopez.

Aerial photos obtained by DailyMail.com on Tuesday showed the 10,000-square-foot mansion Affleck has been living in for the past few weeks.
While the temporary home offers enough space to comfortably house multiple families, it’s a downgrade for Affleck, who purchased a 38,000-square-foot mansion with his wife J.Lo last year for an eye-watering $60.85 million.
Fans began to suspect that something was wrong with Affleck and Lopez’s wedding after they weren’t photographed together for almost two months, though the time difference was reportedly due to the singer’s busy schedule and Affleck’s work filming a sequel on The Accountant.
The two appeared to reunite last week for a school performance that featured his child Fin. Although they were both grinning when they arrived at the piece, at other times they too looked noticeably icily around each other.
Ben has been seen without his wedding ring more often lately, but they both wore their rings when they were together.
A source said this on Monday PEOPLE that the married couple disagrees about the amount of attention they court.
“They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention,” they claimed. ‘Ben hates all the attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach.’
They added that it just wasn’t “his way” to reveal so much of his inner life to the public.
