The actor — whose marriage to Jennifer Lopez appears to be hanging by a thread — was photographed riding his motorcycle Wednesday in Los Angeles with his youngest child, Samuel, sitting behind him.
Affleck, 51, wore a navy blue T-shirt with jeans and white Nike sneakers, while his 12-year-old son donned a gray tee, bright blue joggers and gray tennis shoes.
The father-son duo made sure to sport helmets.

Meanwhile, Lopez is enjoying an Italian vacation — seemingly all to herself.
The singer, 54, was spotted on a boat with friends in Positano, also on Wednesday, rocking a yellow bandeau top beneath an open button-down, which she paired with matching shorts.
Though Lopez gave her “hero,” Affleck, a shout-out in honor of Father’s Day this past weekend, the couple are reportedly selling the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion they bought just last May.
“Jenny has had enough, and she really tried, but she can do no more,” an insider told the Daily Mail earlier this week, claiming that the pair’s marriage is “not getting any better; it’s worse.”

The songstress is now apparently “trying to make the best” of her time by focusing on her twins, Max and Emme, 16, and her career goals for 2025.
Part of those plans reportedly include reviving her recently canceled “This Is Me… Live” tour.
“She is excited about going on tour next year when her personal life is on calmer ground and she can connect with her fans,” the insider shared. “She will take her tribe with her and make the most of it.”
Another informant close to the actress admitted that the director “can be grumpy and a downer” but made sure to note he’s “a wonderful father.”

Last week, a source told “Entertainment Tonight” that the duo have “been living separate lives” but are “not officially separated yet.”
“At this point, they are just doing their own thing,” the source explained. “They went into their relationship very optimistic and thought things could change, but they haven’t.”
Affleck reportedly began staying in a home in Brentwood in mid-May, and Lopez has apparently been “touring houses and shopping around for her own home.”
“Ben is sad about it all but focused on his work, being a great dad and co-parenting well with Jennifer Garner,” the source said.

Affleck shares Samuel, Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, with Garner, 52, while Lopez co-parents her twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55.
An insider previously told Page Six that Affleck — who has been seen numerous times in recent weeks without his wedding ring — had “come to his senses” about his two-year “fever dream” marriage to Lopez.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” our insider insisted.
The stars, who called off their engagement in 2004 before reconciling in 2021, married in Las Vegas in July 2022.
