Ben Affleck Reveals How He and Ex Jennifer Garner Used to Address Tabloid Gossip with Their Kids


Ben Affleck reveals how he and ex Jennifer Garner used to address tabloid gossip with their kids. The former couple is parents to Samuel, 13, Seraphina, 16, and Violet, 19.

In a new interview with GQ, the actor, 52, spoke about how he addressed tabloid gossip with his three kids — Samuel, 13, Seraphina, 16, and Violet, 19 — whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. "We used to have a thing, my ex-wife [Jennifer Garner] and I, when they would see something on a supermarket stand, we would say, well, 'You know this isn't always true because if it were, you would have 15 brothers or sisters or whatever the number of stories is where they said that your mom is pregnant,' " said Affleck. Next to Affleck, his son Samuel wore a black Lakers sweatshirt and gray sweatpants, mimicking his dad's smolder as the father-son duo posed for the camera.
