Ben Affleck says his older kids have jobs as he defends his viral video of him denying his son Samuel, 13, $6,000 sneakers. The actor shares his kids, Samuel, 13, Seraphina, 16, and Violet, 19, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

While appearing on a Tuesday, April 22 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, the actor and dad of three, 52, spoke about his recent viral video where he criticized his teenage son, Samuel, 13, after he asked for $6,000 Dior Air Force 1s. The father of three then spoke with Access Hollywood on March 8 at the South by Southwest premiere of his latest film, The Accountant 2. At the time, Affleck doubled down on his sentiments about the sneakers being too expensive when he was asked if his son had started mowing the lawn to save up for the new kicks.
