Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were photographed appearing relaxed and cheerful as they headed into a Los Angeles movie theater on Friday with their two younger children, Fin and Samuel.
Photographs published Friday show the four walking toward the theater entrance, smiling and joking as they were joined by Affleck's mother. Affleck, 53, and Garner, 53, have maintained a low public profile with their children in recent years, and the outing was described as a rare family appearance.
Affleck, who recently marked his 53rd birthday with the teens, was dressed casually in a white T-shirt, tan pants and a black-and-gray jacket. Garner wore a navy blue and gray striped zip cardigan with jeans, her hair brushed straight and makeup kept natural. Their son Fin, 16, followed their mother's lead in a long-sleeve brown, white and black striped T-shirt paired with jeans that featured a red-and-white floral stripe down each leg. Their younger child, Sam, 13, wore a large black hoodie.
The images capture a brief family moment on a public outing, with the group reportedly entering the theater together. The presence of Affleck's mother as they arrived suggested a multigenerational trip to the cinema.
Both actors have stepped back at times from the public spotlight to focus on family, and appearances with all four together have been relatively infrequent. The photographs add to recent public glimpses of the family and underline their continued co-parenting while keeping a comparatively private everyday life.
Neither actor issued a public statement about the outing. The photographs provide a snapshot of the family on a casual Friday night in Los Angeles, emphasizing a relaxed, low-key approach to spending time together in public.
