Samuel Garner Affleck was his mother Jennifer Garner’s doppelganger at a Lakers game on Thursday evening with his father Ben Affleck.

The 12-year-old and his A-list father were snapped spending some father-son time together this week.

Ben, 52, wore a beige ensemble with a roll-neck jumper and a blazer and looked relaxed with a bottle of diet coke as his son ate fried chicken from their front-row seats.

Samuel’s look made it clear who they were supporting as he wore a Lakers jersey to the game as the Lakers took on the Golden State Warriors.

The pair looked completely engrossed by the game, looking very intense at certain parts, and cheering for their LA team at other parts of the game.

The 12-year-old clearly showed his family resemblance as he looked incredibly like his mother, Jennifer who has been divorced from Ben since 2018.

Jennifer and Ben shared the big screen three times in Pearl Harbour (2001), Daredevil (2003), and Elektra (2005) before tying the knot in 2005.

Ben and Jen separated in 2015, but have maintained a friendly relationship in the co-parenting of their children.

Samuel is the youngest of the couple’s children. The pair also share Violet, 19 and Fin (born Seraphina) aged 16.

Jennifer and Ben live near one another in Los Angeles and have frequently spoken about the priority they place on co-parenting.

An insider reported to Page Six that their friendship is stronger than ever and tragedies including the LA wildfires have brought them closer.

‘They really do have a close bond,’ a source revealed, adding the duo ‘know not all exes get along as well and they feel very grateful that they have such an amazing relationship.’
