Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet spent their afternoon at a Park in the Pacific Palisades of Los Angeles.
Heavily pregnant Jen seemed relaxed and held hands with her handsome hubby as they strolled thought the Park grounds. Violet, meanwhile, kept busy making cheesy grins the whole time!
While it’s Jen Garner that Ben is spending all of his time with, it’s a whole other Jennifer who he is opening up about — Jennifer Lopez.
Hammering home a message we the public got years ago, the 36-year-old actor admits he regrets his romance with the Latina lustress.
Says Ben: “I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible. I don’t think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own.”
Meanwhile, shortly after his family day out, Ben packed his bags, headed to LAX and boarded a flight to New York City. Beginning first thing in the morning? Rehearsals for his hosting duties of this week’s installment of Saturday Night Live.
It’s an exciting time for Ben — an outspoken Democrat — to host the late night sketch show. By then, the election will only be three days away and we’re sure there will be lots of politically-inspired skits!

Ben looks hot. I LOVE this family!
Why is he bringing up JLo now? Is he promoting something? Anyway VIolet is going to grow up to be a gorgeous girl. She looks like a mini Jen in the fifth photo below. Even more gorgeous.
WOW - What a gorgeous family. I want a little girl.
They are pathetic attention seeking media whores who like to pretend they are private but that could not be further from the truth. No celebrity in Hollywood exploits their child like Jennifer Garner does.
Covering up VIolet’s face is so lame when all they have done over the years is exploit their own child for media attention, if it wasn’t for Violet the paparazzi would not be interested in them, they are b list actors nobody cares about, Jen Garner is the most overpaid underperforming actress at the box office.
Ben is really pathetic acting upset at the photographers when they are there because his wife’s publicist tipped them off. This is really pathetic of Ben, I thought he was better than Jen Garner but it’s clear he’ll stoop as low as she will when it comes to exploiting their own child.
I LOVE this family!
Spot the lame ass celebrities at the park with their bodyguard, but don’t look at them they are just trying to be normal with their bodyguard. Ben isn’t surprised that the photographers found him at the park, that’s why went with them to the park.
I agree, Violet is looking very pretty here. Better than usual. That little finger in the mouth thing is cute, but let’s see how she acts when new baby Affleck is in the picture…
Ben always looks so harassed — he sold his soul for this fame and fortune, and now he’s mad that his privacy is invaded? Sorry, but that comes with the territory. He gets very little sympathy from me.
There is a video of him lunging at a paparazzi that got too close to him and his family Saturday night. That is probably why he looks pissed here.
That quote about JLo is from an old interview that was done after he split from JLo and before he even hooked up with Jen G. Now Magazine has a history of rehashing old articles and presenting them like there new.
yea…there’s no way this interview is new. so much BS
What a rare sight, Ben at the park with his family and holding his wife’s hand, did he get caught with strippers again. Ben’s not mad his privacy is being invaded his just pretending he is, he loves the attention as much as his wife does. Violet is most overexposed celebrity child in Hollywood, the most exploited by her parents they are worse than the celebs who get paid for their kids pictures on the cover of People. They are not a normal family just two media manipulators working the paparazzi for fame and attention.
Ben has obviously still not over the fact that lopez moved on quickly and is happier than ever with a man that worships her and beautiful twins.
Poor Ben ended up in a shotgun wedding with a woman that hounded him and has been miserable ever since.
Why is the media always trying to put a happy face on their relationship.
Ben always looks tortured when he is with them.
NOW MAGAZINE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE ARTICLE ON THEIR WEBSITE.. WHERE DID THIS PERSON
GET THIS INFORMATION FROM… Just because Ben broke up with Jlo 4 years ago…doesn’t give anyone
the right to rehash something he said 4 years ago …
Lets talk about Penelope and Tom… shall we .. before Katie..Tom and Penelope were so in love and now
he is married to Katie Holmes and has a daughter.. And so does Ben .People move on with there lives
we do not need to read old articles just because one website “said that Now magazine said this”
Even when Ben was promoting his last move all he did was talk about JLo. He never got over her. JLo says she doesn’t talk about her exes out of respect for her husband but Ben cannot stop talking about JLo, he does not have the same respect for Jennifer Garner but then why would he, she tricked him into marriage by getting marriage and now he stays with her because his career is in the stinker. He would never have married Jennifer Garner is she hadn’t been pregnant, Jennifer Garner knows that.
Mark Walhberg , Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise and Hugh Jackson are reallyyyyyyyy into their kids and wives , Ben not so much…….
Ben has never talked much about Lopez since their break up, he said a few words, which were more about the medias exploitation of their relationship, and that’s all the medias cared to print. He never said a bad word about his exes. Obviously, he loves Jennifer Garner enough to have a 2nd child with her. BTW Ben got better reviews for his directing debut “Gone Baby Gone” than Lopez did for all her latest efforts, whether they are CDs or movies, and “Juno” for Jen did better business than any Lopez recent movie too. Yeah, Tom Cruise is really into his kid, that’s why she always looks miserable, dragging her to soccer games, late night restaurants, what a great father! and she will be brainwashed by scientology too, like her mother is.
“Now” is a 10th rate British rag, which always rehashes old stories.
Ben hates the paps, because he has learned his lesson from his time with JLow.
garner is no actress, she is just filler in movies.
Ben looks miserable as usual and garner got the man she deserves…karma
Jen is such an oblivious idiot , she doesn’t realize how unhappy her man is.
Ben never got over JLo marrying Marc Anthony six months after they split. He married Jennifer Garner on the rebound from JLO and the hurt he was feeling that she moved on so quickly. He would leave Jennifer Garner but it’s not good for his political and career ambitions, Jennifer Garner is plain, simple, boring and her movie career will never outshine his. As long as Jennifer Garner doesn’t win an oscar and become more successful than Ben he won’t leave her, even if he doesn’t really love her.
First if they were fame whores,they would’ve sold pictures of their baby like JLo did.And sell pics of their parties like Jlo did.Ben is more of a gentleman than Marc will ever be.Ben would never desert his family and remarry so quickly like Marc did.
The first pictures of Violet were sold to People magazine, they were taken in Boston in May when she was six months old but the public never knew this because Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck only agreed to it if it wasn’t made public. Their publicists made it look like it was just a normal outing for Jennifer and Violet but Jennifer knew the whole time, that the photographers would there taking pictures.
I give this marriage six to nine months, but garner will have to finally make the decision because he is too much of a coward.
And I agree Ben still loves Jennifer Lopez but she moved on so quickly they didn’t have a chance. Marc had been waiting for lopez for years you can hear it in his music.
Lopez is happy and she deserves it.
I can’t beleive he was ever with J-Lo…the were so wrong for each other! Ben is a respected actor and seems like a really down to earth good guy and J-Lo is just so diva-ish, flashy and very far from Jenny from the Block. He embarassed himself when he let himself slip down to her level. Jennifer Garner is sooo different from J-Lo and I feel like Ben and her are a much better fit. You don’t see Violet getting wrapped up in thousand dollar blankets and flaunted around on the cover of Ok magazine.
It was BEN who didn’t want to marry Lopez that’s why he cancelled the wedding. She desperately wanted to marry him but he wouldnt have her. Obviously he is a man that doesnt ever do what he doesnt want to do. And he didnt want to marry her. Now Garner he wanted to marry so he did and is happy and is having a second child with her. He isnt still talking about Lopez-that is a rehashed article from years ago. The idiot who said he gives this marriage six to nine months–give up. They have been together 4 and a half years and they didnt HAVE to get married. Nobody HAS to get married in Hollywood or else what about all the unwed Hollywood parents out there — I think there are more unmarried ones than married ones lately! Including Mark Wahlberg who if he was so into his girlfriend-why hasnt he married her after 3 kids?
Ben was never going to marry Jennifer Garner until she got pregnant, he would have married JLo too if she had been pregnant. Ben’s best friends Kevin Smith and Matt Damon have talked many times about Ben being head over heels in love with Jennifer Lopez, the media ruined their relationship. Kevin Smith also said that Ben didn’t care about jennifer garner until she got pregnant and he had to marry her. Jennifer Lopez was the one Ben was crazy about, jennifer garner is the rebound.
Poor Jennifer Garner her husband is still talking about his ex fiancee after all these years, Ben cannot forget JLo. It must be terrible for Jennifer Garner to be constantly reminded that she was second choice. Ben settled, he married the rebound and is now stuck in a loveless marriage.
I’m so tired of all this shit about Ben having to marry Jen G. because she was pregant. He did not have to marry her, just like his brother Casey didn’t have to marry his wife when she got pregnant and then finally married her when their kid was two, and how Matt Damon didn’t have to marry his wife when she got pregnant but he did when his wife was three months pregnant. Gwynneth Paltrow was pregnant with Chris Martin’s kid before she got married and so on and so on. Ben married Jen because he wanted to, he was not forced to, Ben was talking about wanting to get married and have kids in October 2004 when he and Jen G. just started dating. Who knows what will happen to these two, no one knows that but them, point is Ben said this quote 4 1/2 years ago, it was re-hashed and I bet you he will never speak of that relationship again, because as much as he has accomplished unfortunately people only seem to care about his stupid over exposed relationship with that has-been JLo.
Casey, Matt and Chris Martin all dated their girlfriends for years before they started a family, Jennifer Garner was knocked after only dating Ben Affleck for 6 months. Ben had no choice, Jennifer insisted he marry her and Ben coming off the whole JLo over exposure had no choice his career was in the toilet and he was trying to redeem his image. Nobody plans a pregnancy after dating only 6 months, except a crazy person or a tv actress trying to trap a successful rich man into marrying her, which is what Jennifer Garner did. Ben hasn’t looked happy in a long time, a band aid baby will not save their marriage.
Julia is right.
I remember Ben being wheeled into an emergency room by his mom the same day Lopez and Marc were getting married.
