Ben Affleck was spotted on a shopping outing with his son Samuel Affleck this weekend.
The 52-year-old Accountant 2 star — who shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — puffed on a cigarette as he and his 13-year-old mini-me stopped by Ikea in Burbank, California.
The Boston-bred actor was casually dressed in a pair of light wash jeans, a blue button-up shirt, and a light-colored bomber jacket.
For his part, the teenager sported light gray sweatpants, a black T-shirt, and sneakers.
The father-son time comes amid Ben’s clash with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez over what they should do to sell their idle $68 million Beverly Hills mansion.
The exes, who were married for just two years, listed the sprawling estate last July, but still have not found a buyer.

They purchased the property in cash for $60.8 million in May 2023, nearly one year into their marriage.
Sources told TMZ Affleck wants to lower the price of the house while Lopez does not.
‘Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is. But the real estate market is not there and it’s not selling,’ another insider told Us Weekly.
Affleck is ready to sell, no matter the final offer. ‘Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,’ the person close to the situation dished.
Some realtors weighed in, telling TMZ that the $68M asking price is too high and needs to be dropped by at least 15% if the two stars wish to offload the home they once shared.
The Selena actress filed for divorce from Ben on their two-year wedding anniversary last August.
In addition to Samuel, Ben shares Violet, 19, and Fin, 16, with Garner, 53. Lopez shares fraternal twins Emme and Max, 17, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

In December a source told Us Weekly the former flames ‘know they will be in each other’s lives because of the kids and are remaining friendly,’ a source later told.
And this week Affleck confirmed it as he gushed about their broods while attending the premiere of The Accountant 2.
‘For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,’ he told Entertainment Tonight.
The A-list filmmaker continued, ‘I love her kids. They’re wonderful. She’s [an] enormously important, tremendous person with a lot of integrity, who I adore and am grateful to.’
He said emphatically, ‘It’s a great night. The kids are here, Jen’s kids are here. I’m very, very excited. I’m proud of the movie, I love the movie and I love when all the kids come out. It’s really fun, it’s exciting.’
Affleck emphasized, ‘I’m thrilled that the kids are here with me. The relationships that you can have with children like that, it’s the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing, and I’m glad that this is a movie they want to come to.’
