Ben Affleck spends quality time with his kids

Ben Affleck was the epitome of a devoted father, spending Saturday afternoon with two of his children.

Following a recent Mother's Day visit to their mother, Jennifer Garner, 53, the 52-year-old actor took Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13, to lunch at Huckleberry Cafe in Santa Monica.

The Argo actor, whose 37-year-old ex-girlfriend Ana de Armas is currently dating 62-year-old Tom Cruise, was slightly preoccupied with the phone he was holding and seemed to make an expression of surprise as he looked at something on it.

Holding a book, Fin was seen looking at the phone as though attempting to figure out what had Ben's attention so strongly.

Violet, the 18-year-old older sister who is attending college, was not in the photo.

For the occasion, he wore a tailored black overcoat, pants, and boots that matched with an ash-coloured T-shirt peeking out from under his coat.
