The “Argo” star has been vocal about prioritizing his children. In a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Affleck stated that his production company, Artists Equity, was founded out of a desire to remain in Los Angeles and spend more time with his children. “I’m divorced. I share custody. I don’t want to go to Austin and New Orleans and Georgia anymore and not see my kids,” he explained.
He added on “Good Morning America” in 2021, “I will be long dead and someone will ask my kids, ‘What was your dad like?’ and that is when I will know what my life was worth.”
A Proud Parenting Moment for Garner & Affleck

At the time, Affleck shared the happy news on Facebook, writing, “We are happy to announce on February 27, Jennifer gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Samuel Garner Affleck.”
Ahead of welcoming their son, Garner admitted during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show“, “It would be so weird to have a boy,” adding that the experience would be “cool and different.”
After Samuel’s arrival, Garner returned to the show to give an update on life as a mom of three. Jokingly, she shared, “I mean, [my daughters] didn’t pee in my eye,” before affectionately adding that her youngest is “really, really, really sweet.”
Reflecting on the chaos of motherhood, Garner quipped, “I don’t know if it’s because he’s a boy. I don’t know if it’s because he’s my third and I forget that I have him… You’re just dealing with two and then you think, ‘I swear I put a baby down somewhere.’ And you kind of walk through the house, ‘There you are!’ and he’s just happy as can be.”
She also shared a peek at his budding personality: “He reaches when he sees me and he laughs a lot. He thinks I’m super funny. What more do you want?”
Samuel appears to have inherited his dad’s passion for sports. In 2019, Affleck revealed to DeGeneres that he was coaching Samuel’s Little League team, calling it “the dad dream.” He added, “You love it so much… I even pulled a few strings to be at every game.”
