Here are some new photos of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in Santa Monica yesterday. As he was during Jennifer?s last pregnancy, Ben continues to be uncharacteristically affectionate and warm towards his wife. It really does seem ? visually, at least ? that Jen and Ben are stronger than ever. I do think they had a ?rough spot? for a few years ? especially when Ben was working on The Town with Blake Lively, right? Whatever went down (something!), Jennifer seems to have fought for her marriage and they made it through. And now they?re even stronger. Because looking at couples like Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? don?t you just see how Ben and Jen could beat the odds and actually make this thing work for decades to come?
Of course, I have an alternate theory: Ben is simply overjoyed to finally have a son. For years, it was widely reported that (unlike Matt Damon) Ben really, really wanted a boy. And now he has one. So Ben is no longer acting like such a grumpy bitch. So you?d think that now Ben has his boy, he and Jennifer would say ?no more kids? right? Not so much, according to Us Weekly:
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are beating the seven-year-itch.
?The marriage is rock-solid,? says a Garner pal. The duo taosted their anniversary June 29, and the actress, 40, will soon join Affleck, 39, in Puerto Rico, where he?ll film Runner, Runner.
Meanwhile, their third child, Samual, arrived in February and they?re debating having another.
?Jen is happy with three now that she has a boy,? says the pal. ?Ben wants four.?

When she was pregnant this last time, I seem to remember Jennifer saying that this was the last time she was doing it. Maybe she didn?t come right out and use those words, but that was definitely the impression I had. So? I could see her being all ?Seriously, we have three healthy children. Enough.? And Ben being like, ?But we could have one more!! Maybe another boy!!? It?s cute. But I?m betting that Jennifer is kind of over it (pregnancy) at this point.

Here are some new photos of Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their four-month-old son Samuel Garner Affleck out and about in LA yesterday. Apparently, they were getting their son a passport because one of them (?) is going out of the country for work. I think it?s Ben, right? He?s set to begin filming Runner, Runner in Puerto Rico. Do you need a passport to go to Puerto Rico?!? Google says NO, but you do need some kind of ID, and since Samuel can?t get his driver?s license, I guess that?s why he needs a passport. Anyway, they look happy, don?t they? I really do think Ben is beyond thrilled to have a son at long last.
It?s kind of weird/funny to me that Jessica Simpson gets an endless amount of tabloid crap about her body and ?losing the baby weight? and Jennifer Garner is left completely alone. Part of that is the expectations that each woman set up during their respective pregnancies ? Jessica talked about her weight and what she was eating, and she signed on to Weight Watchers when she was still pregnant, which gave everyone a green light to discuss it publicly. Meanwhile, Jennifer didn?t really discuss anything, and it?s generally believed that she had a healthy pregnancy and she isn?t focused on losing the baby weight immediately ? as in, it isn?t her top priority, she?s just letting it happen naturally. Of course, there?s another reason Jessica and Jennifer are treated so differently. It?s because Jennifer is seen as every woman?s girlfriend and if any tabloid said anything harsh about her post-baby body (like, even a tenth of what?s said about Jessica), there would be blood on the streets. I just enjoy the double standard that seems to only apply to Jennifer Garner because she and her daughters have dimples.
PS? I love Jennifer?s purse. Bottega Veneta?

Tending to his always busy daddy duties, Ben Affleck was spotted picking up his daughter Violet from school in Santa Monica, CA on Monday (June 11).
The ?Good Will Hunting? actor kept a casual look in jeans and a sweater as he walked hand in hand with his adorable daughter who looked pretty in pink.
While Ben?s wife, Jennifer Garner, keeps busy with her many business endeavors, the 39 year-old dad of three has been keeping busy with his little ones.
Just yesterday, the scruffy-faced hunk took both of his daughters out to enjoy activities at Cheryl Fudge?s Fashion Camp in Santa Monica. While there, the trio could be seen having fun making eco-friendly outfits and getting piggy back rides!

Sometimes when a celebrity dad talks about his kids, I?m able to get a perfect image of what the dude is like as a father. Whenever I think of Johnny Depp?s parenting skills, the image I get is of Depp, on the floor, covered in Pink scarves, giving voice to his daughter?s Barbie dolls in some French chateau. When I think of Brad Pitt with his kids, I imagine Brad as overextended, exhausted, and trying to curl up and take a nap when he puts the twins down. And whenever I think of Ben Affleck with his kids, this is pretty much what it looks like. Ben being casually strangled by little arms, trying to do something on his phone, eyeing the paparazzi. Anyway, these are new photos of Ben, Violet and Seraphina at Cheryl Fudge?s Fashion Camp. Yes, daddy took his girls to FASHION CAMP!
Ben Affleck is a dad on duty! In Santa Monica, Calif. on Sunday, the 39-year-old dapper dad of three enjoyed a day of girlie activities at Cheryl Fudge’s Fashion Camp with Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3; son Samuel, 4 months, stayed at home.
The trio got in some quality daddy-daughter time while putting together customized eco-friendly clothing ensembles in Fudge’s California-based shop. Affleck made sure to document all the creative construction for mom, Jennifer Garner, who was also absent from the outing.
In addition to playing chaperone and photographer, the actor also stood in as transportation, giving little both Violet and Seraphina alternating piggyback rides.
With Father’s Day just a week away, there’s no doubting that Garner, 40, and their brood will have something special in store for the rock star dad. For Mother’s Day, Affleck posted a video thanking both his mom and his wife, who he called “an incredible, spectacular, world-class mom.”
It’s no secret that he and the Odd Life of Timothy Green actress make quite the team. In April, Garner accepted the Female Star of the Year award at CinemaCon, despite her mom telling her that she’s always “breastfeeding or running a car pool — not acting!”
Garner’s response to her mom’s words: “I said it’s not all about the now, it’s things you’ve done in the past or in the future, and she was like, ‘Honey, you have a weird job.’”

I wonder if Ben is just biding his time until his son gets old enough so they can do ?boy things? together. Red Sox games, T-ball, etc. I know Violet is a little athlete too – hopefully, Ben and Jennifer aren?t entrenched in old-fashioned gender roles for their kids. Meaning that I hope Ben takes his girls to baseball games too, and not just to FASHION CAMP! But these are cute photos – I don?t think I ever realized that Seraphina is a little badass. Look at her outfit!

Out grabbing some crafting supplies in Beverly Hills, Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet Affleck made a quick stop at Color Me Mine in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday afternoon (May 29).
The ?Daredevil? beauty showed some leg for summer in a flirty summer dress and denim jacket while her oldest daughter took after mom looking absolutely adorable in a floral print summer dress paired with a bright purple flower purse.
Ben Affleck's came to meet his girls later on in the day to pick them up from their retail romp and make a quick trip to the bank.
In other family news, X17 Online has released what they claim to be the first photos of the happy couple's three-month-old son Samuel.
In the photo, which was allegedly taken over Memorial Day weekend in their Pacific Palisades neighborhood, the little one?s face is being slightly covered by a blanket while being pushed in his stroller but shows his adorable features including lips that resemble his famous mother.

It was a family affair as Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck watched their daughter Violet earn a yellow belt at her karate class in Santa Monica, CA on Friday afternoon (May 11).
The darling 6-year-old was also joined by Grandma and Grandpa Garner while she held on to her daddy?s hand as the group made their way to their rides.
In personal news, ?The Town? actor paid a special Mother?s Day tribute to his wife of seven years through a video, which he shared on his Facebook.
"I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in my life--my mom, Chris, and my amazing wife, Jennifer, who is an incredible, spectacular, world-class mom, and I want to thank her," he said.
"And I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the moms I've met in the Democratic Republic of Congo who are on this video that I hope you watch," he continued. "I urge you to share it, to post it to Facebook, to celebrate all the moms in the world, including the ones in your life, as well as those out there in the world working at the very hardest job there is every single day."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are still glowing over the birth of their third child (and first son), Samuel Garner Affleck. Sam was born in late February, and since then, Jennifer has made some public outings and such, but these photos are some of the first I?ve seen of Ben and Jen together since Sam was born. During Jennifer?s pregnancy, Ben was uncharacteristically and publicly affectionate with Jen, which led some people to think that he was and is super-happy to finally ?get the boy.? These photos are of Ben and Jen leaving a doctor?s office in Santa Monica yesterday – probably just a checkup for her, I?m guessing. It?s nice that Ben is still being attentive to her.
As I was looking through these photos, it struck me – is Ben wearing one of Jennifer?s sweaters? One, I?m pretty sure I?ve seen Jennifer wear this particular sweater. Two, I?m pretty sure this is a woman?s sweater. And three, it does not look good on Ben, nor does it fit him. Does Ben realize he?s wearing a woman?s sweater? Unknown.
CB mentioned that she loves Ben?s new haircut and his salt-and-pepper beard. He had a big, bushy, 1970s beard while he was filming (and directing!) Argo, and it looks like he?s keeping some kind of facial hair for now, but he?s just keeping a more trimmed look. As for his haircut? I?m kind of meh on it. I prefer this to the 1970s shag he was rocking, but this isn?t my favorite.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have welcomed their third child together, a boy! I’m surprised that Garner had her baby, as I honestly thought she had a couple more weeks left to go. She’s been looking ready for some time, though. This is the third child for the Afflecks. They also have two daughters together: Seraphina, 3, and Violet, 6. It’s thought that dad Ben was hoping for a son, although Jennifer has said that he seemed open to another daughter, too. There’s no word yet as to the baby’s name. Here’s more, from US Weekly:
The couple of seven years welcomed their third child, a baby boy, in Santa Monica, Calif., a source confirms to Us Weekly.
Garner and Affleck’s new little one joins older daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3.
Announcing her pregnancy in August 2011, Garner, 39, managed to stay mum on the gender of her family’s third baby, and while she admitted she’d be thrilled to have another girl, said Affleck was excited either way.
“I would have thought [he wanted a boy]. At first…I really thought so,” the Arthur actress told Jay Leno in January. “And then [Ben] kind of said, ‘Well, we have girls. We know how to do girls. My girls love me. I’m the big guy in the house.’ So, now I’m not sure.”

Aw, congratulations to Jennifer and Ben on their new arrival! They’re one of my favorite Hollywood couples and they seem so solid lately. Their girls have such nice names that are unique without sounding too experimental or strange. I bet they’ll go with a traditional name for their boy, but we’ll see. I’m actually excited to hear what they named the little guy.
Garner and Affleck are shown out together on 1-9-12. She is shown out with Violet on Friday, 2-24-12. Credit: Pablo/FameFlynet Pictures

With their brood continuing to expand, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are proud parents for the third time!
The "New Year's Eve" actress and her "The Town" actor hubby welcomed a baby boy in Santa Monica, CA, the couple's rep confirms.
The bundle of joy is Ben and Jen's first male offspring, as the pair are already parents to two adorable daughters, Violet and Seraphina.
"It would be so weird to have a boy," Garner said a few months back on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show," while Ben had said after Seraphina's birth that the three-to-one female to male ratio left him "significantly outnumbered". Looks like Ben's situation just got a bit more evened out.

Actor/director Ben Affleck has joined Facebook, partially to raise awareness for his new Eastern Congo Initiative nonprofit. I had the eye-opening experience of seeing Ben Affleck’s “Nightline” special in 2008, in which he made his third trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo to see the terrible effects of war on the Eastern Congolese people. The atrocities that Ben heard about were unbelievable, and you could see how much it moved him and how surprised he was that there were people who could do such horrible things. Ben has since gone to the Congo several more times, he shot a short documentary there that he premiered at the UN, he’s written an essay for Time, and he founded the Eastern Congo Initiative in 2010. He told People that he wants to make a difference in the world now that he has children:
The actor, 39, founded the Eastern Congo Initiative in 2010 and recently got back from his eighth trip to the war-torn region. Affleck says it’s his kids, Violet, 6 and Seraphina, 3, who inspire him to do good in the world.
“I got to a point in my life where I felt like I had been very fortunate,” Affleck tells PEOPLE in an interview for the Feb. 27 issue, on newsstands now.
“And I wanted to do something more with my life than just make movies and try to make money. I wanted to do something that was important to me in other ways and would serve as an example to my kids.”
Wednesday, Affleck launched a Facebook timeline to share pictures and stories from his trips to Africa. His nonprofit helps support Congolese-led organizations helping to rebuild the region, from groups aiding former child soldiers to those supplying health care to the most vulnerable.
“The people there are working as hard as they can to make their lives better,” says Affleck. “And that’s inspiring.”
As for his own kids, Affleck says he shows them where he’s going on a map when he travels to Africa. Says the actor: “I tell them it’s important to be involved in the world in ways that help others and not just yourself.”
[From People]
I’m so impressed by Ben’s commitment to this cause, and it seems like he’s genuinely concerned and has done a lot of hard work behind the scenes. This guy used to be persona non grata in Hollywood post Bennifer, but he put his head down and emerged better for it. He could have done so much more to rehab his image, but he seemed more concerned about becoming a better person and that has made all the difference.
Ben’s wife Jennifer looks like she’s due any day now. I have to admit I’m excited to see whether she’ll have a boy or a girl. Either way, Ben will be surely thrilled.
In a very superficial side note, do you guys like the new Facebook “timeline” format? I don’t, and I usually try to embrace change but it just seems distracting and harder to follow to me. I like things that are linear, and “timeline” should be, but it fills the page with photos and different features and it’s hard to tell what’s new. Still, it’s good to see Ben on Facebook.
Here’s Jennifer Garner out on 2-21-12. She’s ready! Credit: Pablo/FameFlynet Pictures. She’s also shown out with Ben on 1-25-12. Other photos from Ben’s Facebook
