Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcomed their son, Samuel Garner Affleck, back at the end of February. Since she gave birth, Jennifer has been following her normal mom-routine with the two older kids, Seraphina and Violet, and the paparazzi have been following them like always. But in that time, we haven’t really gotten a good look at Samuel. Jen and Ben have never sold photos of their babies to a magazine, so I wasn’t expecting a People Mag cover or anything, but for the girls, Jennifer always made sure that the paparazzi got free candid photos of the babies soon enough (and on a nearly daily basis after that).
Anyway, as CB was discussing yesterday, the Garner-Afflecks were out and about for the 4th of July, and the girls were in their patriotic best, and Samuel even came out for some of the festivities. Some photo agencies managed to score photos of Samuel on the Fourth – we did not. You can see those pics here. So… these photos of Jennifer and Samuel on the 5th (yesterday) are not “Baby’s First Candids”. But it’s still nice that Jennifer made sure that some other photo agencies got some grainy photos of Samuel. He looks like… a baby. I can’t really tell who he looks like at this point or if he even HAS dimples.
As for Ben and Jen… sources claim that Ben really wants another baby and he’s trying to “convince” Jennifer to go for a fourth. I kind of think they should just stick with three! TOO MANY DIMPLES.

Ben looks hot. He finally found his perfect hair do – no Justin Bieber mop -no baldy buzzcut – just right.
I NEVER found him attractive, but lately something has changed. He looks good! And I LOOOOVE this family, they seem so nice and normal 🙂
I thinks its a combo of him slightly aging, the hint of grey hair…those arms busting out of the smedium shirt. Whatever it is, he’s looking good.
His kids are adorable, every time I see Ben with his family I think about how much Jennifer Lopez wanted that. She so wanted to have Ben’s kids. LOL!!! Is hilarious how desperate she became.
nothing like cute family pix on celebitchy to start my morning. i reaaaaalllly hope there are no divorce headlines for them in the future.
+1
Wow Been got really hot to me all of a sudden.
I agree. What the hell? His arms!
Must be the small shirt lol!
What is it about dimples that drives people crazy?
Sam looks like Jen!! a lot!
I think he looks just like his middle sister, Seraphina. She’s a combo.
Violet looks EXACTLY like Jen. Like her kiddy-nerd character in “13 Going on 30”.
I love this family! Don’t screw this up, Ben! You know the gods have already smiled on you once, to dodge the J-Lo bullet. Can you imagine? Ben is so lucky to have found THIS Jennifer to have his kids.
Why bring up Jennifer Lopez? Are you afraid she might snap her fingers and he might run back to her? Why do people feel soo threatened by Jennifer Lopez and the memory of Bennifer? How do you know what their relationship would have been had it suceeded? What if Jennifer Lopez would have scaled back once she had kids? Maybe she is still at this music thing because Ben DUMPED her and she feels she has to prove somthing. When maybe she wanted what Jennifer Garner does, and by all accounts she does love her kids too.
You don’t know these people and you don’t know Jennnifer Lopez or the relationship that she had with Ben in PRIVATE. So, if you feel soo secure about Garner and Affleck than how about the next time you applaud Bennifer 2.0 for their beautiful family (because it is), you DON’T mention Jennifer Lopez.
Why all the hate, Lissa? It’s not a crime to bring up someone’s past.
As to Bennifer 1.0, I seriously doubt anyone thinks there is a snowball’s chance in hell of it happening again. Ben looks a lot saner and happier than he did back then.
And I don’t understand your argument that maybe Jennifer would have scaled her music career back if she had kids? She DID have kids. And I doubt so many years later than Lopez’s career choices are based off of getting dumped by Ben. They both moved on long ago.
Thanks, lila.
My point was that JLo doesn’t go for the average family stuff like Garner does. THIS is how Ben HAS SAID he wanted to raise his family–normal, toned down. That’s not JLo. I don’t think there’s even a dispute there. She loves the spotlight.
As far as Ben ‘dumping’ JLo, isn’t that what people do when they realize they aren’t with the right person? Ben wanted a Jen G style woman to have his kids. (Matt Damon did too.)
I want him to already have realized how good a life he really has going; I hate hearing that he could still be cheating. He’s started doing a lot of charity work in Africa. I so hope he’s grown up.
Lissa, some people bring up JLo because the whole “Bennifer” period was a joke. Even Ben has said how much he regrets the whole period. Jennifer Lopez is a joke. She can’t have a stable relationship with any man. If Ben marries that trash he would’ve been looking at divorce proceedings in 2012 while Jennifer Lopez frolics with her boy toy on a beach with Ben’s kids. She is an embarrassment.
Yes. And something about him in the first shot looks just like Violet. Such adorable kids, all of them.
Sooo cute, love this family!
I was always alittle but iffy about them. But these pics are cute & I soooo hate to say this but Ben looks good.
cute kids
Ben looks yummy….
Was Ben always this muscular? Is this for a role? He’s looking really good these days…keep it up Ben & Jen!
Yes he’s always been hot and buff.He tries to ugly himself a lot with baggy cloths and facial hair .I don’t know why I guess ever since the Bennifer ordeal ,when the press kept saying he was metrosexual.But underneath it all he’s super hot@!
I like them. They seem real. It doesn’t seem like it’s all just photo-ops for the papparazzi like some celebrity family outings. The way they interact with their kids just seems like a normal family. Not tons of nannies in tow, although I’m sure they have help, but compared to some celebrity families…at least they seem to be the parents, as opposed to the nannies!
Cute Kids, but what is the need for Jennifer to have her children photographed all the time. There are playgrounds and places to go in and around LA that the kids could play without being photographed? Are the children part of her career?
I think Ben has spoken about this before. Something to the effect of – the paparazzi know where they live, know where the kids go to school, take dance, karate, etc… and they have basically conceded to letting them get their shots as long as it’s from a safe distance and they don’t yell at or upset the kids. They want the kids to have a normal life and a normal routine and unfortunately the paparazzi have figured it out. They don’t want to move or transport the kids around in blacked out SUV’s with bodyguards, etc… so it is what it is.
She was pregnant?? She had another baby?? Where have I been? I didn’t hear anything about it.
Im glad to see theyve been together this long. It is kind of refreshing.
Ben has that “I finally got a son” glow about him.
Jen’s skin is to die for, and Ben is looking HOOOTTT. Something seems very right in the Affleck world right now. Three healthy beautiful children, Ben’s career is going places I don’t think he could have imagined, and his BFF just bought the house next door. Everything seems peachy.
I saw more photos on JustJared.com Samuel is an adorable baby boy who is the spitting image of his sisters. Say what you want about Jennifer’s fashion, she is an excellent mom who’s kids are normal and happy.
Serious ? What exactly is considered a normal family by American standards these days
Ditto much of the above. I love this family. Ben is getting so much better with age. The hotness!
Samuel and Violet look just like their mom and Seraphina looks like Ben.
Samuel is so cute! But Seraphina is still my favorite. She has Ben’s eyes.
I kind of hope they’re the real deal, and that they stick it out. I never really thought much about them one way or another before, but they’re looking sane and happy these days.
Ugh, please stop papping yourselves. So obviously staged.
“I kind of think they should just stick with three!”
What a strange thing to say… why?
