Ben Affleck was seen enjoying a bonding moment with his son Samuel as they celebrated the little boy's 12th birthday.
The 51-year-old film star shares Samuel and his daughters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, with his first wife Jennifer Garner.
Samuel was still wearing his basketball uniform on his birthday when he met up with his father, who lovingly carried his ball for him as they strolled down the sidewalk.
He had also brought a wrapped gift for Samuel, which he balanced on one forearm while carrying a water bottle in his hand.
To ward off the February chill in a thick black coat, Ben wore a sky blue t-shirt and khaki pants.

Ben and his ex-wife, who are known for their warm co-parenting relationship, were also spotted reuniting and having a heart-to-heart chat this week.
During a solo coffee outing, Ben appeared in good spirits and grinned as he crossed the street bundled up in a hoodie.
On the romance front, Jennifer is currently in a long-term on-off relationship with one John Miller, while Ben has married his childhood sweetheart Jennifer Lopez.
To round out the blended family, J-Lo is raising a pair of 16-year-old twins named Max and Emme, whom she shares with her third ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
A source recently informed that the J-Lo marriage helped Ben and his ex-wife “get to a better place” in their own situation.
“Ben is healthy. “The drama of the past and the emotions of a divorce are long gone and they all make it work,” the insider explained.
Ben's two women are apparently “friendly” with each other and all of the children in the patchwork family are said to “love” each other.
The source shared: “It's really a very happy co-parenting situation.” “Everything is really good at the moment and should be the same in the near and distant future.”

A source recently informed that the J-Lo marriage helped Ben and his ex-wife “get to a better place” in their own situation.
A previous article on British website Closer Online claimed that J-Lo was “blindsided” and “angry” when he saw pictures of Ben and his ex-wife looking friendly.
Meanwhile, Ben was claimed to have “said Jennifer is like his sister at this point and if J-Lo gets jealous and throws tantrums over a harmless cuddle, then the problem is with her.” “It's a real war of attrition here , which threatens to explode.”
However, an insider assured that Ben and J-Lo are “very much in love” and the rumors of tension in the marriage are false.
“Their relationship is still on fire.” “They are really happy together and there is no drama at all in their relationship at the moment.”
