Ben Affleck was every inch the doting dad as he was spotted sharing a loving moment with his stepson Max on Monday.
The 50-year-old Oscar winner was seen wrapping his arms around his wife Jennifer Lopez’s son as he stopped by a Los Angeles studio.
It wasn’t clear if Ben’s 53-year-old wife, who had fun with him over the weekend as she hosted a celebrity karaoke party, was working at the studio during the visit.
The Argo director sported a casual-cool look centered around a stylish beige blazer as he hit the studio.
Too sweet! Ben Affleck, 50, shared a loving hug with his stepson Max, 14 – who he shares with wife Jennifer Lopez, 53 – as he arrived at an LA studio on Monday
Ben complemented the jacket with a cozy cream jumper, teamed with black jeans and brown, white and blue Nike trainers.
Max was dressed casually and comfortably in a gray hoodie with black sweatpants and gray slip-on sneakers.
Ben appeared to be exiting a waiting vehicle as Max headed for it.
The actor and “The Last Duel” co-writer leaned in to Max’s height and wrapped an arm around him to hug him, while Max’s arms held tight at his sides.
His stepfather leaned sideways on his head, possibly for a kiss or to whisper something to him.

After their hug, Max appeared to head to the car while Affleck stormed into the studio.
Max appeared unaccompanied by his twin sister, Emme, and Ben’s own children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner – Violet, 17; Seraphina, 13; and Samuel, 10 – were also not seen.
Ben wed Max’s mother, Jennifer, in a low-key Las Vegas wedding in April this year, before repeating their nuptials with a lavish ceremony for friends and family and his massive plantation-style estate in Riceboro, Georgia.
The couple started dating again in April 2021 before getting engaged in April this year.
It was the lovebirds’ second attempt at love after dating from 2002 to 2004, resulting in a failed engagement.

Ben has made all of his children – including his stepchildren with Jennifer – a big priority and he was seen enjoying a hoop game with his youngest child Samuel on Saturday.
His concern about spending as much time as possible with his children prompted the actor to even change his role in Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed blockbuster The Last Duel.
After reuniting with friend Matt Damon, with whom he wrote the Oscar-winning film Good Will Hunting, and filmmaker Nicole Holofcener to write the screenplay for The Last Duel, he was originally scheduled to work as an accused squire play Damon’s side in the rape of a knight’s wife.
But Affleck later decided to play a smaller supporting role while he was replaced in the lead role by Adam Driver so he wouldn’t be apart from his children for as long as the film was being shot abroad in France and Ireland.
