Events Surrounding Samuel’s Birth

Ben wished for a son from the start. When the couple had their daughter Seraphina born in 2009, fans thought maybe the couple would take a break. 

But three years later, Jennifer announced she was pregnant again with a child. It was open knowledge back then that Ben wanted to try for a son.

His wish was granted, and Samuel was born in 2012. 

At that time, Ben and Jennifer were doing perfectly fine and were happy with each other. It would remain the same way till the next three years. Things started to fall apart when the couple experienced problems. 

Ben Affleck was at the time suffering from alcohol addiction and work overload. This started to take its toll on him and his relationship. 

After struggling for a couple of years, they decided it was enough and ended their relationship. 

Initially, when the couple announced their divorce, they lived in the same home but in a guest house so that they could co-parent their children. 

Co-parenting Samuel

The couple was spotted by the paparazzi spending time outside. Samuel went to the beach with his parents along with doing various chores and activities. 

As they all were living under the same roof, many thought they were reconciling their differences. 

After trying things out for a couple of years, Ben left the house and filed for divorce which was finalized after a lengthy battle ensued for child custody. 

Both Ben and Jennifer were looking for legal joint and physical custody of all their children. Samuel remains the important element that keeps his parents together. 

A Skilled Baseball Player

Samuel is a skilled baseball player. His father said so when he appeared in The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019 to give an interview. 

Ben Affleck was full of praise for his son and opened up a little regarding his son’s private life. He said it is like a “dad dream”.

Ben was the coach of the team and said he was having fun with his son and the other kids. “It’s one of those things, you love it so much,” he said in the interview.

The Impact of Samuel and His Siblings on His Parents

His father has said that the divorce remains the single most regrettable decision of his life. 

Samuel and his two daughters were the sole reason both the parents tried to make it work and not separate. It wasn’t meant to be, but both Ben and Jennifer love their children.
