Ben Affleck flashes a rare smile as he grabs pizza with daughter Seraphina, 14, in Los Angeles – after the star was spotted at McDonald’s several times in a month

Ben Affleck looked in good spirits as he enjoyed some quality time with his daughter Seraphina, 14, this week.

The father-daughter duo browsed a bookstore before grabbing five pizzas and heading home.

The Argo star, 51 – who is known for his loyalty to McDonald’s – and his middle child looked like they were thoroughly enjoying each other’s company as they had big smiles on their faces.

In the snap, they were happily laughing as they walked down the street of Los Angeles – with Ben carrying five pizza boxes.

The Oscar winner – who took his two youngest children skateboarding last week – shares Seraphina, as well as Violet, 17, and Ben, 11, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51.

The Gone Girl actor wore a very daddy cardigan sweater over a white T-shirt with khakis.

Seraphina channeled the grunge style of the 1990s in a plaid shirt left unbuttoned over a sage green T-shirt.

Khaki shorts, bright blue socks and sneakers completed the teen’s look.

Last month we spotted Ben and his wife Jennifer Lopez heading to McDonald’s three days a week, but earlier this month Affleck was spotted at Jack-In-The-Box instead.

Things certainly seem to be going well for Ben, as he’s been getting along with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner in recent weeks thanks to his current J-Lo.

In September, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that ‘the drama of the past’ and the ’emotions’ of their ‘divorce’ are ‘long over’.

“One of the things that made it [Garner] And [Affleck] getting to a better place was – and is – JLO,” the insider shared. ‘Ben is healthy. The past drama and emotions of divorce are long gone and they all make it work.”

They added that Lopez and Garner are “friendly” to each other and that all of their children “love each other.”

“It’s really a very happy co-parenting situation,” the source said. “Everything is really good now and should be the same in the near and distant future.”

J-Lo will release her new album This is Me… Now, a follow-up to her 2002 album This is Me…Then, which featured several songs about or inspired by Affleck.

Affleck and the Marry Me actress first dated from 2002 to 2004. They were engaged at the time but ended things.

The Chasing Amy actor married the Alias ​​alum in 2005 and split in 2018 after having three children.

JLo and Ben rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married in 2022 in Las Vegas and at Affleck’s estate in Georgia.

“It’s a beautiful love story that we were given a second chance,” the Selena star shared People.

Lopez is doing a lot of press for her upcoming album release, including a film of her holding a love note that Affleck wrote her when they first dated.

The letter is dated December 24, 2002.

“Life is hard, but you are sweet,” the note reads. ‘Thanks for the gift. I hope you like the flowers. You told me you could never have enough. I believe you.’

It is signed ‘B.’
