Ben Affleck holds hands with girlfriend Jennifer Lopez while out in Santa Monica with his son Samuel

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck looked like two doting parents as they stepped out with the actor’s son in Santa Monica on Thursday.

The pop star, 52, and the Oscar winner, 49, tenderly held hands as they walked next to Samuel, 10, whom Ben shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 49.

Lopez looked stylish as ever, sporting a floral top with bishop sleeves, tight-fitting blue denim, and a chic dark green Gucci belt.

The veteran entertainer paired her fashionable ensemble with white open-toe heels as well as an assortment of gold jewelry, including a chunky bracelet and a heart-shaped necklace.

The Ain’t Your Mama hitmaker kept her eyes shielded from the sun with a pair of green-tinted aviator sunglasses, and wore her highlighted brunette tresses in a sleek high ponytail. 

Meanwhile the Gone Girl actor looked casual cool in a crisp grey shirt worn over a blue T-shirt and a pair of black jeans.

The California-born and Boston-raised star donned a pair of grey and white sneakers, and like his lady love sported a pair of aviator sunglasses.

Later on he was spotted picking up drinks and pizza in Brentwood while Jennifer waited for him in his new Tesla Model S Plaid. 

The sighting comes as the couple are reportedly getting closer than ever to their second engagement, after recently making an offer on a swanky 10 bedroom, 17 bathroom mansion in Bel Air.

A source close to the pair – who rekindled their romance in 2021, after calling off their engagement in 2004 – said they’re now talking about tying the knot again.

‘Ben and Jen can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together and know that they were destined to be together,’ an insider told ET. ‘An engagement is on the table and it has been an ongoing conversation.’ 

Ben and Jennifer are ‘committed to having a healthy, everlasting relationship,’ they continued.

The insider explained: ‘They actively talk about what didn’t work in the past and use those experiences to strengthen their relationship now, for the future and for the sake of themselves and their families.

Ben is also hugely supportive of the chart-topping star. ‘Ben is Jen’s number one fan and he completely champions her and always tells her how great she is. He loves talking about her different projects,’ they continued.

‘She is a huge supporter of his too, but Ben really can’t stop telling everyone how smart and hardworking she is.’

The singer reflected on her romance to PEOPLE last month, saying: ‘We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things.’

The couple’s romance created huge interest in the early 2000s. But the Jenny From The Block hitmaker is convinced they will both be able to cope with the pressure this time around.

She explained: ‘I think we are strong enough now to know what’s real and what’s not, whereas when we were younger maybe some of those outside voices were a little bit tougher for us to reconcile and survive.’

Jennifer shares twins Emme and Max, 14, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, besides Samuel, Ben is also dad to daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, whom he also shares with Garner.
