Ben Affleck Fresh Off Met Gala With J Lo & Back To Dad Duties, Actor Seen In Passenger Seat As 15-Year-Old Daughter Drives Him Around Ritzy Brentwood Neighborhood

Ben Affleck's living two lives — one that's all about the glitz and glamour with girlfriend Jennifer Lopez and another that's a regular, doting dad to his three kids.
The 49-year-old Justice League star is back in Los Angeles after a whirlwind press tour with his lady of five months.
Fresh off his most recent appearance at the Met Gala, where he kissed J Lo through his mask, Affleck was spotted looking like a proud papa in the passenger seat of his Mercedes-Benz with his daughter — 15-year-old Violet — behind the wheel.
She wasn't just driving her Academy Award-winning father around his ritzy Brentwood neighborhood; her siblings — 12-year-old Seraphina and 9-year-old Samuel — were in the back seat of daddy's luxury vehicle.
Affleck's tribe — which he created with ex-wife Jen Garner — were photographed on Thursday walking through a parking lot and heading to lunch after the Gone Girl actor gave his teenager a lesson in parking.
He kept it casual for his day out with his children. Affleck opted for khaki pants instead of a tux, which has been his staple over the past week.
Rocking the light-colored bottoms, he matched his laid-back look with a checkered button-up, sneakers, and a black jacket.
Holding his youngest's hand as the group slid through photographers, Affleck appeared to be on cloud nine during his solo lunch date with his three spawn ahead of the weekend.
Despite having a non-stop week that consisted of jetting to Venice, Italy, to make his red carpet debut with J Lo, then flying to New York City for the year's biggest night in fashion, home with his kids is where Affleck seems most comfortable.
He's been soaking up a lot of attention lately — which is what happens when you date a goddess like J Lo.
The two made their highly-anticipated red carpet debut for the first time in almost 20 years last week during the Venice Film Festival.

Affleck and J Lo dressed to impress but looked nervous as hell when they jumped out of their car and onto the carpet. Those nerves quickly subsided when the crowd cheered in approval.
The couple looked much more comfortable at their second major event — the Met Gala. While Affleck opted out of walking the carpet to give J Lo and her plunging Ralph Lauren gown all the attention, he showed up later to slap a kiss on her for a photo op.
It's only fair Affleck spends time with his kids now that he's in town because his ex-wife was on mommy duty all week long.
