Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's daughter Violet Affleck enjoyed a special day out with her rarely seen grandmother Christopher Anne Boldt in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on Wednesday.
The Yale University student was spotted getting lunch with her dad's mom in the star-studded neighbourhood. Violet exuded chic in a simple black T-shirt tucked into a long floral-print skirt. The summery ensemble was teamed with a pair of white sneakers and a vintage Chloe Marcie Buck Bag, which resales for a staggering $1,000.

Meanwhile, Christopher opted for an all-white ensemble that featured a cozy cardigan and matching straight-leg pants. The stylish look was completed with a black leather shoulder bag and a pair of matching strappy wedge heels.
The Harvard-educated elementary school teacher walked alongside her granddaughter as the pair spent some quality time together.

Ben Affleck's parents
Christopher and Timothy Affleck resided in California when they welcomed their eldest son in 1972. When the actor was three years old, the family relocated to Massachusetts and welcomed their second child, Casey Affleck.

When you’re a kid, you just want to stay home and hang out with your friends. You don’t want to go to your grandparents’ house. But tradition meant a lot to her. She just insisted. We had a lot of fights about that. But now I love it and those are some of my favorite memories," Ben told People in 2020.
The actor's mother was also always supportive of Ben's performing pursuits. "I got into acting as a young child on account of a sort of arbitrary thing. A friend of my mom’s was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark," Ben shared with Parade. "I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it."
