Amid news of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's reported marital troubles, the couple are maintaining a quiet but unified front while continuing to lead their personal and professional lives.

Through it all, however, the 51-year-old actor remains a doting father to not only JLo's twins Max and Emme, but his own children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.

The three children have grown up in the spotlight as a result of their parents' high-profile relationship, with their marriage lasting from 2005-2018. And over the years, they've grown into adorable versions of their parents, such as when Fin used their new name publicly for the first time, seen in the clip below…

All three together

In 2018, all three kids joined their mom for her star ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's one of the only public appearances from Fin, who prefers to lead their life more privately than their siblings.

Legal Ties

It seems like the oldest of the bunch has a pronounced interest in high-profile legal events, as in 2015, at just nine years old, she joined her mom as they listened to Ben testify before a Senate Appropriations State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee.

Samuel's love for sports

Samuel, on the other hand, has made quite a few public appearances, more than his siblings. In particular, just like his parents, he's a major sports fan, more specifically basketball and soccer.
