Ben Affleck’s daughter Violet, 15, was seen driving her father and siblings to lunch in Brentwood on Thursday afternoon.
The 49-year-old performer was also spotted staying close to his three children as they made their way through a restaurant’s parking lot as they prepared to sit down together.
The actor shares his daughters and son with his former wife, Jennifer Garner, and has been in the process of introducing them to the twins of his current partner, Jennifer Lopez.

Affleck and Garner initially met while working on features such as Pearl Harbor and Daredevil, both of which were released in the early 2000s.
The two officially began dating in 2004 and tied the knot the following year during an intimate ceremony that was held in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The happy couple started their family when they welcomed Violet, aged 15, the year they held their wedding.
The performers waited four years before they added their middle child Seraphina, aged 12, to their lives.

Affleck and Garner, 49, eventually welcomed their only son Samuel, aged nine, into their family in 2012.
The former pair remained together for three more years before they announced that they were planning to dissolve their union in 2015.
The two filed legal documents regarding the custody of their children two years later, and they officially divorced in 2018.
The performers have remained on good terms ever since the end of their marriage and currently co-parent their children.

Affleck recently rekindled his romance with Lopez after nearly two decades of separation.
The performers initially met on the set of the 2003 film Gigli, in which both he and the 52-year-old hitmaker appeared.
They were previously engaged for an extended period of time but called off their planned 2004 wedding days before it was set to occur, and they split up not long afterward.
The songstress went on to welcome a pair of twins, Emme and Maximilian, with her former husband, Marc Anthony, whom she divorced in 2014.

Although they kept in touch as friends during their period of separation, Affleck and Lopez reconciled this past April, although neither confirmed anything at the time.
The two later went Instagram official this past July and made their red carpet debut at the recently-held Venice Film Festival.
A source previously spoke to Entertainment Tonight and noted that the couple made up for lost time very quickly after their reconciliation.
The insider noted that ‘it is like they never broke up, but everything is way better this time. They are all over each other and their friends joke around about it with them.’

They also expressed that the couple was preparing to remain in each other’s company during the upcoming holiday season.
‘They plan on spending the holidays together with the kids and also taking some solo trips. They want to be together all of the time, so their next big things are Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the kids,’ they said.
The source then noted that Garner was happy about her ex-husband’s new romance and expressed that the former couple was still committed to their kids’ well-being.
‘Her kids love J.Lo and J.Lo loves them too. It is all positive. When Ben is happy and the kids are happy, Jen feels like there is nothing she can be upset about…She and Ben are getting along so well in a co-parenting sense and all is good,’ they said.
