Papa wears purple! Ben Affleck, 44, goes for a new look as he walks hand-in-hand with children Seraphina and Samuel 

He's been busy with projects such as Witness For The Prosecution and Live By Night.

But on Sunday Ben Affleck made time for some family bonding with younger daughter Seraphina, seven, and son Samuel, four.

The 44-year-old looked to be in good spirits as he kept close to his children, walking hand-in-hand with them in Pacific Palisades.

Just the three of us! Ben Affleck got in a bit of bonding time with younger children Seraphina and Samuel in Pacific Palisades on Sunday

Ben wore a purple, plaid button down, teamed with a pair of black trousers and grey, low-top sneakers.

He looked every bit the doting dad as he was spotted walking hand-in-hand with his two younger children.

Neither eldest daughter Violet, 10, nor Ben's estranged wife Jennifer Garner, 44, were photographed on the outing.

Daughter Seraphina was dressed comfortably for the outing, in a blue, Los Angeles sweatshirt over a coordinating, navy blue shirt, and dark shorts.

She finished off her look with grey and pink sneakers, while little brother Samuel wore a button down just like dad.

He sported his over top of a blue, graphic print T-shirt, also wearing jeans, and blue sneakers.

Earlier this weekend Ben had been spotted grabbing coffee at Caffe Luxxe in Santa Monica with Jennifer and Samuel.

Ben and Jennifer shocked fans back in June of 2015 when they announced their split, but have since remained cordial.

Their pleasant relationship has even prompted rumors of a reconciliation during recent months, after Jennifer headed to England at the same time as Ben.

Meanwhile, Ben's drama Live by Night - which he starred in, directed, and produced, as well as penned the screenplay - hits theaters on January 13.
