He's a doting dad.
And Ben Affleck was spotted, once again, spending his weekend with his children this Sunday.
The Good Will Hunting star gave extra special attention to seven-year-old son Samuel, when he attended his young one's baseball game in Los Angeles.
Showing his desire to be a hands-on dad, Affleck took an on-field role and helped coach the kids.

The two-time Oscar-winner paced the sidelines looking healthy and fit in fitted jeans, a t-shirt and a light grey hoodie.
With a chill in the Southern California air, he covered up with a dark blue jacket and added burgundy sneakers and a Dodger blue baseball cap.

Affleck wasted little time moving off the sidelines and onto the field to help set-up the bases around the field, as well as a self-pitching machine.

Whoops: The father of three showed a little more than he was aware when he bent over to adjust a self-pitching machine
At one point, the actor showed a little more than he was aware, when he bent down to adjust the mechanics of the pitching device.
The move exposed part of his derriere and the bottom-left portion of his giant phoenix tattoo that covers much of his back.
Eventually he got it working and the kids were able to take some batting practice.

Topic of conversation: The actor's back tattoo was a huge subject of conversation when it was first noticed in early 2018
Affleck's back tattoo was a huge subject of conversation when it was first noticed in early 2018.
Some people were very critical of the artwork.
At first the actor claimed it was a fake that was drawn on his back for a movie role. But he changed his story during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in March.
'Your back tattoo got a lot of attention', Ellen said during their sit down with a picture of a shirtless Affleck in the studio monitor behind them.
'Not so much positive,' he admitted. 'It's a phoenix'.

With Ellen quick to quip: 'rising from your a**', Ben continued: 'I was about to say it represents something really important to me!
'It's meaningful to me. I like it. It's not something I sort of kept private. The sentiment ran against... but I love my tattoo, I'm happy with it. Luckily, I'm the one who has it.'
Along with Samuel, Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner share daughters Violet, 13, and Seraphina, 10.
