Ben Affleck’s Kids Roast His Dating Advice

His Jimmy Kimmel Live! anecdotes tie playful family teasing to his public relationship history as he promotes the film Animals.

Overview

  • Affleck, which appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, Sept. 24, said his three children routinely mock him when he tries to give dating or relationship advice.
  • He told a story of his 17‑year‑old cutting him off with, “Oh, like you’re the expert on relationships?” and another where a child deadpanned that a book titled I’m Sorry for Everything was “your autobiography.”
  • The actor named his children and their ages as Violet, 20, Seraphina (Fin), 17, and Samuel, 14, and described the ribbing as part of normal parent‑teen dinner‑table dynamics.
  • Coverage links the jokes to Affleck’s high‑profile past marriages to Jennifer Garner (2005–2018) and Jennifer Lopez (married 2022, divorce finalized 2025) and notes he is not publicly dating.
  • Reporters treat the remarks as light, humanizing copy that surfaced during a promotional TV stop for Animals and that highlights how late‑night interviews can turn personal family moments into headlines.
