Ben Affleck Takes Birthday Trip To Orlando With Jennifer Garner And Kids

It is no secret that Jennifer Garner‘s career took a backseat to Ben Affleck’s, while he went on to become a well respected member of the Hollywood elite.

The “Gone Girl” star, who recently confirmed his split from Jennifer Garner after 10 years of marriage, flew back to Atlanta today (08.14.15) to be with his daughters, Violet, nine, and Seraphina, six, and three-year-old Samuel one day before his 43rd birthday. On Tuesday, she was all smiles having lunch at Beverly Hills restaurant Illinois Pastaio with two girlfriends, sipping wine and even requesting an outdoor table, a source told ET.

“Ben’s focus has been on his family and his work-with family coming first”, a source shared with E! Either way he’s sure to have a good time.

Though Affleck was reportedly separated by the time his relationship with the nanny began, Christine Ouzounian was still engaged, sources claim. According to Us Weekly, Affleck’s mom is also with them. As rumours mounted that Ouzouian was secretly dating Affleck – vehemently denied by his reps, but not by her – she moved into the Hotel Bel-Air, where rooms start at US$1000 ($1355) per night.

Ouzounian has mostly kept out of the public eye, but last week posted a picture on Instagram showing herself with a new Lexus IS convertible.
