Who is Samuel Garner Affleck?

Born on February 27, 2012 in California, USA, Samuel Garner Affleck is best known as the son of actors Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner during their marriage. He is their youngest child and their only son together. Although he has largely lived out of the limelight, both of his parents are heavily followed by the media thanks to their successful careers.

Samuel Garner Affleck’s net worth

At the beginning of 2020, Samuel Garner Affleck’s net worth is unknown as at the age of eight he still depends on the wealth generated by his parents’ success.

He benefits from Ben Affleck’s net worth which is estimated at over $130 million while his mother, on the other hand, has an estimated net worth of over $60 million.

Relationship of parents

Before starting their relationship, Ben and Jennifer had several high-profile romantic associations. Affleck previously had relationships with actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez. Garner had relationships with Scott Foley and “Alias” co-star Michael Vartan. The two first met on the set of “Pearl Harbor” in 2001, but it wasn’t until two years later, while filming “Daredevil”, that they became increasingly interested together.

After two years of dating, the couple had a private wedding ceremony in the Turks and Caicos Islands in 2005 – actor Victor Garber officiating the wedding and his husband were the only ones in attendance. Despite enjoying the high points of their careers, the couple preferred to keep such things away from the media. They didn’t mind being followed by paparazzi and the questions their relationship brought, but that changed when their first child, their daughter Violet Anne, was born in 2005. After meeting the paparazzi, he issued a warning that they should stay away, or at least blur their children’s faces.

Early life and parental divorce

Affleck and Garner had another child, daughter Seraphina, in 2009, and three years later she announced she was pregnant again – he had expressed his wish to have a son and it was as he wanted, with Samuel who in 2012 came into the world. Their relationship was fine for the next three years, although tensions eventually rose. Affleck suffered badly from an addiction to alcoholism, and their acting careers also began to take a toll on their relationship.

In 2015, the couple announced they were separating, although they continued to live in the same house, in a boarding house, so the couple could still co-parent their children.

The media saw the family spending time together, going to the beach, going out for dinner and doing a lot of normal activities, and it had been rumored for some time that the couple would give things another chance. However, in 2017, Affleck moved out of the family home and the couple subsequently filed for divorce, which was finalized a year later after a lengthy custody battle; they sought joint legal and physical custody of their children. Despite their divorce, Affleck has repeated that Garner remains the most important person in his life.

Father – Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck began his acting career as a child, appearing in the series “The Voyage of the Mimi” in the late 1980s.

In 1995, as a teenager, he landed several notable roles in such projects as “Dazed and Confused,” “Mallrats,” and “Chasing Amy.” In 1997, he teamed up with childhood friend Matt Damon on the movie “Good Will Hunting,” with the duo winning an Academy Award for both working on the screenplay of the movie.

In 1998, he then established himself as a lead actor in ‘Armageddon’, which later led to roles in ‘Pearl Harbor’ and ‘The Sum of All Fears’. The early 2000s saw a bit of a career downturn, with poor reviews for films like “Gigli” and “Daredevil”.

He later returned with more hits such as “Hollywoodland” and his directorial debut “Gone Baby Gone”. In 2012, he won Golden Globe, BAFTA and Academy Awards for his movie “Argo”. He also starred in “Gone Girl”, and played Batman for films such as “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” along with its sequel “Justice League”.

Mother – Jennifer Garner

After a supporting role in “Pearl Harbor”, Jennifer gained much recognition for her starring role in the ABC series “Alias”, playing the lead female character, CIA officer Sydney Bristow. For her work on the show, she won numerous awards, including a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild.

In 2004, she began moving into mainstream film work, appearing in “13 on 30,” before playing the Marvel character Elektra in 2005’s “Daredevil” and “Elektra.”

Other successful projects she has had over the years include ‘Juno’ and ‘The Invention of Lying’. In 2013, she worked on the Academy Award winning film ‘Dallas Buyers Club”, alongside Matthew McConaughey who portrayed an AIDS patient in the mid-1980s. She showed her versatility with projects such as “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” and “Miracles from Heaven”. One of her latest projects is the action movie “Peppermint”, in which she returned to her action roots.

Besides acting, she is also active with charitable endeavors and serves as a board member of Save the Children. She is an advocate of early childhood education and, like her former husband, opposes paparazzi focusing their attention on celebrity children.

Private life

Samuel is busy growing up and completing his education. Very few details are known about him, mainly because the media is very careful when it comes to children of celebrities. His parents are seemingly distant from each other in a romantic sense, with Ben in one relation with producer Lindsay Shookus from 2017 to 2018. There are no reports of his mother as she seems to be busy raising her children and working on new acting projects.
