Ben Affleck treated his middle child Fin to a Broadway show while on vacation in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday.
The 53-year-old movie star appeared to be in good spirits bonding with the non-binary 17-year-old, whose gender affirmation happened at their grandfather’s memorial service nearly two years ago.
Fin – formerly known as Seraphina Rose – was dressed warmly in a black jacket over a long yellow dog-print scarf, baggy black jeans and grey sneakers.
Affleck – who obliged a fan with a selfie – wore a black peacoat over a white button-up shirt untucked over slim black jeans and brown boots.
The two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker and Fin took in one-man show Every Brilliant Thing starring Daniel Radcliffe at the Hudson Theatre.
Duncan Macmillan wrote and directed the solo show – featuring audience participation – about a man, who writes down life’s little joys on Post-its to heal the trauma of his suicidal mother.
Affleck also welcomed 20-year-old daughter Violet (who’s enrolled at Yale University) and 14-year-old son Samuel during his decade-long marriage to Daredevil leading lady Jennifer Garner, which ended in 2018.
On Monday, DeuxMoi shared a video of the Rip producer-star’s second ex-wife Jennifer Lopez groaning after a fan revealed his name was Ben during an audience participation segment of her All Night Live in Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace’s The Colosseum.
Affleck and the 56-year-old pop diva finalized their divorce on February 21 after less than three years of wedded bliss.
Coincidentally, Lopez also has a non-binary child called Emme Maribel Muñiz, who’s used they/them pronouns and been gender-neutral as far back as 2022.
Fin and Emme were blended and grew up together for about five years.
Two weeks ago, the Dunkin’ brand ambassador got a hefty boost to his reported $150 million fortune when Netflix acquired his AI start-up company InterPositive.
An insider told Bloomberg that Affleck and his investors will earn up to $600 million from the streaming giant as long as it meets ‘certain performance targets.’
In a statement, the celebrity senior advisor said he ‘couldn’t be happier’ with the Netflix deal after quietly founding the LA-based company in 2022 with a 16-person team of engineers, researchers and creatives.
And since 2022, Affleck has also kept busy running independent artist-led studio, The Artists Equity, with his childhood friend Matt Damon and Gerry Cardinale of RedBird Capital.
The Boston besties – who are 10th cousins once removed – originally met as neighbors in Cambridge, MA before co-writing their Oscar-winning screenplay for Gus Van Sant’s 1997 drama Good Will Hunting.
Last month, Deadline reported that the Kiss of the Spider Woman producers will oversee Tom McCarthy’s untitled darkly comic drama for Sony Classics starring Paul Rudd, Evan Peters, Amy Ryan, Paul Giamatti and Tatiana Maslany.
Affleck recently shot his sixth feature directorial effort Animals – which he co-wrote, produced, directed, and starred in as LA Mayoral candidate Milo Bradford.
The Netflix hostage thriller also features Gillian Anderson, Kerry Washington and Steven Yeun.
The Eastern Congo Initiative co-founder previously helmed Gone Baby Gone (2007), The Town (2010), Argo (2012), Live by Night (2016) and Air (2023).
